Mr Fix - thanks for the video, was very helpful. For Citroen C8 (and most likely the Peugeot 807, Fiat Ulysse and Lancia Phedra) here are a few tips: The entire operation is far easier if you remove the induction pipe from the filter box running to the turbocharger inlet, simply remove the blanked loom lead from above the EGR lead, loosen the jubilee clip at the air box, disconnect the breather as shown in the video and remove the single screw at the turbo inlet manifold, with a bit of wiggling it will lift right out. When removing the EGR screws you will have better luck from below if the rear screws are tight. Once the induction pipe is removed you get fairly clear access to the EGR and you will see the two rear screws (8mm head), the lower EGR cooler screw (10mm head) and single hex head screw on the bottom (4 or 5mm, think it was 5). Remove the bottom and cooler screws and loosen the rear screws enough you can easily undo them from the top of the block (mine were quite tight and too stiff to easily undo from the top, others may be luckier). When reassembling you will have to have the EGR fairly tight onto the cooler before the bottom screw will locate, just keep tightening until it goes in. Finally, I replaced my EGR with a Delphi EG10396-12B1, this was a like for like part and required NO reprogramming, just a simple reset with a basic diagnostics machine.
I just found this tutorial as I have problems with the EGR on my Citroen C5 and I have to say i'țs a pig of a job..yesterday I had a go but it was going late and I had to abandon as I did not locate the 3rd hex screw from below the EGR. I used a mirror to see what I was doing but as per your advice I will remove the engine shield and try some maneuvers from below
This is a batch of a job on a Ford C max, done twice, now it's simplified, blanked it off. Runs better no smoke. Just remove blank for mot test and refit after she passes. Takes 30 minutes either way.
Thank you for the video. It helped me a lot to get to the glow plugs of our Focus 2.0 TDCI convertible. First I had to remove the EGR and the EGR cooler as you showed.
good morning. First of all congratulate you for your videos. I have a volvo s 40 2.0.d 136 hp has no particulate filter. What happens to me is that it does not start and it turns on and it turns off light heaters, I have disassembled and cleaned EGR everything is well, diesel battery. The console says P0490 control A high exhaust gas recirculation. Excessively high RGE control signal. many thanks.
greeting. One question? Where does the dirty air from the engine go if it is closed with a plate at the engine entrance? I'm asking because that dirty air entered through the refrigerator and through the egr itself and came into the hose to the plate. To me, it makes sense that it should be closed before the egr cooler and at the very exit of the egr. What not
Very good instructional video! Well edited. It is this kind we like to see on YT! Although 1 thing: you should have mentioned to remove the coolant first :-). With me, it was not that dry as in your video...
you better pray god you don't have the 3 bolt egr valve. It's a nightmare to get to the torx screw underneath the valve. You can't see anything, and there is fuck all room to even put your hands in there. I was stuck on this step for several hours. Mine is a 2005 407 hdi 2.0
We I did it, but at the cost of very, VERY long time on C5 X7 2.0, removed some braket with rubber hoses from the firewall, pushed it to the right side, the last boltboss was a T30, buy 2 or 3 of short L shape torxes, I lost one - RIP.
On my Citroen C5 2.0HDI, when i was changing the EGR valve it fallen down and after like 5-6 months we removed the full engine because of a hole in the block of the engine and it was still staying on the engine but not ot it's place.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Any idea where the 3rd bolt from the egr is located as I’m having trouble finding it. Did feel something under it but can’t get a wrench on it.
@@davidb3541Thanks for the help! Had bo idea I was supposed to be looking for allen bolt (As none of the others weren't) and would have been pretty annoying finding correct size considering the struggle it was to get even the correct one snug on the head. What an insanely annoying bolt that is...
This video was helpfull to an extent....socket sizes would have been helpfull. Also the last pig of a bolt, that I was informed is an Allen key type fitment, next to the black plastic casing the points upwards, is the last bolt. I watched this video 3 times before attempting to do it on my kuga which is an identical engine. 5 hours later I still couldn't get the egr off.
TDCI and HDI are just brand names. Ford is using TDCI name for all of their turbo diesel common-rail engines. Doesn't matter if it's old, new or shared design. Same for HDI, TDI...
