Yes I am referring to the pipe that goes from EGR to intake. On my car it has three clamp type retainers. One from exhaust to EGR inlet, one on EGR outlet and one on the intake inlet. Minemis 3.0 ecodiesel VM engine yes.

Okay parts ID'd as the gasket at https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/part...=Limited%204WD)

Won't agree to the fit as Yanks didn't have the VM back then in Grands, I would actually just go to an auto store or muffler shop they would sure have a gasket to fit, at the price in the US with postage it would be costly.... Just go with the size you need as it looks like a bog standard clamp gasket.

In the 2011 manual its called a Gasket, EGR tube and by the looks its nothing special so should be able to find a gasket to suit.... Its not at exhaust temps so a silicon type will suit fine and mould around any irregularities....

Interesting that the whole set up has changed in later models must have happened when VM Motori changed from GM to Fiat.........
