Fantastic video, changed a few on the older DCI engines but not these, so valuable information here. Total legend, merry Christmas and happy new year to you.
I am hoping this video has struck gold for me. I've got a mercedes citan with the same k9k engine and it is running very rough at idle. I checked the same egr values after watching this first time round and they are showing 0 for the egr position and -3.99% for the reference. I am thinking I might have the same issue. I will take the egr valve out at the weekend and see, fingers crossed. Thank you and I hope you've helped me finally find the issue
Brill ..guess what pete cx5 gone picked up 1 of these with 73k on clock he had itv10 years . Done glow plugs and full engine service with a dpf mannol clean def better om thinkimg an egr clean next . Just feels like at times it struggkes then picks up . Map? Egr? Maf? Hmmm cheers
@kennedysgarage3281 hi mate yeah seems this is likely .I'm aware on boost they should close ..pending weather I'm.to get it out in the morning give it a thorough ciean . Bang a new luk clutch in after Xmas to..its OK but on heavy side with occasional judder (mostly when cold ) . Cheers pete I'll let u know hiw it fairs up
Funny Larry the way the desired position actually mimics what is happening once the fault is noticed. All makes sense but could catch a chap out. Happy new year 🎉🎉🍻🍻
I took my Renault 1.5 dci EGR out. Its the same one as in this video ( liquid cooled ) and I cleaned it up. It takes alot of pressure to open by hand and has to be pushed back in by hand too. Its not putting out any fault codes but, could this be a faulty unit? I see a slight drop in acceleration. I cleaned it up well and did a Renault Clip tool based EGR Adaptive, its improved it since but I still have a feeling its not performing as it should. Does the Valve return to closed position itself or it doesn't matter since the motor would close it on and off in run time?
@@thefastelephant94 this vehicle didn’t have any acceleration lag but that would be a symptom of a slightly sticking open egr valve. Exhaust gas have little or no oxygen causing incomplete combustion and power related issues
@@kennedysgarage3281 I have a peculiar issue and its really keeping me worried as the Renault Techs say its fine but I've shown them how the car runs great like new when the MAF is disconnected. I replaced with a Renault Genuine MAF as per my Chassis Number by Renault at their authorized workshop. Its still not fixed the acceleration lag issue. EGR is sqeaky cleaned a month back. The Valve, Intercooler, Runners etc. Any way to diagnose a sticky EGR? What are the parameters in live data that can help me here. If am correct, disconnecting the MAF also disables the EGR hence my doubts about the EGR.
@@thefastelephant94 correct, disconnecting the airflow sensor disables the egr system. In voltage terms you should have around (.5v to 1v) ignition on (around 2v) at idle. It should drop again snapped throttle, all tests when engine is hot 😉😉
Good Pals a main dealer renfault mechanic over thurles way Peter - we'd great old chats about the blocked ickle pipe up to the sensor that these all suffer.. We both hit on the "Use a cable to drill out the pipe-crap" solution about the same time everyone else did. Great minds/fools.. We also had great old chats about them EGRs. Blanked ta fock was both our "Verdicts". Egr is a load of old fumes.
I have had some hardship with cables, windscreen wire & just about anything else imaginable trying to clear steel pipes on exhaust systems 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ I found lately if you can get some head at the pipe and compressed air, that hard carbon melts and shoots out in a few lumps. I must make a video on it, sometimes the simplest things are well watched. Hopefully you’re enjoying a few beers over the Christmas mate, badly deserved 👍👍👍
Hi Peter happy new year ya , love the channel ,i have the same code same engine k9k in nissan j10 also got another code P2413, but my egr is electronic no water hose, took it off wasnt to bad dirt wise ,but it wasnt flush slightly open 5mm, just wondering how you bench test or would this be the home postion cheers 👍
Hi Clive, unfortunately if it is not seating fully it is most likely faulty & sticking open. As a general rule if you look at the electrical connection on the EGR valve you should see 3 pins close to each other & 2 pins separated. The 2 pins separated are generally for the electric motor that opens it. Do you have any experience on car repair or equipment, like a multimeter??
I have a standard obd2 reader but no multimeter experience, don't suppose you do nixers 🤣 do you think a new part would do the trick and will it self learn or need setting, cheers for replying 👍
@@cliveg9390 I would honestly say a new EGR valve would be the fastest and easiest fix. In my case I didn’t do any basic settings or relearns. So I don’t think you’d need to do it, just plug & play
@@kennedysgarage3281 My wife's swift 1.3 diesel year: 2009 75PS has got clogged (EGR valve) recently too after 186 000+ km run. We bought it brand new one and solely she were driving it in the last 15 years. Last 10 years only short drives always cold engine less than 1 km I guess could lead to it :) btw I cleaned the intake manifold too it was a nightmare like the valve. if we are there not too big work and customer could be more satisfied :)

Are the 2015 dCi engines reliable

@@thefastelephant94 these egr valves should close immediately, so I’d say it needs to be replaced 😉
Any egr delete kits for these that you know of? Have a 08 laguna, with the same 1.5dci as far as I know
@@gavinearls2935 unfortunately not, don’t ever delete as I don’t believe in it 👍👍

@kennedysgarage3281 The EGR makes 7 clicks when I turn the key off. No check engine light or anything.

Is it possible to remove the pipe without removing the coilover?
Yes, absolutely. The shock and spring was only removed for a different repair. It doesn’t need to be removed for egr replacement 😉🙏🙏

good work
Thank you Séamus, much appreciated 🙏🙏
Good guy nice one .
Straight forward fix but 1 or 2 interesting bits, thanks for watching mate 🙏🙏🙏
part cannon really? It was simple a clogged EGR valve with 5 min cleaning all were good again. Very bad habitual at the cost of customer budget :(
Ahhh. But why was it clogged ?
Cause & effect 🤔🤔

Looks like a diesel not being used properly and user should probably have a petrol engine car.
There don’t be many petrol cars being done lately. Although the newer ones are quite possibly as bad as the diesel’s 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Excellent 💯.. thanks
