Right mate I hope this might help.

First read the part about removing the ECU http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-How-...ge-F40-Box

then I've got some documents from TIS for you (These are in PDF format).

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Cooler Removal

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Cooler Disassemble This is more the one you want but the others won't hurt

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Cooler Cleaning and Inspection

If you do it can you please do a How-to for other members.
