What Is an EGR Cooler?
An EGR cooler (Exhaust Gas Recirculation cooler) lowers the temperature of exhaust gases before they are routed back into the intake.
Cooling the exhaust helps reduce NOx emissions and improves combustion stability—especially on many modern diesel engines.
Over time, EGR coolers can clog with soot/carbon, leak coolant internally, or crack, triggering warning lights and drivability issues.
DPF issues, or a check engine light related to EGR flow/temperature.
How Much Does EGR Cooler Replacement Cost?
Pricing varies a lot by vehicle and access. A broad guide for EGR cooler replacement is often
$700–$2,500+ (parts + labour). Some vehicles require significant disassembly, and some coolers are integrated with
additional hardware (pipes, bypass valve, sensors).
- Vehicle make/model (many diesels & some European vehicles cost more)
- Cooler location (rear of engine / under intake manifold / tight bay access)
- Whether EGR valve, pipes, sensors, or gaskets also need replacement
- Coolant flush/refill and correct bleeding procedure
- Carbon/soot build-up requiring intake/EGR passage cleaning
We confirm the root cause before replacing parts.

To price accurately, tell us:
- Rego or make/model
- Engine type (diesel/petrol) + mileage
- Symptoms (coolant loss, smoke, limp mode, overheating)
- Any fault codes already scanned (if available)

EGR Cooler Replacement FAQs
Quick answers about symptoms, drivability, cost factors, and replacement process in Canberra.
What are the signs of a failing EGR cooler?
+
engine overheating, rough idle, reduced power/limp mode, and a check engine light related to EGR flow or temperature.
Some vehicles may also show DPF-related warnings if EGR flow becomes incorrect.
Can I keep driving with an EGR cooler problem?
+
A leaking EGR cooler can allow coolant into the intake/exhaust path and may lead to overheating or engine damage.
If the temperature rises or coolant level drops quickly, stop driving and arrange an inspection.
Is an EGR cooler the same as an EGR valve?
+
before it re-enters the intake. Some vehicles fail at the valve, others at the cooler, and sometimes both are affected by carbon build-up.
Diagnosis helps confirm which component is at fault.
What affects the cost of EGR cooler replacement?
+
and if related parts (EGR valve, gaskets, sensors, hoses) also need replacement. Coolant refill/bleeding and intake/EGR passage cleaning can also affect
labour time.
Do you need to replace gaskets and refill coolant during the job?
+
then refilled with the correct coolant and bled properly to remove air. After installation, we clear fault codes and road test to confirm correct temperatures
and drivability.
