Is the EGR valve the same thing as a swirl valve?
Think mine is pooped!
Any advice would be great!

Oh i for got to say my EGR valve has gone after only 20563 miles!
2 totally different things mate, EGR makes the can reburn exhaust gases, and a swirl valve opens up a 2nd set of pathways to the air intake chamber. thus altering the swirl pattern of the air i believe...
Do the swirl valves play up much??
yes, they become coked up become sticky, you can also see them 'lift' slightly which is why you get oily deposits around them, and the bar which connects them altogether likes to fall off too!, 2 options cheapo £1 rubber wash fix (may/maynot last depending if the valves jam up) and the other option is complete new inlet manifold with swirl valve
im looking to clean the egr on my dti signum....do i need any sort of gasket or replacement parts when refitting or is it a straight remove clean and refit?
Assuming it's the Y20DTH engine with the electric EGR, (I don't know anything about Signums), it's sealed by an O-ring. You may get away with it but the VX part number is 93172881.
