A used egr valve that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
Yes, the Nissan Primera was fitted with EGR valves on its diesel engine variants, specifically the 2.2 dCi diesel engine found in the P12 generation (2002–2007). The earlier P10 (1990–1996) and P11 (1996–2002) generations were predominantly petrol in the UK market and are far less likely to have carried EGR systems, so if you own one of those earlier cars, check your engine code before searching. If you have a petrol Primera, the EGR valve is unlikely to be present or relevant to your vehicle.
Both years fall within the P12 generation (2002–2007), so the key thing to confirm is that the engine codes match — the 2.2 dCi is the relevant diesel unit here. If the engine code is the same across both cars, there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but confirm this with the breaker against your exact registration before ordering. Generation boundaries are a useful starting point, but exact part numbers can vary even within a generation run.
No, trim level makes no difference to EGR valve fitment on the Nissan Primera — S, SE, and SVE are interior and equipment grades, not different engines. What matters is the engine code and fuel type, so a 2.2 dCi EGR valve from an SE is the same unit as one from an SVE of the same year. Focus your search on matching the engine code rather than the trim badge.
The P11 (1996–2002) and P12 (2002–2007) are separate generations with different engines and ancillary components, so an EGR valve from a P11 is very unlikely to cross over to a P12. The P12 2.2 dCi is a different engine to anything in the P11 lineup, and the EGR system will differ accordingly. Confirm any cross-generation fitment directly with the breaker against both registrations — do not assume compatibility across this boundary.
Yes, it is worth clarifying before you buy, because the engine code is the primary fitment check for an EGR valve and a mismatched unit may not physically connect or may cause running and emissions faults. Ask the breaker to check the engine code on the donor car, or at least confirm the exact registration so you can cross-reference it yourself. Fitting an incorrect EGR valve could also cause issues at MOT, so it is worth taking the time to verify.
The 2.2 dCi engine was shared across several Nissan models of the same era, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility between models using the same engine code, but this is exactly the kind of cross-model interchange you need to confirm with the breaker against your specific registration. Ancillary fittings and bracket positions can differ even when the core engine is shared. Route this to the breaker with both donor and recipient registrations to hand before purchasing.
