Top tip: If you think the solenoid feels free or looks OK......drill as per pics, strip and clean it anyway
DONT do what I did(or didn't do!)............as per previous comment
Thought I was being clever and ended up being a NUMPTY
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS (RTFM) as per the
'how to clean z19 egr valve (proper method)' link
like I have just done for the second time and you should hopefully have what feels like a new car!!!
All I can say is OH.....MY...............GAAAAAWD - what a difference
I had to keep my foot on the brake to keep it from driving ITSELF up the road!!!!!
Thank you so so much to
jon7278 for the info
Total cost by the way: £3.98 plus two hours of my time
(Time would have been less if I had not had to strip it out/down TWICE)
PS
Ensure you get BOTH new gaskets not just the square one
(Glad I said both when the guy at the stealers asked - and for the sake of just over £1 - when the pipe is off anyway)
