How to remove and clean EGR Valve VW T5 1.9 (AUDI SEAT SKODA)

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Yes i know I say ERG for some reason. Wife’s left hook obviously caused a bit of concussion 👍

[@prosser2012]

Thank you so much for posting this video, gave me the confidence to give it a go myself and its worked a treat! Admittedly my view wasn't as scenic as yours but the result was the same!

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Hi just seen this. Excellent work that's exactly the purpose of the channel. Well done. You can do it 👍

[@doglifehub]

Great video, mate. Straight into it...no messing about, and really clear instructions. Just paid for a new one to be fitted. Wish I'd seen your video first lol

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Thanks for the feedback. 👍

[@S7EVE_P]

I'll be trying to clean my ERG valve instead of paying for a new one........thanks for sharing this info👍

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Thanks and check for the worn cables to the valve. You can do it 👍

[@Darth_Chicken]

Very interesting. Was about to pay for 'Carbon clean' service but will be doing this instead.

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

While you are check the cables are good to the valve. You can do it 👍

[@kristopherwilliams5711]

Mines idling a bit lumpy, and stalls low speed, going to look at this and see if its blocked up like yours and hope for the best

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Keep us posted on how it goes. You can do it 👍

What benefit does it do ‘ too have the EGR valve cleaned ?
Thanks 🙏

I’m on it. 👍

What benefit is there for wiping your back side after a poo?

[@shane555]

I did mine the other week and I'd noticed a bit of a whistle between 2000 and 3000rpm (under load) so not sure if I've done something to it, although it runs okay, just seems a bit lower on power.
I checked earlier and there's loads of oil under where the valve attaches, surely it shouldn't leak oil from there? I definitely put the o ring back on

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Should leak oil to the outside. May stalks caught up. You can do it 👍

[@shane555]

@@YoucandoitwithJules thanks for the reply fella. What do you mean by stalks? 👍

[@nealhawksbee6708]

Great video and very clear, can this be done as a preventative measure, before EGR causes problems and are there any areas to be careful of when cleaning the EGR valve?

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Good to look at preventative maintenance. Just be careful and check the cables to the EGR for abrasive wear. You can do it 👍

[@nealhawksbee6708]

@@YoucandoitwithJules Thanks for that, may take it out at some point and give it a good clean.

@@YoucandoitwithJules Hi again, I forgot to ask, which code reader do you use or recommend for the T5 T30, as I also have a Seat Leon 1.6tdi Tech and I`ve read somewhere that some code readers don`t work on certain engine systems?

@@nealhawksbee6708 we use VCDS with cable to a laptop. Some cheap readers only give the real basici info. You can do it 👍

[@otraola2020]

Any reason why I’m seeing an oil leak underneath this component on my 1.8tdi

Thanks for the video, it helpt me to solve the problem with the ERG Valve, greetings from South West France

Pleasure glad video helped. Keep healthy and greetings from Austria. You can do it 👍

[@Viralclown]

Would that give the car a misfire feel?
I’m thinking this or loose injector wires. Got a knock misfire feel

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Kind of and just won’t run right. You can do it 👍

[@swanto123]

Do you have any inf
o how to do this on T6 102hp. Thanks mate

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Hi sorry no. Should be possible to work it out if you find the part online to see the shape and bolt hole format and they find it on your engine. You can do it 👍

O meu carro skoda otávia 1.9 acusa CO2 vou proceder a limpeza da EGR depois se vê e resultou

[@גודסגיא]

Thx bro made it now on my t5, took me 2:30 hours

[@mikeblade9173]

Nice work thanks

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Thanks and keep us posted . You can do it

[@Rooneydog999]

Good video, nice and clear. What torque settings did you use for the bolts, thanks :)

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Hi, I didn’t use a set torque. just by feel hand tight. If in doubt just do them up and then undo one to check and see if it feels as tight as when you first remove it, then you’ll get a feel for if you’ve done them up enough. You can do it 👍

[@joelstjohn3903]

Thanks for the vid 👍🏽

Absolutely amazing!!!

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Hope it worked. You can do it :)

[@1hourwave90]

@@YoucandoitwithJules I did it. It choked a bit, since I didn't clear the hose into the EGR, but after a few tryouts it worked out. Now I feel the power when I hit the pedal. It was completely dirty and stacked. The red EGR lamp from some reason didn't show up anything. You helped and now the lamps are inside me. Do you plan/have some DPF cleaning tutorial as well. (T5 Transporter in here)

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

@@1hourwave90 Great work. I’ll look into doing. DPF video in the Future. You can do it 👍

You say ERG throughout...

One thing to bear in mind these studs can be seized solid and easily sheared off

Egr !!!

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Thanks for the feedback. I know but sometimes when making videos things come out the wrong way. You can do it 👍

[@ssss-df5qz]

Those pesky Exhaust Recirculation Gas valves eh.

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Yep. Bit dyslexic that day. Something about making videos on the hoof all the words come out wrong. You can do it 👍