Hi! Its very helpful your vedio. Just one thing i could not remove the egr becuase of the 3rd bolt. Could anyone advice how to remove the 3rd one bolt thank you very much
Hi I have a Ford kuga mk1 2.0 tdci I have a egr valve that’s not working properly and I have a new-replacement valve do you know if the valve need’s reprogramming or is it a straight swap over and works
can anyone explain in simple terms the principle of having the two air pipes going into the intake manifold on these engines. there is a vacuum actuated butterfly flap on each pipe inside the the plastic tee piece and ive noticed the right hand one on my car is knackered, the little plastic rack&pinion mechanism is all mashed. i believe this is quite common .
@@mrfixpl thankyou - i have just picked up a old tdci for cheap but has zero boost . ive found a burst intercooler pipe and broken butterfly vane so far which hopefully will fix it. Going to clean the egr system too. your videos are very helpful.
Beetween egr cooler pipe and exhaust manifold is any gasket? I just cleaned my egr and now i have fumes in cabin, gasket beetween egr and egr cooler is brand new, beetween egr and inlet manifold is just an oring on inlet side wich is fine. It is possible to leak on exhaust manifold side?
Hi mr fix please i need your help my car is ford focus mk2 2.0 tdci 2009 not everytime but twice in week when i shut off the engine and i try to start the engine AGAIN the car wont start unless i move the intake manifold pipe from throttle body and just lift up the butterfly just 10mm with finger and the car start AGAIN DO YOU KNOW THE REASON PLS ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED.
Hi, I have volvo s40 2.0d When I remove pipe on the cooler(that one that you suggest to remove, to get to the bottom bolt that holds egr and cooler together) some fluid fell down. Anyone pls help WHAT was that. Is that was cooler fluid?
Hi I have a Peugeot 807 2.2 HDI starting to suffer from power loss one minute its fine the next there's no power and struggling to move people have told me it is possibly the EGR sensor where abouts is it located and if so would I be able to do it myself or is it a garage job thank you
i have ford mondeo with the same engine, but the trouble is my egr there's a bolt underneath and i'm finding very difficult to undo this bolt, also on the silver pipe there's no gasket on the egr side is this right?
Hi, excellent and very informative video!I have a question about the engine breather.Is there is any chances to remove that round cap?Assume there is a rubber membrane which need to be cleaned from time to time?Im trying to find information about the sump ventilation.If I'm not mistaken, sump gases goes up through the oil filler,then through the rubber hose connected to cranckshaft case and then exists on the left side of the cranckshaft case??
I don't have that car anymore but if i remember correctly you need to remove whole intake manifold to access the oil separator. Round cap should be detachable but I've never opened it.
mr-fix Thanks for responding.Yes,there is no chance to access oil separator without taking all manifold off but as it turned out, that round cup is detachable an you can access the valve.I did open it today)On some vw models that cap is sealed. I have annoying periodical short vibration(on idle)on the car body( not on steering wheel, pedals or gear lever) and I cannot find the source. (Manual 6sp,)Some people saying that this is tipical for this engine. But from time to time during the day engine work just perfect and I cannot understand what is the reason. Egr is cleaned, engine mounts seems to be ok,all filters are new,sponges in both brown valves are cleaned, good fuel,no air in fuel line no codes.Would you have any ideas?Many thanks
One of the things that you can check is the high pressure fuel valve. It can get clogged with aluminum form the fuel pump which can make cause improper work of it.
mr-fix Hmmmm..Very good idea!I definitely will check that valve because when I changed fuel filter there was some very small metal particles on the bottom of the filter holder.Can I unscrew that valve or I will have an issue with the air in the fuel line later?
you might have some issues with air but if you first open your tank for a minute (to remove vacuum) and put clamps on the fuel lines in the engine bay, you can minimize that issue. Valve itself is held by two torx screws. Easy accessible.
I have this engine and I was getting very poor mpg (28mpg)... I disconnected the egr valve wire, and the mpg went to 60mpg and the car was more powerful.... but after 1 hour, the car mpg went down again... so I know there is a problem with my egr valve....
Hi I have ford focus mk2 2.0 tdci 100kw do you or anyone else know the reason except the thermostat why these engines sometimes don’t get warm enough? Thanks
Hi Mr Fix. Great video. I just bought a Citroen C4 Picasso and it needs a new turbine, any video showing how to remove the turbo without removing the engine? Regards.
I had a look and it looks like the space is very narrow , i tried to remove the egr but unfortunately the engine is more in the back of the bay. I will take a picture and send it to you, have you got an email that I can send pictures?
