Hi, maybe a silly question but will ask anyway. I have the P0299 error on a petrol Astra 2016 1L turbo - do you know if it uses the same boost control valve as the diesel? e.g. part number 55509482. Thanks

Hows the leaf going

thats a bit like clocking the mileage

Im mechanic. 12 years i call some oke just fit clutch for me. He ask 150£. 😢

I've had a few issues with the dpf myself, been watching lots of videos etc (Steven B. Tuner did tests on diffrent chemicals on a cut up DPF which is worth a watch). So i also spoke to a tech at VW who told me before trying to clean it manually get the car upto temp and then get it on a Motorway, sit with the car revving at 2500-3000 for five to ten mins while cruising which will get the DPF hot. That will fix 80% of DPF clog issues assuming it's not got an underlying problem (Coolant temp sensor, Thermostat etc). A lot of the better fault code readers will give you a differental value across the DPF and a % it's blocked!! I'm not a fan of putting anything into an expencive DPF i can't wash out after, knowing caustic is heat reactive and it has a habit of soaking into the fiber heat insulation i'm not sure Mr Muscle is the best solution.

Inside the gear box now. The plastic flange holding in the clutch spring degraded to the point both the c clip and spring were not clamped down by. So the clutch part of the gears were not working at all. LR3s are the ultimate mountain-goat work trucks. And they force you to learn auto mechanics real quick. Amazing when they work. Their payload beats all other off-roaders. Payload is like 1500 lbs plus. And their clearances beat all other 6 foot off-road trucks. Drives awesome on the interstate too. Thanks again for your video. I'm putting it back just they way you had it with zip ties. Have a good evening.

Hi Sir, this may seem like a stupid question, but do the big, black plastic screw-on cable connectors to the epb module unscrew Lefty Loosy? Mine are on right and i just want to make sure I don't actually tighten them up more. Your video, I have followed religiously in getting the epb bracket off my super-rusty 2005 LR3 (18 years in Chicago, but now tearing it up in the mountains of Virginia. A monastery vehicle). It was really rough getting the bracket bolts out. But now it should be smooth sailing. Thank you very much for your video. It's so well thought out, and put back together for easier future maintenance. Sincerely, Aaron

Thanks for that. Ours was more blocked than yours.

where did you get the t4 software for the car diagnostic from

Excellent instuction and clear video. Have the confidenve now to take the job on. Thank you very much 😊

I bought GM55509482 and my Astra don't have problem with p0299 during long trip, greetings from Poland

May i ask did you get a new EGR cooler gasket for both ends if the cooler and were did you Get it if you did ?

If you bought it for 3k or less of course it’s worth it. That’s an EV. You get your money back by not having to buy gasoline, and doing oil change. This depends on your situation if your work is 20 miles away forget it lol, but it your work is like 5 miles or less you will never need gasoline again

I changed mine yesterday. Alot easier than in your video. I also replaced steering links and tie rods, control arms so I had more space than you have. Also 1.4t petrol engine leaves alot of space to unscrew the front screws that hold the bushing. In my car you can unscrew those from the engine bay, there s a lot of room. The back screws I only partially unscrewed just enough to free the bush bracket.

Just want to say a massive thank you. I managed to remove the egr valve and give it a good clean today which removed the engine warning light thanks to this video. Pretty chuffed with myself so thanks 👍🏻

What was knocking as got same problem on astra j can't find knocking any where hear it thanks

Fantastic video. Setting myself up for a change on my Evoque, looks as simple as I thought it was. 👌👍

I have this engine in my 2012 London mini so am going to change the pretensioner next month. hopefully this will help it somewhat.

just thinking what about the pierburg egr valve if that's playing up can that give you the code

I'm getting Electrical failure P0401 EGR System Flow Insufficient i did the egr still getting the err . but some times i get a spanner .

Excellent video, thanks for spreading it. How many time did you spend to replace it? It seems like was very difficult.

21 / 5 000 thinking about the same. good job !!!

Hello first of all thank you for the valuable information. To keep the system clean , after cleaning the both intake and EGR systems manually. I think you should use the LiquiMoly Intake manifold cleaner . It will prolong the service intervals. Use it each time you change the oil. What do you think ?

