Thanks , replaced today along with new map sensor and egr valve, sparks and oil change , now engine is good and stopped leaking, must do the timing belt and water pump next as car has nearly 65000miles with no history of belt change .

Good going :)

Try use a genuine cambelt and water pump kit if you can. Quality is 10x better than copy parts.

hi alex,

ordered the genuine cambelt and water pump kit, what is the metal hose that goes underneath the egr valve,
mine is burning and smoke coming out, smells like hot engine, its gone black too,
I would like to change that too.
