Any difference between the two? They look exactly the same. I need the EGR actuator but seem to only be able to find the one for the intake.

Finally talked to someone in the know. They are both the same and interchangeable. Removal is by twisting the body after you have detached the plastic arm. Be careful though as they are somewhat fragile and can break at the mount tabs like mine did. Also use a small screwdriver to open up the end of the plastic arm slightly before pressing onto the metal tip.
Might be wise to remove while you do what ever work to the cooler or intake so you keep from accidentally breaking it.

I recently used one from an ALH anti shudder valve on a BEW EGR. It looked the same and it was all I had here.
