ur management light is coming on because the egr valve isnt working. if you disconnect it the ecu will just think its completely f**k and wont help your problem.

Do you have to disconnect the fuel lines on a X16XE Corsa in the guides it tells you too but can you not get to it otherwise?

you could do, the act of removing the EGR will depressurize the fuel system aswell.

but doing it from a fuel pipe gives you the chance to prepare and catch any spraying fuel!
