I am sure a lot of people are thinking, that is a lot of effort. Can I just use an air intake spray and be done with this. Here is the result using a spray vs. toothbrush: ruclips.net/video/koSxf67CtHI/видео.html Also, for cleaning the EGR valve, use any carb cleaner or even better, dishwashing liquid and water. See here: ruclips.net/video/koSxf67CtHI/видео.html
Thanks for the description very informative. What I found when doing this was that the parts had become magnetised making assembly difficult with the spring being magnetised it was jumping out of position .I eventually assembled and fount the rotor sticking/jerking and not returning to position. i left this overnight intending to de-magnetise the next day. came back the next day without doing anything the rotor was turning freely as it should. What happened overnight ... I don't know?
Hi MM, have you considered blanking the egr valve on this engine ? I did this to my C-max, 2005, 2.0L TDI and produced a big improvement in mpg and performance. I'd like to do it to my 2017, 1.5L HDI blue in my Peugeot 2008. Also at what mileage would you expect the egr to give problems ? Your opinion would be much valued, thanks.
@@nigelmitchell351 Good question nigel. I have considered it, but unlikely I will do it. Several reasons for that. Diesels get vilified a lot and blanking these does not help us using our diesels. There will be quite a bit more pollution once the EGR is blanked, mainly Nox. So, it will be polluting more. Separate from that is the operating temperature of the engine, the EGR reduces that, so a blanked EGR will increase a bit your cylinder temperature. There are multitude of positives to using the EGR, from pumping losses to making the cylinders/volume smaller when not needed, e.g. driving on a motorway, so that all in all reduces consumption. Good video that describes all of these is here: ruclips.net/video/FrpyLvPodkc/видео.html
This is, by far, the best video I've managed to find on how to locate and remove the EGR-valve! Thank you so much and especially for taking your time, making sure to show how all the plugs are connected/disconnected and all the attachmentpoints for both the valve and all the plastic hosing.
Thanks for a very useful video. A removed and cleaned the EGR on a C4 picasso where the acessibility is very poor. Three hands would be needed for re-assembly and there is space for one and a half ... My problem was to avoid dropping the thin plate between engine and the EGR. My ultimate solution was two small drops of super glue close to the bolts loosely fixing the plate to the EGR. When the glue had dried it was easy to connect the EGR to the intercooler and then attaching bolts. No risk of dropping the plate! I guess that the small amount of glue won't interfere with the intended fit. Seems to work!
Very thorough video.Thank you for taking the time and effort to explain, in detail, how go about removing,stripping,cleaning and reinstalling the egr valve.Much appreciated!
Excellent video, i can't thank you enough, i even changed my rail sensor while the egr was out, took it for a good run today, ran great, even got rid of the air pollution fault.
I’m going to add what a few people have said on the comments. That I am so impressed with the talk through and video of this. By far the best explanation and video step by step guide I’ve seen. Thank you so much. I’ve now subscribed and going to be watching a lot more of your videos. Cheers.
Many thanks indeed for the good words, really appreciated! I generally try to do videos that I would want to watch and see how it is done and be able to do it myself from watching the video, rather than something quick and some important bits missing. I do not always suceed though.
Awesome! When you showed that special tool for the round clamp I was like "hmm can't we fit a ring clamp that uses a screw, and then you tell you did just that, nice!
Thank you for taking the time to make and share these helpful videos. Not sure I would have worked out the spring on the EGR acruator without your demonstration. For non Partner owners the air box has to be taken apart before it will clear the bulkhead, Just 3 screws with allen heads so not too bad.
This is by far the most thorough video i have watched, i only wanted to change a tyre but i learned how to change an egr valve aswell 😉... absolutely fantastic, keep it up buddy!! Karl from wales 👊
Many thanks indeed for the good words, much appreciated! Funnily enough, the first time I ever did my EGR valve, I also rounded one of the bolts, hence the part number in the description of the video. Thanks again.