Hey mate, I know it's a little late but if you've tuned the car to block the egr then your EGR will never open meaning cleaning will be pretty much useless. You can even go 1 step further and remove the whole system entirely (woohoo 50g weight saving)
Not likely. But please if your variable geometry turbine veins are moving freely. If the VGT is stuck or is not moving as it should it could cause overboost problems. Also intake pressure sensor, VGT position sensor, vacuum valve that controls turbine.
My 2010 french ford fusion (84000 kms) seemed to be making tapping noises a few weeks ago. I brought it to the dealer so the mechanic could listen to it. He did hear the noise but told me it was probably some plastic piece that was loose and not to worry about it. I took his advice, but now I have a diesel fuel smell when I turn off the engine. I've looked but there is no evidence of leaking fuel. Went back to see the mechanic but he's on vacation and the manager told me to change the fuel filter, (which I have never done). So I've watched some videos and came across one with some guy changing his EGR valve at 110,000 kms. He spoke of the the valve making a clicking noise....so of course I'm wondering if this is the cause of my problem?
EGR valve is responsible only for the exhaust gases recirculation. It has nothing to do directly with fuel. About the fuel smell - take off plastic engine cover and check if there's not fuel near the injectors. Sometimes one of the fuel return lines leaks.
Well, I changed the fuel filter, with the idea that I might see something behind it. I did see some clear fluid leaking, but strangely, not diesel fuel. (no smell) I originally thought it to be engine oil, but it's clear. Anyway, I brought the car to a garage and the mechanic said the same thing as you -fuel return line. But he also said, as I can see, that it is buried underneath all sorts of crap. A 2 day job for him.
Ive been having soot filter messages volvo garage tested dpf pressure sensor and was fine but readings were spiky and all over the place. My local garage replcaed dpf egr and dpf pressure pipes and after 2 days soot filter full messages reappear and same p2463 error code logged. Garage said will reset values and run a regen, is this normal as id have thought new parts would not show error codes or will it clear eventually im not trusting that the issue will go away. Any thoughts
Hi I have 2.0 hdi Peugeot sw 307 can I get to my egr valve without dropping the front of the engine as this worries me a little? Great video by the way
Hey man! I really like your videos! But I have one problem following this one: when i unscrew all of 4 screws holding EGR valve, it won't move. Could it be so clogged up it won't fall apart ? Thank you for answer!
@@mrfixpl szkoda a to mam pytanie do Pana,chce ja wymienic sam i czy wystarczy mi tylko ta czarna uszczelka czy tj jest potrzebny zestaw naprawczy,nie bardzo moge znalesc w internecie co jest mi potrzebne do jej wymiany,dziekuje bardzo za chceci i korzystam z Pana filmików sa super!
Hey Mr-Fix great video and appriciated your work.and thanx on the behalf of all Ford,volvo,peugeot,Renault owners 😊.. So my question is,i tried to remove my egr today,remove all the bolts as you did in video,but still enable to get egr out of the car..it i felt like have some one another bold at the downside,but i heavnt found that and then again fitted the bolts...can you please explain or make a foto from the bolt if possible?? Or my egr was tight becoz it heavnt removed before???
EGR cooler is the highest part of the cooling system. When you disconnect the cooler you will loose some coolant, but you don't have to drain the system.
Many thanks pal for making this video. I need som help on how to install a blow off valve on Ford c-max 2004 2.0TDCI ,having some issues on how to find where it goes 🤔🤔. I would aprishiate if you could get back to me Thanks
Thank you Mr Fix for this very informative video. I have a Ford s max 2011 2.0tdci engine 163hp. Any chance I can bring my car down to you to have my egr valve and egr cooler cleaned. My car has done 150000 miles and I wish to keep it until it runs no further and therefore I would really like to clean the egr valve and egr cooler so it functions as it should. I could give it a go, all thanks to you showing how it's done in your video but I would prefer to have it done by someone like you who knows what they are doing. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks
@@mrfixpl Many thanks for your prompt reply. I understand you are not running a repair shop however I can you pay you to have my egr valve and egr cooler cleaned at your convenience. If not I understand however many thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. Adam
yeah...it's nasty. you can get it from underneath - but you need like 3 socket extensions to reach it. Original bolt is an allen key (5mm or 6?) . But i changed it to a ordinary hex bolt..now i can reach it from upside with a small 10mm spanner (might have to grind the edges to make it narrower) - it's in the same line as the rightest upper screw. Eitherway - it's difficult.
