    Thank you Andy from The Garage
    Did mine today, about three hours all in. The 12mm nuts on the exhaust manifold link were solid so lots of wire brush and plus gas.
    Rest was clockwork as per video.
    Clamped radiator hoses so as not to lose too much coolant.
    Didn't adapt new one, just removed fault codes with ELM 327 and Torque app.
    So far so good.

    Thanks for putting this video up. Just replaced my EGR following your guide. Some great tips in there. My local VW van centre quoted 3 hours labour which would have been £300! I did it quicker with zero experience! If I were closer to you, I'd certainly use you for service work. All I can say is thank you.

  • @finleyandtom

    Thank you so much for this video, instruction to remove and replace were spot on. Made the job so much easier. P0401 error - egr insufficient flow. Both sides of the EGR cooler were completely blocked. I soaked it in cheap cellulose thinners (gun wash) the baked on carbon turned to a sludge that was really easy to remove with a length of thick welding wire. Cleaned the inside of the EGR valve with a tooth brush and carb cleaner. Messiest job I have ever done !! Back on now a, revs cleanly, goes like stink and no more error code. £20 worth of cleaning stuff a load off rubber gloves and and afternoons work has just saved me £300 :-)

      Philip Smith followed this guide and your tip about the thinners works a treat, let it soak for 20mins and used a bike spoke with a slight bend on the end, (don't tell my daughter, her bikes missing a spoke now🤣) in a drill soon cleaned through the holes, bit of carb cleaner to finish, job done

    Thanks very much for taking the time to explain. I replaced mine a couple of days ago and it was, for the most part, painless. For anyone else who has not tried this yet I would add-
    1 - clamp off the hoses to prevent coolant loss.
    2 - get new gaskets (all around) and nuts ( the back pipe where it fits to the manifold ). The Valeo EGR only came with 1 gasket, I needed 3.
    3 - remove the angled pipe off the difficult hose once the valve is out rather than just changing over the O ring.

    I have a fault code p245700 EGR cooler below efficiency threshold on a 2016 t6 2.0tdi 150ps - also have a faulty EGR temps sensor a fault code - are they linked? Should I be replacing the EGR cooler? Or even the whole EGR?

  • @poden3863
    @poden3863 5 лет назад +1

    Is there a test for faulty EGR valve ? Can you pressure test just the Valve? My T5 is using coolant and overheating. The head gasket chemical test passes for coolant dissolved gasses. But an LPG test was also performed and dissolved LPG was found in the coolant. Also no signs of bubbling in the overflow, and no foaming in the oil. So is no. 1 suspect EGR?

  • @grahameharle114
    @grahameharle114 2 года назад

    Hi I'm thinking of cleaning rather than replacing, but the gasket between the Cooler section and the main valve body isnt part of any set of gaskets that I can find. Even tried my local motor factors. Can you usually re-use the existing or can they be obtained?

    Tools required:
    Long T30 torx bit as shown (absolute minimum length of the thin bit 60mm)
    T20 torx bit
    M10 spline bit (male)
    12 mm socket
    8 mm socket
    flat bladed screwdriver
    2x hose clamping tools
    hose clip tool (or large pliers)
    3/4" drive ratchet, medium extension and wobble bar/elbow plus any 1/4" drive tools for easy access
    Parts:
    Valeo EGR valve from Autodoc cost me £200 including delivery (comes with a couple of gaskets)
    About 500ml of coolant depending on where you clamp the hoses and how much you lose.
    Penetrating oil (WD40 plus gas etc, I used ACF50 as it was all I had knocking about)
    Procedure:
    As video, except:
    If your 12mm nuts are very rusted on, you can still remove that copper pipe from the EGR side, you need the M10 spline bit and a wobble bar, small/medium extension and a small ratchet. The bolts are 90 degrees to the T30 mounting bolts that you need to locate anyway. Once the EGR is out you have more room to work on the 12m fastenings. With oil and steady pressure mine came off fine and I was able to clean them for reassembly. You don't get the gasket for this connection with the Valeo EGR valve though, as you get the other two. I just refitted the original one.
    I cleared the code with a cheap code reader, I don't know if the EML will clear itself after a run but I don't think you'll need VCDS unless you've got a lot of faults (I only had P0401). In any case, 3 VIN VCDS is like £200 plus your EGR is still way lower than any garage will quote to do the job. Even removing the more difficult bolts it still took me under 2hrs working very slowly and methodically with a few tools brought home from work. The EGR that came out looked like new but was blocked with black carbon inside. I'm hoping the problem is now solved.

  • @chrisbrewis432
    @chrisbrewis432 6 лет назад

    Do you need to crimp the coolant pipes to stop coolant flowing out when you have removed the pipes?
    When you reconnect the EGR does coolant flow through or is there an air bubble?
    Thanks in advance.

    • @berczigabor
      @berczigabor 5 лет назад

      You always have to crimp coolant lines, unless you're working at the highest point of the coolant system, because otherwise gravity will pull out large part of the coolant. When you reconnect the coolant lines there will be an air bubble in the system, but that will clear as soon as it gets to the reservoir tank. After driving the car a few kms, you've to top up the coolant.

      Clean your EGR valve, EGR pipe and intake manifold. Also if you've a vacuum actuated EGR valve or EGR cooler valve, check whether they actually hold and react to vacuum, and check whether the solenoid actuating them switched between vacuum and atmospheric pressure.

  • @davidmedlock6663
    @davidmedlock6663 6 лет назад

    Just to confirm:
    1)TORQ SIZE - T30 Torx - at least 100mm in length for the back screw (as per the video it has to be a thin shaft - fat shafts will not work pipe in the way)
    2)GASKETS You won't need any other gaskets (one comes with units, that is enough)
    3)BLEEDING RADIATOR AFTER INSTALL - You will lose roughly 500ml of water for the cooling system.
    There is no technical way to bleed a T5 this is it..
    With the header tank cap off and the system refilled with coolant, i let the engine idle for 5 mins to get it warmish and then held it on a fast idle (1300-1500 rpm). Periodically every 50-60 secs i gave it a fast rev/blip of the throttle. I had a mate stand by the header tank and top it up with coolant as required. I did this for about 20 mins.
    What you will notice is the coolant level rise and fall as air works its way round and the coolant expands.
    All the time i have the heater on max heat but only level 1 on the fan (you want it to get as hot as possible and have coolant get in to the heater matrix).
    Once done and with the engine still idling its worth just going round the hoses and making sure they are all warm. Give them all a good squeeze and try to pump any air through.
    4) THERE IS NO TEMPERATURE GUAGE IN T5 very handy thanks VW? The thermostat opens at 68 degrees (roughly) . Buy this trust me they are cheap and awesome

    5)YOU DONT NEED A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
    Glow plug light will flash after installation - don't panic go for a drive after checking for water leaks and bleed. After a 10 to 20 minute drive, the engine management system will correct this.
    6)TEST DRIVE
    (take water with you on the drive - check levels every 5min) note my water level did not move. (carry water for the next few weeks just in case)
    7) Clean the old one it's messy but worth it see instructions from other people above.
