If you have Vida, the instructions are accurate although you need to remove the plastic under the windscreen and the bulkhead behind the engine, it bolts on. Took me a while to work that out.

I couldn’t get the EGR valve to disengage from one of the thermostat housing pipes, it’s just a push fit but wouldn’t shift. I ended up cutting the pipe with a small dremel and dealing with the pipe on the bench.

I estimate I’d be able to to the job 2-3 hours quicker having done it once and knowing what has to come off.
Thank you. That's helpful.

It will be good to know if you see a reduction in fuel consumption in due course.