If EGR is working correctly, then there will be no power gain after EGR-delete. Please notice that with EGR permanently closed the EGR cooler will stay cold (engine will warm up slower and cold engine = higher fuel consumption) and EGR is a part of the turbo system - EGR performs partially as as waste-gate.
This is right. BUT. The efficiency for engine to be warm faster with EGR or without ir just 5% faster, so why do YOU need that CANCER in car? Just delete EGR from ECU software, disconect EGR PLUG and go on on on... EGR is like waste gate? You change it by removing properly in ECU program. Without EGR engine runs much better, no LAG on first second when You press throttle pedal. I will not talk abaout the JUNK in engine with EGR. EGR = DISSASTER. Just for GREENPEACE.
Hi Laimonas, I couldn't agree more. I deleted the egr from my jaguar x type 2.0 turbo diesel and the improvement on economy and performance was fantastic. EGR amd DPF are 2 crap things that the cars have.
No signs, you car just stops responding to acceleration. In general it gets clogged around 100.000 kms. Mine did without warning, just lost power on the highway.
Yeah, on the other hand if you want a car that is safe and compact you need to place some parts in inconvenient places to save crash zones... Same goes for the pollen filter in this car. If it was easy accessible, passenger cabin had to be shorter.
pollen filter ... holly shit... how much i was swearing that day while changing fu*king filter on Focus Mk2,5. Taking the fu*king gas pedal to change pollen filter and even then it's still not easy to put new one ! Fuuuu#$"#"E"%" :/
може цей де..л щось і каже, на рахунок болта внизу під клапаном, але я на відео цього не побачив. Прогемороївся часа два, поки не розгледів. В мене щей болт був під шестиграник (якійсь довбень поставив мабуть), а я подумав, що зірвані грані і обломив кріплення. можливо його потрібно тільки віджати і посунути клапан всторону лобового,але це не точно, бо кріплення своє зламав. А цей при..рок, що на відео, щоб все життя крутив жигули!!!
I would appreciate a more constructive comment these videos take time and effort to create. If you don’t like it Move on or go and create something better yourself.
Mr Fix - thanks for the video, was very helpful.
For Citroen C8 (and most likely the Peugeot 807, Fiat Ulysse and Lancia Phedra) here are a few tips:
The entire operation is far easier if you remove the induction pipe from the filter box running to the turbocharger inlet, simply remove the blanked loom lead from above the EGR lead, loosen the jubilee clip at the air box, disconnect the breather as shown in the video and remove the single screw at the turbo inlet manifold, with a bit of wiggling it will lift right out.
When removing the EGR screws you will have better luck from below if the rear screws are tight. Once the induction pipe is removed you get fairly clear access to the EGR and you will see the two rear screws (8mm head), the lower EGR cooler screw (10mm head) and single hex head screw on the bottom (4 or 5mm, think it was 5). Remove the bottom and cooler screws and loosen the rear screws enough you can easily undo them from the top of the block (mine were quite tight and too stiff to easily undo from the top, others may be luckier).
When reassembling you will have to have the EGR fairly tight onto the cooler before the bottom screw will locate, just keep tightening until it goes in.
Finally, I replaced my EGR with a Delphi EG10396-12B1, this was a like for like part and required NO reprogramming, just a simple reset with a basic diagnostics machine.
I just found this tutorial as I have problems with the EGR on my Citroen C5 and I have to say i'țs a pig of a job..yesterday I had a go but it was going late and I had to abandon as I did not locate the 3rd hex screw from below the EGR.

Would a blocked egr value make the top intercooler cooler pipping expand it a 2.0l

leaking injector, hole in intake system (boost leak).
Possibly but more likely a faulty injector.
I have a ford s max 58 plate some times it starts first turn off the key and some times it takes about 4 turns any help
To check: glow plugs (assuming it's diesel), fuel filter, fuel line air leaks, coolant temperature sensor, battery.

I want to disable my EGR by software. This is possible. Do I need first clean the EGR before disable it for best result or not?
Hey mate, I know it's a little late but if you've tuned the car to block the egr then your EGR will never open meaning cleaning will be pretty much useless. You can even go 1 step further and remove the whole system entirely (woohoo 50g weight saving)
HI I have this engine in my ford Mondeo could this cause my turbo to overboost and put car into limp mode when accelerating
Not likely. But please if your variable geometry turbine veins are moving freely. If the VGT is stuck or is not moving as it should it could cause overboost problems. Also intake pressure sensor, VGT position sensor, vacuum valve that controls turbine.