Genuinely excellent guide. I did the same on a C4 Grand Picasso, A LOT less room but eventually sorted. The bracket between the EGR and recirculating pipe needs to be fully removed before you pull out the EGR, I managed to bend the pipe and pipe flanges a bit because I left the bracket on not wanting to lose it in the engine bay. Thank you! Brilliant. 😁👍
As per many of the other comments - thank you for going into detail, especially all of the various plugs and clips. When you can't see how they undo it is easy to break things ( for me anyway).
Many thanks indeed for the nice comment, I certainly appreciate it. I do the videos, or at least try to do them in a way that one can see all the details even if I have not done that before. I hate when some details are not given and I have no idea how to do something. Then I spend 3 days looking at other videos for that particular detail. Unfortunately not always possible to cover everything even with best of intentions. All the best
Thank you for your information and your time . When I did mine I just pushed the fuel filter to one side and undid the frame that holds it . That way I didn't have to mess around with it .
Excellent video. My wife's Citroën C4 has much the same engine and we were quoted AUD2,500 to replace the valve, which the garage says has a faulty (intermittent), "sticking", EGR valve. Needless to say, we won't be bothering the garage again regarding the EGR valve.
Hi David, EGR valves are a bit expensive and it takes time to get to it and replace it, but AUD2,500 is way too much. 1/2 of that is kind of acceptable for a complete replacement.
What an excellent video! I have exactly the same model and your video will help me immensely when I tackle this job tomorrow..Thank you and I have subscribed as you seem to have lots of interesting stuff on your channel.
HUGE THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! I disassembled, cleaned and reassembled the EGR valve of my 2007 Peugeot 307 SW, all in less than 3 hours! THANK YOU!!! IMMENSAMENTE GRAZIE PER QUESTO VIDEO! Grazie a questo ho smontato, ripulito e rimontato la valvola EGR della mia Peugeot 307 SW del 2007, il tutto in meno di 3 ore! GRAZIE!!!
I always do torque with a torque wrench, as I am a bit ham fisted and tend to snap bolts. I generally do not rely on my feel for the bolts, I always think they are not tight enough 🙂
Just finished cleaning the same egr and it also wasn't that bad but also was getting stuck towards the end of the run much like your's. What i did was knocking out the fork by hammering it gently and opened it completely. I then turned it upside down and knocked it on a piece of wood and a lot of carbon came out. Even after this it still felt like it was hard to turn and it turned out to be the bearing on the inside. I cleaned this with carburetor cleaner and greased it. Job done. Thanks for posting your video.
@@moremolecules I did the operation on my recently acquired 2004 C3 XTR, with the DV4TED4 engine (the 1.4hdi 16 valver that the 1.6 replaced), it was similar enough, but I have a few remarks: - (on my model at least) you can get away with not undoing the fuel filter, just sliding it out of it's rails and shoving it away allows for removing the airbox with a bit of shuffling arround. So I saved having to worry about bubbles in my system/priming it with the pump. - you didn't cover cleaning the EGR tube that goes from the EGR valve to the intake. That tube was a massive pita to get out since I had ECU wiring in the way and didn't figure out how to unplug it. On mine, the EGR valve itself was the pneumatic version and was barely dirty, but the tube was absolutely filthy and I suspect was causing issues. I cleaned it up with a stick, soap, WD40 and the hose, then erased the error codes and the engine light went away, hopefully it stays that way. I'll make sure to regularly blast it clean on the autobahn :)
@@Hugobros3 Yes I did not, but it is on my todo list. The thing is that apart from the EGR pipe, one also probably needs to clean the air intake for the cylinders, as these will be also covered with soot. Because it is quite a bit of work removing all the wiring and injector pipes, I am waiting to get a second car and then do all the work. I do not think it matters if you give it a blast now and then, it will generate the soot anyway. The main problem is the oil that goes from the crankcase/turbo and creates a bit of hard mixture with the soot. Maybe the 1.4hdi is a bit better in that respect, but I doubt it.
