This NISSENS Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve, part number 98185, is designed to restore your vehicle's emissions system to its original functionality. The EGR system plays a crucial role in reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gas back into the engine's combustion chambers. This process lowers combustion temperatures, thereby minimizing the formation of NOx. When the EGR valve malfunctions, it can lead to increased emissions, poor engine performance, rough idling, and potential engine warning lights. Replacing a faulty EGR valve with this high-quality NISSENS unit ensures proper operation of the emissions control system and helps maintain engine efficiency.