My 2010 french ford fusion (84000 kms) seemed to be making tapping noises a few weeks ago. I brought it to the dealer so the mechanic could listen to it. He did hear the noise but told me it was probably some plastic piece that was loose and not to worry about it. I took his advice, but now I have a diesel fuel smell when I turn off the engine. I've looked but there is no evidence of leaking fuel. Went back to see the mechanic but he's on vacation and the manager told me to change the fuel filter, (which I have never done). So I've watched some videos and came across one with some guy changing his EGR valve at 110,000 kms. He spoke of the the valve making a clicking noise....so of course I'm wondering if this is the cause of my problem?
EGR valve is responsible only for the exhaust gases recirculation. It has nothing to do directly with fuel.
About the fuel smell - take off plastic engine cover and check if there's not fuel near the injectors. Sometimes one of the fuel return lines leaks.
Thanks I will check that out
Well, I changed the fuel filter, with the idea that I might see something behind it. I did see some clear fluid leaking, but strangely, not diesel fuel. (no smell) I originally thought it to be engine oil, but it's clear. Anyway, I brought the car to a garage and the mechanic said the same thing as you -fuel return line. But he also said, as I can see, that it is buried underneath all sorts of crap. A 2 day job for him.
Ive been having soot filter messages volvo garage tested dpf pressure sensor and was fine but readings were spiky and all over the place. My local garage replcaed dpf egr and dpf pressure pipes and after 2 days soot filter full messages reappear and same p2463 error code logged. Garage said will reset values and run a regen, is this normal as id have thought new parts would not show error codes or will it clear eventually im not trusting that the issue will go away. Any thoughts
Are you sure they replaced DPF? Maybe just the EGR valve.
@@mrfixpl yes all changed i have the original volvo one off it
If new DPF is full after 2 days, then there's something wrong with the engine. Leaking injector, oil leak from turbo...
@@mrfixpl booked in to reset values lets see and report back no other error codes
Let me know how it goes.
Hi I have 2.0 hdi Peugeot sw 307 can I get to my egr valve without dropping the front of the engine as this worries me a little? Great video by the way
Sorry, but I have no experience yet with 307 and 2.0HDi.
Not on my MK4. I have 2013 with auto box. No metal pipe on my engine.
Hey man! I really like your videos!
But I have one problem following this one:
when i unscrew all of 4 screws holding EGR valve, it won't move.
Could it be so clogged up it won't fall apart ?
Thank you for answer!
I have this issue too! Did you ever work out why?
@@SamzWorldOfGaming there's another Allen bolt holding it on underneath. I just gave up and left mine on..blanked it and had it deleted from the ecu.
Same problem as i have encounter. I could not remove the bolt attach under the egr

Hey Mr-Fix great video and appriciated your work.and thanx on the behalf of all Ford,volvo,peugeot,Renault owners 😊..
So my question is,i tried to remove my egr today,remove all the bolts as you did in video,but still enable to get egr out of the car..it i felt like have some one another bold at the downside,but i heavnt found that and then again fitted the bolts...can you please explain or make a foto from the bolt if possible?? Or my egr was tight becoz it heavnt removed before???
5 mm allen (hex) head screw down bellow black plastic side of the EGR
@@danielrusu2090 thanks for the answer ,i deal with same problem here, couldn't find the third bolt , manny thanks !
what's is size of rubber 0 ring on silver pipe ?
Cum se curățării egr la ford mondeo 2.0tdci mk4?
There's a lot of different 2.0TDCi engines. 110PS, 115PS, 130PS, 136PS, 140PS, 163PS...
Do you know where the glow plug relay is on this engine?
In Volvo it's somewhere behind the front bumper.
do I have to drain the coolant for when i remove the coolant hose?
EGR cooler is the highest part of the cooling system. When you disconnect the cooler you will loose some coolant, but you don't have to drain the system.
mr-fix ok thank you
Honestly, I would have removed the plastic trim beneath the windshield. would make it so much accessible.
Many thanks pal for making this video.
I need som help on how to install a blow off valve on Ford c-max 2004 2.0TDCI ,having some issues on how to find where it goes 🤔🤔.
I would aprishiate if you could get back to me
Thanks
Do you might if I ask why you want to install blow off valve in diesel engine?
Shore you can ask pal.
It's mostly just coz of the sound it makes .
would you recommend to delete egr valve on c30 2.0d?
