Exhaust gas cooling module for a combustion engine

The module has a valve (10) comprising an actuator (28) for operating exhaust gas reconducting flaps (12, 14) arranged in a valve housing (2), where the valve controls exhaust gas return channels (16, 18). A waste-gas heat exchanger (6) is connected with the housing. A coolant channel (34) is formed in the housing and connected with a coolant channel (44) of the exchanger. A coolant inlet (46) and a coolant outlet (52) of the housing are fluidically connected with a coolant inlet (50) and a coolant outlet (56) of the exchanger over communicating passages (48, 54) i.e. straight tubes, respectively.
