Cleaning EGR valve 2003 Odyssey
I have the infamous problem with the EGR valve on my van. I know I can
bring it to the dealer to get it fixed, but is there a way I can just remove it and clean it? It seems very easy to remove, but do I need to replace the gasket? Nobody but the dealer sells this gasket. |

Ok, I agree. I will take it to the dealer next week. But the reason why
I ask the original question is because I am taking a trip this Columbus Day weekend to upstate NY (about 175 miles) and I do not have the time this week to take it to the dealer. I was just wondering would I be having any problems using the van or will there be any ill effects? |

Odyssey has had a number of EGR problems well known to Odyssey owners (
www.odyclub.com ) The early models get the ports drilled out and a sleeve installed. Later models had a problem with the EGR valve itself. Honda has extended the warranty period on the Odyssey and Pilot (I think) so call the dealer before spending your hard earned dollars......

An EGR problem would show up at low RPMs in any gear.

Update: cancelled the trip upstate this weekend because it's suppose to
rain. Van is at the dealer this morning. Good thing I did not take the trip because I was on the expressway this morning doing about 60 and I really noticed the hesitation. So is this a new design EGR, or is it the same kind which will give problems again in the future? |