@@seanguild6528 Ha, thanks for the info, much appreciated. It makes sense I guess, same as the pugs/ford/volvo/suzuki/mazda with respect to the 1.6HDi/TDCi
Thank you very much indeed oooyugi, really appreciated! It makes my day when I receive a comment like this. Generally very few garages will clean the EGR valve, they always push for a new valve.
@@moremolecules Hey Friend you made my day with this brilliant How-To film. Curious -Can I use some thin ( 1 or 2mm ) Tin Plate out of my garage for a Home Made Blanking Plate ? Or does it need to be Stainless Steel ? Also should there be a hole in said plate for the EML to go off ? Thanks 🙏
@@oooyugi You can use anything. I would just get a blanking plate from a coke can or a beer can. It does not need to be stainless steel. It is a good question about the hole. I do not know the answer to that. Depending on the model you might not get EML from the blanking plate. For other car makes they have been successful with one or several holes to avoid EML. I guess you could try and see if that is the case with your model.
@@moremolecules Hi. Also. Does the EGR Valve still have to work, even with a Blanking Plate fitted. Otherwise the van will remain on Limp Mode ? I suppose I’m asking can the faulty EGR be unplugged (or fault deleted on computer diagnostics ) and considered void with Plate in situ. As EGR isn’t being used no more so I will be basically buying a new EGR just to continue a correct electrical circuit. I hope I’m making sense.
@@oooyugi As far as I know, it will not work if you just unplug it. The computer knows that it is unplugged and will give you EML. The trick is to have it plugged, but blocked. If the EGR is faulty, the computer might still recognise this and give you EML.
Very very good mechanichs and exellent explanation. You are very good in teaching and showing how to work ina a engine. THANKYOU VRERY MUCH FOR THIS EXELLENT VIDEO. 100 %
Man, thank you A LOT I opened the electrical part (thinking it would separate the black piece from the grey piece) and the spring jumped off. I wasn't able to figure it out how it go back. I searched a few hours on internet and finally came to your video Thank you a lot, you just saved me a whole new EGR valve so around 250€ for an OEM !
@@moremolecules not yet, I will continue tomorrow. I just saw your coolant change, very good tips, especially your DIY header bleeder, I don't think I need that on my C4 because the collant tank is way higher than on your partner But because its and LHD, the second bleeder is much harder to reache (kinda hidden by the air filter box) Anyway, you got a very well deserved subscriber ! A massive thanks to you from France !
@@vlone59 AFAIK, there are two versions of the upper electronic EGR part in these engines. I have two videos that cover the different versions. It is only a slight difference. Good luck :-)
@@moremolecules I tried today but the valve won't return (unlike yours) I tried to let it soak in WD40 and it improved a lot, I had return (almost to the end of the position) but when I put it back and tried to calibrate it with diagbox, I get a failed calibration and if I try to check the values reported for the EGR valve, the result is "incorrect value" I think I'm good for a trip to the scrapyard to get an used one. Since I am planning to block it with an Knox plate, it doesn't matter brand new or used. I just want a working one since the MOT in France check for default codes via OBD and can refuse a car if some defaults are present (even if the engine light is off !) I also saw 2 types of EGR valve but as I remember it not on the 1.6 HDi The 1.4 HDi as a different one and the 2.0L HDi also an other one
@@vlone59 Do you mean the upper spring thing does not move freely back or the actual valve inside the bottom part? If is the upper, the spring is not positioned correctly. If it is the bottom, yes soak it in something, also wash it with washing up liquid, etc. If the upper moves alright and the bottom moves alright, but when you put them back together you get the errors, it is the way you put them back together. The bottom you only need to check if the pin can move along nicely in the channel.
What a cracking video. Although i don't have a 1.6 but a 2015 Euro 5 Expert 2.0 hdi 130bhp with the same symptoms. The boost is there especially in 1st gear but quickly disappears. It takes around 20+ seconds to get to 60mph. It's had a brand new turbo and EGR fitter in the last 10k miles. Also throttle body and inlet manifold removed and cleaned. No fault codes on mine. Full service too. New MAF and MAP. Trouble is it's so tight in my engine bay. I can't access the solenoids at the back of the engine. Because the turbo works intermittently i don't think it's a pipe off but i could be losing boost The EGR seems to operate on startup too, so it's all got me a bit stumped. Thanks for the vid.
