That is an EGR blanking plate. Commonly used when an aftermarket inlet is fitted. Mantzel, Dbilas etc.

It blanks the part of the EGR valve. connects to the side of the lower inlet manifold

its not an egr blanking plare as such. it does blank the egr feed from the throttle body though. only used when fitting a performance inlet manifold
what you have in your pic is an egr valve, yes.

My EML comes on aswell. It's because of that blanking plate.

what does that blanking plate block though?
as my x14xe was standard in my astra, and it didnt have anything on it that looked like it fitted there.
therefore if it wasnt there in the 1st place, it shouldnt be causing the light to come on.
any ideas?

the inlet systems on the astra x14xe are different to the corsa. astra tb sits at the top of engine. manifold designs are totally different.
the astra has nothin like that

anyone got any ideas a sto why the EML comes on?
Surely blanking that port on the inlet wouldnt do anything, as my astra never had anything there to be bolted onto that place on the corsa's inlet

Just to bring this back up randomly...when fitting an aftermarket inlet do u need to blank off the egr valve or can it be done just leaving it alone?
