This initial range covers popular GM models in the Astra, Corsa, Combo, Meriva, Tigra TwinTop, Vectra and Zafira range, as well as 2.2, 2.4 and 3.2 TDCI variants in the Ford Transit range.

First Line advises technicians to be aware that the engine management software may need to be updated once the replacement EGR valve has been installed on the vehicle. It therefore recommends they consult the vehicle manufacturer’s technical service information for full details.
