EGR was fitted to some 340 1.4s to try and make them more 'eco-friendly' but to be honest their always reputed to be more trouble than they're worth. (Ask Peter Milnes, 740s and 940s quite often have them fitted and the valves always malfunction)

I have no experience with them as I've never had a 300 with it fitted. As far as I can see, if they've sealed up all the tubes and bypasses etc properly, then the car should be fine and pass all the emissions comfortably as long as the carb is in good condition.

If you really want to know more about EGRs and Volvo's post a message on the 700 forum, just say that the guys on the 300 forums didn't know much about EGR.

Hope that helps

Andy
