Your instructions in the video was absolutely super helpful! I just completed my 2003 Civic oil leak problem. Just one small tip I would like to add. Because of the narrow space to work with, it is good idea to just use little bit of grease in side of the socket wrench. So the nut will stick with it to bring out or to put it in. Learned my lesson after dropping the nut inside and unable to find it. Thank you so much and appreciated.

You're welcome! So, the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve is there to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. It does this by recirculating exhaust gas back into the intake manifold to help lower combustion temperatures, which then lowers NOx emissions. If you plan on keeping the car for a long time, then I would replace the EGR valve as a preventative measure. I hope that this helps you.

@@Corysdiyauto hope your can get my hands on those. I need to order this. I guess if i keep an eye on my oil level i can keep driving, right? I live on Caribbean island so will take at least 10-14 days. Just had a look again. The left side of the cam head looks quite different then in the video. I have something pointing upwards on the leftside. I do think i see the plug. But the space is way more cramped then what i see in the video

The one in this video is a 1.7l. That's why it looks different than yours.

Hi, I have same problem with my 2003 civic 1.4 theres a leak but I keep checking the oil level and it is right on max level no change. Do you think it could be the same problem as in video.
@Corysdiyauto Жыл бұрын
It could be? It sounds like the leak isn't that bad, which is good. Look for signs of wetness around the area. Hopefully it's an easy fix for you.

I'm not sure if it does or not? I didn't know that the Honda Civic had a 1.4l engine in 2003.

I followed what you did and it stopped the link from the cam seal. Bit there seems to be another leak by the egr. What could it be? Not sure and ideas?

pmexplore - It could possibly be the VTEC solenoid gasket or maybe the valve cover gasket?

@@Corysdiyauto ah! Most likely solenoid. Because the valve cover gasket seems to be ok. Is the solenoid on the same on all engine for that generation?

@@pmexplore - Not exactly sure if they are all the same, but I would assume that they are. Just do a quick Google search for your specific car and I'm sure you'll find a lot of information on the subject. I think it's an easy fix to replace that seal.

Is it a 1/4" socket set as I got the parts and my socket set was too big even the extension bars were too fat
@Corysdiyauto Жыл бұрын
I used a 3/8" drive socket and ratchet. It worked for me, but I know that thicknesses vary depending on what brand you use. I used Craftsman sockets and extensions for this project.

It might be the same process for you. What year is yours? The non-VTEC models ('01-'03) don't have an EGR valve regardless of transmission type. I believe Honda started putting the EGR valve on every model starting in '04.