Nice one jack

I done this to them find out it was the shockie.iv since found out this is common on these astra j.

I had the same problem om my astra j and i would have sworn the noise was coming from under the passenger seat £800 later it was this very problem.

Hello, where is your workshop at?

Hi I also have P0401 present in the system, got EGR valve replaced but the error still there, Vauxhall says it could be EGR cooler which would cost me about £1600. Car drives fine though. I can’t afford this at the moment. Just wondering: 1. Will there be any impact on my engine or parts if I keep driving it , I only drive about 20miles every week atm? 2. Does Carbon clean helps? Or Is there any other way to clean the EGR cooler ? Thanks

Just buy new pickup. I do a sump drain plug modand buy new pickup regardless

Hit sump plug outwards so all oil can drain

Done this to my car. And couldn't get the nut back on, its like the spring is too long, the shaft just sucks back in, is that normal ? The parts places says i got the correct spring

We clean it in car (2019 Chevy Equinox 1.6 Diesel). **Do at your own risk** 1. Park Car on a slight angle where the back of the car is higher 2. Remove EGR tube to intake. Be careful not to loose the tube gasket at EGR cooler! 3. Cover throttle body intake hole so water/cleaner doesn't get in. 4. Using a 3/4" heater hose (about a foot and half long) "just" insert it into the EGR Cooler, where the tube was. 5. Using a funnel, fill the EGR cooler up with Purple Power (this is the only stuff that works for us). Worried about hydro-lock, it won't fill anywhere else because the EGR valve is closed. 6. Pinch the heater hose where it meets EGR cooler to burp the air out and add more. Let it soak, 2 hours or so. 7. Suck the filthy liquid out using a vacuum device. We use a marine oil change pump. Fill it back up with hot water, burp, briefly soak and remove liquid with vacuum device. The stuff that comes out is thick, that is why we didn't use a shop vac at this step. 8. Remove the heater hose/funnel from EGR cooler and place a pan underneath the car. Take a garden hose/sprayer and rinse out the EGR cooler with some pressure (be careful not to get water in the intake above) The less "black" liquid will drip into the pan underneath. Continue until water coming out of the cooler is slightly dirty. This may take a while depending how dirty it is. 9. **Very important** Using a vacuum device, shop vac, compressed air, etc. Suck out all the liquid in the EGR cooler where it is *dry*. 10. Connect the EGR tube and place the liquids in a container to take to the recycle depot. Tell them it was from a parts washer (degreaser, water and carbon) . **It may not be perfect, but it cleared our code and we now do this as a once a year routine maintenance.**

I would imagine the hardest thing to fix is a leaking cell . Or motor replacement. Other then that woukd seem easy to maintenance.

Wonder if it take more energy to charge a battery with half its life left 6 bars. Compared to a new battery. ?

Thank you for this video! Exactly what I was looking for. I am in the U.S. with a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze diesel 1.6 - which is a rare vehicle here in the states so there's not a lot of content related to it. Even the local Chevrolet dealer is confused by this cars existence, which is why I am servicing at home.

Great vid cheers mate might have a go myself

Thanks

So the oil pressure assists the spring. Why didn't Vauxhall put a higher power spring instead of relying on oil pressure.??

They must've rattled from new then, if their is a leak in the tensioner faces.

Where about are you in the UK? Would you be able to do this job for me on my 66 plate, and how much would it cost?

Not sure I'll be cleaning it with water or wd40 , maybe electric cleaner ?? But thanks for video !!

Thanks mate.. i did it last year but after 10.000km cooler is again clogged on my astra k? What is the solution clean it again?

Thanks Pro enjoy your day and youse a cleaner with the diesel

Very nice! 👌

Brilliant was waiting for this video.

Thank you so much. This is extremely helpful! And thank you for making this video so quickly. Very much appreciated.

See my video on how to remove these HERE:- ruclips.net/video/BjGEr2v-v7M/видео.html

Is the Astra H the same as this? I’m having 2nd thoughts about doing it myself if it is..
