G'day from Down Under! I'm the proud owner of a 2007 C6. My mechanic has told me I need a new front EGR Valve. Citroen Australia want a vast fortune for one so he suggested I buy one in the UK/Europe. Can anyone suggest a good parts supplier? The part number is 1618 N7 Thanks, Steve |

If you financially contribute to the forum you can get discount from a couple of UK dealers here apparently. I just got quotes on a couple of stuff and I'd say around half the price I'd pay here in NZ (not sure how it compares vs Aussie but I bet it'd be around the same) Even without the discount it should be way cheaper - shipping and import duty might be an issue depending on the size and the value. | ||

You really want to go with Valeo (front one 700410). It is the OEM supplier also. I tried with the cheaper one and it was no good. The cheapest Valeo I found is in Germany, 129 euros: - Click Here - In the UK they seem to cost around 200 pounds. The only thing is the shipping cost which is an insane 120 euros!!? |

Yes, EGR valves on 2.7HDI engines starting 2005 on Jags, Land Rovers and Peugeot´s are the same (EGR coolers are different on Land Rover though but this is not a question). The reference of the valve may also be different, in case of Land Rover it is not front and back but left and right because of the engine displacement. Front=left and right=back. | ||
