here is a pic of a egr valve for a corsa b 1.0l 12v, if this is the sensor then it looks like you can unscrew the sensor.Hope this helps

locate the egr valve on ure car and give it a good clean with carb cleaner as they get carbed up. if this doesnt help then u may need to replace it but when mine played up on the vectra i just disconnected it with the intention of blanking it off just never got round to doing it although it is easy to do and totally harmless as its a useless piece of equipment anyway

on a 1.6 engine i cant 100% say where it is but it will be around the manifold somewhere as it works on recirculating gas from there
there are 2 bolts to remove and £3 will get u a can of carb cleaner just squirt it in and around the valve to clean it up
are u havin any running problems or is it just the light comin on?

unplugging the egr makes the light come on
blanking off the egr by making a new gasket with almost anything similar to a sheet of aluminium or a 5 pence and then plugging the egr back in will take the light off and stop it comin on again
as for actually removing the egr valve i have no idea

this paperclip test, can it be done on a X12XE (corsaB 1.2 16v) engine and what do you do? My Managagement light has recently come on and its reving funny, 80% sure it will be the ICV but want a readout to confirm...

Sadly you can;t do the paperclip test on your car.
It will be the Motronic 1.5.5 ecu used in 1.2 16v and 1.0 12v.
You have to get the code from a compatible code reader (probably best asking vauxhall)

I dont think u can remove the egr valve as u will lose all the water out of ur car, and u will have a big hole at one end of ur engine.

this is what most people think is the egr valve (see pic), but this is the secondary air valve.This is o.k. to remove.
