EGR Coolers

You should get your vehicle checked by a qualified technician if your vehicle displays a diagnostic warning light, you experience loss of performance, increased fuel consumption, loss of power, loud noises from the engine or black/white smoke.

A local Natrad specialist can perform a free inspection on your vehicle cooling system.

The repair or replacement cost for your EGR cooler depends on the vehicle specifications, as well as the reason for the EGR circulation failure. In most cases if the EGR valve needs to be replaced, the pipes and hoses will also need to be replaced to prevent re-contamination.

Getting regular oil changes will prevent sludge build up in the engine and help to protect your EGR cooler. Having the EGR valve cleaned every 80,000 to 100,000 km will also help maintain efficient EGR performance.

An undetected EGR cooler fault can lead to serious engine damage. If you think there may be an issue with your vehicle cooling, such as a coolant leak, or white smoke from the exhaust, it’s best to have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the head gasket or turbocharger.

If the original equipment EGR cooler is faulty, replacing with a more efficient, durable EGR cooler can prevent early failure. Ask your Natrad specialist about an EGR cooler upgrade for your vehicle.
