Great video that! Those bolts are a bugger to get to and get out!
Hey 👋 yes they are a bit tricky, thanks for watching 😊
My garage replaced mine today, it wasn't cheap so I watched your video to see what was involved, it's pretty obvious its a very skilled job and I know now that it was worth every penny. Also I have to say you are the man, thanks for posting this, all the very best !
Thank you I really appreciate it! 🤗
Thanks so much for this video. Bought the replacement valeo egr and fitted yesterday. Saved myself a fortune and te van running much better straight away.
Great work! So much satisfaction doing it and saving a load of money at the same time 👍 thanks for watching I really appreciate it!
howq is it running better ? more power ?
A bad egr can cause a loss of power so after replacement you could have a very noticeable power gain and a much smoother running engine and better idle.
@@S14AA yes it also turned out to have a leak in the intercooler - had to get the garage to fix that but once done drives great again
@AGreenwood-wo6hr oh ok glad it’s all fixed now! Must drive like a new van again😊
MUY BUEN VIDEO, SALUDOS DESDE CHILE, CLARO Y MUY EXPLICATIVO
Thank you I appreciate it 😊
Great insight, our 2015 T5 coming up with P0401 code. 2 garages have so far said £1,000 or more + vat (vw specialists), one said have to drop subframe to get to it (based on search with the registration plate), but our egr is in the same position as the one in your video. Have good mind to tackle myself!!
Yes if it’s positioned in the same way then defo have a go at it urself! You could save a load of money and time too. Good luck let me know how you get on😊
I unplugged my EGR and moved on in life. My tdi runs great now
Nice one 💪
Unplugged as in the connector? I’m curious as mine is playing up. Thanks
Hi. I have a 2013 transporter 5.1.
Your video was a great help. Unfortunately I spent 2 hours plus Removing one torx screw.
Stripped it down. The flap inside was coked solid. Stripped it down. Spent ages cleaning it completely. Looks like brand new. Just need a set of new gaskets and we’re good to go. I couldn’t believe the volume of baked on carbon inside.
Great job! Yes that carbon can be stubborn stuff to get off! Hopfully that’s yours all sorted out now 👍
Ok so really good video but the last 30torx bottom right was a nightmare to access . Really easy solution sorted it. Use a 30torx screwdriver and then they have a slot in the handle to insert another in the set to act as a lever. I mucked around for an hour trying to access. This was literally 2 minutes ! If you don’t have a set buy some as will save you a nightmare last bolt
Great advice, half the battle is trying to get to hard to access nuts and bolts so coming up with clever ways is always fun! 👍
Do you have the link to the ones you got?
Thanks for putting this up here, it was a big help to refer to when changing my vans egr this last weekend. The actuator on the one I took off had seized solid. Unfortunately, whoever had sorted it out previously to my ownership managed to strip the heads on two of the torx bolts and round the nut on the manifold pipe. It was a pig to get off! The video was helpful though.
Thanks 😊 I’m glad it helped and sorry you had to deal with some rounded bolts what a nightmare! Hope you have no more issues now tho 👍
@@MrAutoFixer I mounted it back on with replacement hex head bolts, and left the one off under the elbow pipe.It'll make it easier for myself "next time". 3 bolts should be enough to keep it in place, hopefully! I've had nothing but issues with it for the past few weeks, slowly working my way through the potential problems (warning lights still on the dash).
@@williammills9852 sounds like you done a great job so far with fixing it! Hopefully it’s not too much more to get all the lights out 👍
How did you manage to get the bolts of in the end?, my top 30torx on the right hand side is rounded off. Can’t get enough behind a hammer to get a bigger size but in ether
@@JayD9Five I used the ball end of a small ball pein hammer and gently tapped the stripped head back in on itself. It worked just enough to get the torx bit to "bite". I also used a small chisel with hammer on the outer edge of the bolt head. The chisel should bite into the bolt head and you can tap it gently in the direction of rotation to loosen it off. It took a while but hopefully this will work for you as well. I also applied penetrating fluid liberally whilst doing this.I feel your pain, as it's a bad enough job to do without the extra hassle! Good luck!
Perfect thanks
Your welcome 🤗
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊
I'm getting a recurring EGR low flow fault on my T6 and seem to be suffering from a reduction in mpg. Not sure if the two are connected, any ideas?
I'm thinking I need to be in the market for a replacement EGR Valve, I don't see the point in trying to clean it just to get the same issue weeks later, plus it means less down time for the vehicle.
Hopefully this will be the first time it's been off (66 Plate 84,000 ish miles) so no bodged fasteners???
Useful little tutorial, will see how we go?
Yes that sounds like yours is getting clogged up with a low flow code, a bad EGR can have a negative affect on the MPG so defo worth taking off and having a look but have a new one there ready to replace it as chances are you will need the new one! Good luck let me know how it goes👍
Very helpful video. What did you use to clean it?
Hi best thing I have found to clean this stuff is any DPF cleaner you can find, it’s really good at breaking down the carbon 👍 thanks for watching.
@@MrAutoFixer excellent, thank you 🤜🏼🤛🏼
So, if you are to clean & refit, is there a gasket that needs replacing?
You can get new seals but if the old ones are in good nick just reuse them and check for any blows after 👍
I replaced the whole unit with the pipe that’s attached at the back. I noticed the right hand pipe next to the coolant one looked pretty blocked when disconnected. Shall I replace this one too or do you think it would be ok?
Hey 👋 the more you can clean out or replace the better really so if you can I would 👍
Ps. Before I did this, I changed the boost solenoid and the map/f sensor. Made no difference.
It’s a fairly simple but manky job cleaning it out.
I agree it can be a messy job but well worth doing 💪
Would stuck EGR-valve result in engine running cold or hardly warm up unless after a long drive?
A stuck EGR valve won’t have any affect on the temperature, it’s there to recirculate the exhaust gases for efficiency and anti pollution purposes, there are lots of educational videos online on how they work 👍
Hey there, I had my EGR valve replaced about 18 months ago after a fault reading, it's now back, P0403 Pending EGR A Control Circuit/Open. I called the guys who did it, and they said "yeah EGRs don't last long, can look into replacing it for really expensive again, or wiring it out for fairly expensive". I was suprised there was no cleaning it option from them. What would you recommend? And what is cheaper?
You could always look into have a remap done that can erase it so it’s no longer used but I would speak to a company that deals with it. You don’t want to be replacing it that often ! 👍
@@MrAutoFixer ah yes, that remapping is what I meant by wiring out. That is also quite expensive though, and I'm left wondering, doesn't my van need the EGR? Isn't remapping it gonna be bad for the van?
