Great pics, BUT there are a few differences from the Volvo Vadis program:

Firstly a special Volvo tool can be used to remove the EGR without splitting it in two. It is available from Volvo dealers or the main Online parts companies for around 60 quid, although the ones I checked had to order it from Scandy land first.

Secondly, when using the special hook spanner, Vadis says to drip rust solvent into the flange to try and help it move.

Thirdly, the torque settings for the retaining bolts are fairly low, so Vadis says to use Locktight on all the bolts, along with a new metal crush type gasket.

I've just ordered the special Volvo EGR hook spanner and will post a pic here in about a weeks time.
