Better to call it an EGR system...not just a valve. If the system has been compromised, your check engine (lambda) light would be on. (Make sure it's still functioning.) The screw, however, is a hack: it should be replaced by a bonafide vacuum cap...very, very cheap at any discount auto parts house.

A Haynes manual would have a better explanation than I can provide of how the EGR system operates.
