Is this considered a good idea on a 3.0 94'

The general concensus on these forums seems to be that it is a good idea on any vehicle.

is there more than one hose??

I'm still fairly new to surfs and egr systems and am not familiar with where it all is under the bonnet, just thought a pointer would help me.

[da SLUG man]

i think there's a sticky thread somewhere with photos and detailed explaination.

here's some picies of how to do it with a 6mm ball bearing or similar sized plug!

1) locate EGR valve - next to fuel filter
2 pull off hose exiting top right
3) insert ball bearing (plastic BB shot in my case) into open end of hose and push all way in
4 replace hose over EGR valve pipe - just to keep things tidy and secured out of the way.

(and yes - I do have lovely hands for a 16 stone hairy ar$ed fitter!!)

Did it today can't believe how much difference it made, Took the pipe off and shoved a cut down M5 coach bolt in the pipe and cable tied it up.
