Too Afraid to Ask

EGR is a part of the car that helps reduce pollution. It takes some of the exhaust gases and sends them back into the engine to burn again, which helps lower harmful emissions.

Technical Definition

EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation. It's a system that reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by recirculating a portion of the engine's exhaust back into the intake manifold.