Masz gdzieś po polsku? 😅

does anybody know if this will help my not starting problem when hot
BIG THANKS MAN :)
good job
Thank you Mr Fix for this very informative video. I have a Ford s max 2011 2.0tdci engine 163hp.
Any chance I can bring my car down to you to have my egr valve and egr cooler cleaned.
My car has done 150000 miles and I wish to keep it until it runs no further and therefore I would really like to clean the egr valve and egr cooler so it functions as it should.
I could give it a go, all thanks to you showing how it's done in your video but I would prefer to have it done by someone like you who knows what they are doing.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks
I'm not running repair shop. Sorry.
@@mrfixpl
Many thanks for your prompt reply. I understand you are not running a repair shop however I can you pay you to have my egr valve and egr cooler cleaned at your convenience. If not I understand however many thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.

My Egr has a 3rd bolt at bottom. Does anyone know how to get to it?
yeah...it's nasty. you can get it from underneath - but you need like 3 socket extensions to reach it. Original bolt is an allen key (5mm or 6?) . But i changed it to a ordinary hex bolt..now i can reach it from upside with a small 10mm spanner (might have to grind the edges to make it narrower) - it's in the same line as the rightest upper screw. Eitherway - it's difficult.
What's that pipe called?
It’s the EGR cooler
@@mrfixpl thank you! Mines got a big dent in.. would this effect the running or restrict air flow?
Is it possible to delete the egr System will it run without it properly is it more economical with out it and perform better power wise
If EGR is working correctly, then there will be no power gain after EGR-delete.
Please notice that with EGR permanently closed the EGR cooler will stay cold (engine will warm up slower and cold engine = higher fuel consumption) and EGR is a part of the turbo system - EGR performs partially as as waste-gate.
This is right. BUT. The efficiency for engine to be warm faster with EGR or without ir just 5% faster, so why do YOU need that CANCER in car? Just delete EGR from ECU software, disconect EGR PLUG and go on on on... EGR is like waste gate? You change it by removing properly in ECU program. Without EGR engine runs much better, no LAG on first second when You press throttle pedal. I will not talk abaout the JUNK in engine with EGR. EGR = DISSASTER. Just for GREENPEACE.
Hi Laimonas, I couldn't agree more. I deleted the egr from my jaguar x type 2.0 turbo diesel and the improvement on economy and performance was fantastic. EGR amd DPF are 2 crap things that the cars have.
What ECU software and cables you use to do it? Please help.
Also volvo D4
it's more easy in vw engines
That's why I made this tutorial.
Thank brother
Citroen c5 egr valve symptom and causes
this is my last Ford. never 2 buy again , I changed also the Air condition Air filter with such problems
Hello Guys. Plz anybody coule gimme the name of the track plzzzzz !!!
WOW Volvo with citroen engine, lol, i knew that is some mercedes with renault engines, but this?
Not only that. Ford owned Volvo in that time, so it’s made mostly from Ford Focus Mk2 parts and assembled in Belgium.
What are the signs of valve contamination?
No signs, you car just stops responding to acceleration. In general it gets clogged around 100.000 kms. Mine did without warning, just lost power on the highway.
Think you’re mixing egr up with anti shudder valve when you’re talking about turning engine off and slowing down turbo
No, he is not, in this engine egr valve is taking the role of the valve about which you are talking. He is 100% right.
Only properly way of cleaning EGR valve & cooler, these sprays do not work 👍
all i herd was remove remove remove.
they sure make these parts almost impossible to remove or need some type of engineering degree.
Yeah, on the other hand if you want a car that is safe and compact you need to place some parts in inconvenient places to save crash zones... Same goes for the pollen filter in this car. If it was easy accessible, passenger cabin had to be shorter.
pollen filter ... holly shit... how much i was swearing that day while changing fu*king filter on Focus Mk2,5. Taking the fu*king gas pedal to change pollen filter and even then it's still not easy to put new one ! Fuuuu#$"#"E"%" :/
може цей де..л щось і каже, на рахунок болта внизу під клапаном, але я на відео цього не побачив. Прогемороївся часа два, поки не розгледів. В мене щей болт був під шестиграник (якійсь довбень поставив мабуть), а я подумав, що зірвані грані і обломив кріплення. можливо його потрібно тільки віджати і посунути клапан всторону лобового,але це не точно, бо кріплення своє зламав. А цей при..рок, що на відео, щоб все життя крутив жигули!!!
not citroen c5
Нихуя не понял, но очень интересно. 🤔
