Used egr valves vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Yes, the Mazda 626 was fitted with EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valves on certain engine variants, particularly the diesel and some petrol engines produced during emissions-controlled periods of its later generations. The GE (1992–1997) and GF/GW (1997–2002) generations both span eras where EGR fitment became increasingly common, especially on diesel-engined cars sold in the UK. If your 626 is a petrol model from the earlier part of this range, EGR fitment is less certain, so check your engine code before searching.
The GE and GF are distinct generations with different engine configurations, and the changeover in 1997 represents a meaningful engineering boundary, not just a facelift. Even where the same engine code carried across that boundary, ancillary emissions components like the EGR valve may differ in design or mounting. Name the generation boundary to your breaker and confirm fitment against both your registration and the donor vehicle's engine code before buying.
No, trim level does not affect EGR valve fitment on the 626 — the valve is determined by engine code and fuel type, not by whether your car is a GLX, Sport, or any other trim designation. Two 626s with identical engine codes will use the same EGR valve regardless of trim, though the broader emissions specification of the year of manufacture should also match. Focus your search on matching the engine code rather than the trim name.
Yes, fuel type is one of the most important factors — a diesel EGR valve and a petrol EGR valve are not interchangeable, and fitting the wrong type will not work correctly. The 626 was sold in the UK with both petrol and diesel engine options, so always confirm the fuel type and engine code of both your car and the donor vehicle the breaker is pulling the part from. Getting these two details right before you request a quote will save significant time.
Not necessarily, because EGR valve design changed across the 626's production life as emissions standards tightened during the 1990s and into the early 2000s. A valve from the wrong engine code or emissions era may physically fit but operate incorrectly or cause an MOT failure. Give your breaker your full registration and engine code so they can match the donor vehicle accurately, and avoid assuming visual similarity means compatibility.
