bigredhdt Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Getting egr position fault codes. Has anyone replaced egr themselves? Ps. Tried searching egr on forums and got no results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclord2002 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I am considering the EGR delete kit from OTR Performance Parts, as I am also getting an EGR code. Considering the cost of replacing the EGR valves and/or cooler, the kit seems pretty attractive. Be safe. Charlie Don't ever tell a soldier that he doesn't understand the cost of war.

jeffw Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 We bought our truck from another forum member in March. He told us that both EGR valves had been replaced when he bought it from Arrrow truck. He put on about 15,000 miles in 3 years. We had the truck a couple of weeks and started getting EGR position errors. Based on the fact that they had been replaced recently and were starting to fail again, I started looking at options. I found a few forum members that had opted for this as a solution: http://otrperformance.com/product/d12-ved12-egr-performance-kit-vnl-vn-vhd/ So we gave it a try. Since then we've put on about 1,000 miles and no codes. The truck is pulling well. 2007 Volvo 780 Volvo D12D, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigredhdt Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 My truck seems to be running hotter than usual did ya'Ll see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffw Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 We were just in some 90-95 degree heat and the truck seemed to be at normal temps even with the AC running. Temps would settle around 180degF and then climb a bit and then the fan would kick on and it would drop back down. In theory the EGR delete should drop coolant temps since the EGR cooler is no longer doing anything. 2007 Volvo 780 Volvo D12D, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffw Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I'm asking before you did delete, werected you seeing higher temps? Ahh. No, not that I recall. But it was still spring so not quite so hot. 2007 Volvo 780 Volvo D12D, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclord2002 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I have not seen any higher temps, even when I get the egr codes. I suppose if one or both egr valves were stuck open you might see some temp rise ?? Charlie Don't ever tell a soldier that he doesn't understand the cost of war.
