Hi,
I have a question about a part under the hood of my 2007 Honda Fit Sport. I need to know what it is and what it does. The picture below is of the part in question with an arrow pointed to it. Thanks for your help everyone!

 

i may be wrong but it looks like a type of egr. it recirculates exhaust gases back into the cylinder to make up some of the mass air in cylinder. if you can post a pic with a little more detail on where it is and what is around it i can be sure. ive not seen the inside of a fit hood before so ill need to look around to familiarize myself

 

yup that would the the Electronic EGR.

 

Thanks for your help!

Has anyone ever replaced this part? How easy is it to replace?

 

very simple to replace, usually held on by two bolts. There should be a gasket underneath it, replace this when you replace EGR valve.

 

Why does it need replacing? Is it not under warranty? Are you sure that valve is the problem?

 

this would take you about ten minutes to change but if there is a warranty, take it in so you dont void it.

 

Your warranty would not be void if you did the work yourself. Why do you think it is bad? If you don't even know what it is how could you have possibly diagnosed it correctly?

 

no the warranty would not be viod if they worked on it but if they dont know what it is then i am assuming they dont know this vehicle well and they might accidently make a mistake that would void it
