How much to pay for EGR cooler?

I think you can get one for around $100. You really don't need a spare, it's easy to clean the one you have with a pressure washer. Remove it and clean it

 

That’s getting within hailing distance of NEW, from some discount online sources (maybe, prices do seem to be climbing, supply and demand, and time, pushing it up?). Still, I’d second cleaning; replacement is convenience, not necessity.

 

Do a search of junk yards online. It will take time, but you'll find one for less.
I paid $55 for mine, with shipping. They can be found.

 

Got an extra for sale 100 bucks

 

^ Bump!

.....Delivered?
.....Cleaned?

Not interested myself, just upping clicks on the thread.....

Good Luck!

 

Here's Amayama page:

Getting kind of pricey, especially with shipping, for me on west coast Canada. At least that's all-in, judging from past purchases: no extra taxes or duties levied:

 

What we did in the Bay Area starting out was have one spare that we shared and then "spaced out" the usage pattern .

Then the pressure washer came into the mix.

Sold the spare for $100 and never needed it again.

 

A car wash works.

I believe that's what @RightOnTime has done before.

No need to buy .

 

I have one from Home Depot, it's just a hose attachment that you use to water plants and vegetables. It has a small round fitting and you stick that fitting into the cooler, instant pressure washer

 

clean valve assembly? Is it needed?

 

one in Indiana for $60

 

A pressure washer at the friendly neighborhood car wash is probably a quick way to do the deed, provided the car you are pulling the EGR off of is not also your transportation to said car wash.

 

I bought one off of eBay for $130 shipped. But it was dirty as, well you know...

I wish I had a pressure washer, so far I've tried many different things to get it clean. Oven cleaner was first, but my wife had the foaming spray, so that didn't get very far into the cooler at all.

Then I did soaks in Simple Green Pro HD cleaner, which did better, but the passages were still full of hard carbon and thick oil. My last stage is running a steel wire through all the passages I can, and continuing the soaking in the cleaner. It's been three days now.

I'm definitely glad I got the spare cooler now. My wife would not be happy about her car being undriveable for days.
