    Great video, cleaned mine out. Was good for a day then service light came back on. This part was replaced a year ago. Glow plugs changed. Switches between service and engine light. Starting to think it's faulty or wiring maybe... been frustrating for months now..

      Yes, it can be, but also if it was not replace with a genuine part it could behave like that. Mine is a bit worn out as well, i clean it once 6 months

    Great Video.. Thks. The works manual say disconnect the -ve battery terminal. Is this to reset ECU or will car automatically learn new parameters?? Also, my EGR has a dirty split pipe under EGR with screws in it?? My next project… another dirty hole to clean

    • @tibanu23
      @tibanu23  Год назад +1

      Yes, if you disconnect the battery the ecu will do a soft reset, but if the car is running fine the check engine will go away. I will film more videos in the future regarding the egr and intake manifold cleanup.

    Cleaned mine 3 times. Was still jamming. Just seen this video now and not realised you need to actually take off the servo motor.
    Thats where my problem was.
    I couldnt even push it. When I did it would get jammed fully open.
    Sorted now just soaking it then I'll try again 😅

    • @tibanu23
      @tibanu23  2 года назад

      I heard that s a common method, the cooler is more sensitive than the valve itself. And on newer vehicles like yours is best to get it to a specialized mechanic to do it

  • @danielmolnar1037
    @danielmolnar1037 Год назад +1

    Last year it cost me the EGR Valve and the sistem flashing 996£ it is crazy how costly is, did you do sistem flash before, if not can you make a video on sistem flash? The short runs are the killer of the EGR VALVE because the exhaust can't heat up enough to get burned off the diesel partials in the exhaust filter, so the particals block the valve, it is anoing, it got insaid a gas recycling sistem in pleased.

    • @tibanu23
      @tibanu23  Год назад +1

      I will try, yes, in the near future to make a video on that topic, i will try to cover the whole system including the particulate filter.
