On LH-Jetronic B230, would anyone know of an EGR blocking plate available.

Else, use the existing machine screws. Gasket or gasket maker, some washers to support the gasket.

I have the EGR plug bolt and copper washer threads dressed in nickel anti-seize.

Hi Kitty,

I went looking those posts out on Turbo Bricks and thumped on this link.

It lists for like $24 bucks. They are pretty proud of that little bag of goodies.
I didn’t play with the cart so it’s availability is unknown but for me … it’s not.

If I wanted that vintage part, I would make it myself … since I’m already vintage too.
I’m careful when I walk near a dumpster, someplace unknown, as someone is liable to throw me away. (:-)

Hiya Phil Machine Man!

Thank you for your reply!

I phoned a dealership in Lynnwood, WA and he can't fins a single kit for where he is to Sweden

So no go. Someone made an EGR blanking plate on Turbobricks using a 3D printer.

I asked for the CAD or CAM file so I can get dimensions and may ask it to be fabricated.

Some soup can lids and high temp red RTV with the two bolts.

Somewhere 2000 miles distant are EGR pipes and a valve in my collection I guess.

Else, some flimsy steel soup can lids and some red rtv is a temp solution.

These EGR plate used to be easily gotten. Not now!

I'll try to find my rule and measure the flange bolt hole centers.

Hope all is aces!

Thank you!

Hi Kitty,
What do you have an exhaust leak in the EGR system piping and to use an exhaust manifold plug on?

I guess most anything will plug the intake port.

Something to think, if you remove the EGR and it’s temperature sensor system you going to have a CEL problem.
The light will continually come on every time the ECU doesn’t get that change of temperature signal reference when it tells the Vacuum valve to turn on.

On that valve, that’s on the left fender, it has an exhaust port, under the little cap. If that becomes plugged up. The light triggers for either one.
I got a good buy on a car because the PO’s Indy kept throwing good money after that light.
State inspections take that light seriously and it triggers on about every ten miles.

So if you plan on doing this, you can do what my PO did, pull the small battery wire off in the little square terminal box, before every test driver. It was coming due new tags.
I bought the good car and went to get a certificate and the light came on for the technician while there!
I had to take it back after I located the code and traced it.
This was my first car with a CEL. Just because it may not have a EGR showing, upon inspection, they have their ways of seeing flags of tampering, I was told?

You might be lucky that these cars are way older than the technicians.

Good luck up there in your new state of employment.

Glad to have read you moved on and happier.

Hi Kitty,

While I firmly deny knowledge of EGR on a B230 motor, I believe this is the same port used on the earlier motors for the cold start valve or 5th injector. I think "service kit" - 48 in the drawing, consisting of a cover, gasket, and a coupla screws would do the trick. p/n 271418

My wife says I only have 2 faults. I don't listen and something else...

Aha, that might explain why I've not bumped into a cold start injector in the past 30+ years. All my LH-2.x engines have had EGR to help meet Canadian pollution specs which are basically as rigid as California. I'm now guessing it was seemingly more convenient for Volvo to eliminate the cold start injector to be able to use that hole in the existing intake manifold for EGR rather than change the manifold or have two different ones. I imagine a few extra pulses of the injectors by the ECU during initial cold startup cranking easily replaces a cold start injector. The fuel pumps have already been spun up for a couple of seconds by the ECU as soon as the ignition is switched on so there should be enough pressure to get a reliable amount of fuel. EGR needs a different ECU anyway so just one little extra bit of programming to accomplish that and no new manifold needed for production lines and parts chain, not to mention no more cold start injectors. If I'm right, that begs the question why they didn't do that in all the engines?

Hiya Uncle Art!

A Turbobricks forum member mentions:

Here is the post:

Yet no indication if the superseded item is EGR. Dunno if the parts are for EGR or cold start injector port blocking. parts 2a, 2b, 2c seem to be the EGR plate whereas #56 through to 59 are cold start injector port blanking plate kit. The screws look like the Allen key machine screw heads.

Hope all's aces with, Mrs. B. the family, fuzzy fur babies, and your Volvo 240 Armada!

Hiya Art!

Thank you for your kindly reply! Happy June!

Volvo P/N 271418 is NLA. The GCP parts site indicates 'shall not ever return' or something!

Not confident a soup can or frozen orange juice concentrate can lid will work. My fabrication skills with a Dremel (don't have Dremel here).

I traced the gasket outline and have to get a ruler. I my ask a fabrication shop here if they can whip up a plate to fit. Plenty of these blanking or blocking plates yet none specific for LH-Jet 240.

I'll continue to look. Any pointers into the after market. Somewhere someplace one of the RWD Volvo performance fabricator like Kaplhenke Racing. Maybe not now.

Thank you.

Myself I would use a piece of aluminum sheet metal 1/16 inch thick and glue it with red Permatex, that will resist well the intake manifold heat. There is only a rather low vacuum in threre.

Of course I would re-use the thick flange after cutting the inlet pipe.

Just to clarify my idea.
