@Olneved Feb 12, 2024MemberOn my car I drained the coolant before replacing the EGR. I think your car will need to be drained as well.Reply - CHEVROLET CAPTIVA (C100, C140) 2.2 D 4WD@user_2235736 @Olneved Feb 12, 2024MemberOK. THX.I hope I didn’t do something super stupid.I untightened the EGR valve without draining it (following the instructions from the Autodoc 🙁 ) and some of the coolant came out. I hope it didn’t get inside the motor. Would it be a huge problem if coolant entered in?Anyone has any experience on that?I am scared to start the car, so I don’t make any major damage.Reply
- @Olneved @user_2235736 Feb 12, 2024MemberYes, if antifreeze gets into the engine, this can be a problem and can lead to engine failure. I’ve never encountered anything like this and can’t really give you any sufficient advice.Reply
- CHEVROLET CAPTIVA (C100, C140) 2.2 D 4WD@user_2235736 @Olneved Feb 12, 2024MemberThank you.Anyone else have some knowledge of this kind of problem?How could I check if there is coolant further down the pipes? Where does it go? What is the next component?Reply
