what you want is a egr valve blank gasket this will eliminate the egr valve and cure the running problems that you are having this is what the dealers do when astras and corsas come in with these problems and they go out running fine and dont have the problem come back

is this an 8 valve engine, if so there is a problem on the ecu on this model, it can be resolved by a dealer uploading the latest software.