I completely sympathise with the amount of space. I would certainly look into the turbo solenoid. It could well be a bit stuck, so little boost provided. There was a video somewhere of cleaning it, but difficult to get to and the price of a new one is really cheap. Not too certain about the 2.0HDi and it is a newer model than mine, but there must be a relief valve somewhere between the injectors. That should be free of gunk.
Thanks for the video! I shall be doing this ok my expert 2009 van next weekend, along with changing the sensor near by. Keep getting anti polllution warning… and keeps going into limp mode…. Well it comes and goes, but sometimes it will cut out in the middle of the road which isn’t great! So hoping a clean of the egr and changing the sensor will help
Great video very informative for sumeone who has not done this before(like me) I am going to put mine in my ultrasonic cleaner this weekend with some screwfix degreaser
The best how to video I've seen. Very informative and explaining everything as you go. I haven't attempted it though. I seem to have a lot less space to work with (peugeot207sw) which puts me off
Thanks Marka885, much appreciated. As compared to other 1.6HDis, I do indeed have lots of space in my car to work on. The thing is though that you can see it on my car and potentially work in a more restricted space knowing how to do it. I really hope it helps a bit. All the best.
@@moremolecules yes very helpful and I have subscribed. Theres no way I'd be able to get the air filter out whole as you did. I'd be concerned that I'd remove something and not be able to get it back on haha. Having said that I will have to tackle the "anti pollution faulty" as I'd imagine that will fail mot.
@@marka885 It should be fairly simple to put something back together if you take it out. Take a lot of pictures. Yes, the anti pollution fault is an MOT failure. I bet is the DPF. Get it on the motorway for a good steady run and it may be forced to regenerate. Good luck
Thx for this detailed video. I did it today at an Citroen Xsara Picasso N68 1.6 HDI, it's a pain in the ass, there is so much less space compared to your car, but it is still possible to mange :)
Hi Dexter, yes, my engine bay was designed to accommodate the 2.0HDi, thus luckily for me there is plenty of space. It could still be done for other models, but is a bit of contortionist effort.
BRO!! You just fixed my car!! Well not literally.. I didn't have a replacement clip..... so i was like F4!!! so i just take off the black motor housing... and it was full up to the brim with black powder.. i blow it out best i can.. and lube up the motor spinner... replace... drive down road.. same hesitation and BS....... i floor it.. lots of smoke.. then WOOOSHHHHHH back to normal!! MUCH LOVE HOMBRE!! Maybe pin this to help other people... i have searched for weeks and weeks to fix this problem

@@oooyugi As far as I know, it will not work if you just unplug it. The computer knows that it is unplugged and will give you EML. The trick is to have it plugged, but blocked. If the EGR is faulty, the computer might still recognise this and give you EML.
Great videos and well explained and no bull
Thank you Robert, much appreciated!
Excellent job thanks 👍👍
Świetny poradnik💪
Very very good mechanichs and exellent explanation.
You are very good in teaching and showing how to work ina a engine. THANKYOU VRERY MUCH FOR THIS EXELLENT VIDEO. 100 %
Haha, thank you, although I am no mechanic, but try to maintain some level of standard.
Man, thank you A LOT
I opened the electrical part (thinking it would separate the black piece from the grey piece) and the spring jumped off.
I wasn't able to figure it out how it go back.
I searched a few hours on internet and finally came to your video
Thank you a lot, you just saved me a whole new EGR valve so around 250€ for an OEM !
Thank you! Hope everything is back together working
@@moremolecules not yet, I will continue tomorrow.
I just saw your coolant change, very good tips, especially your DIY header bleeder, I don't think I need that on my C4 because the collant tank is way higher than on your partner
But because its and LHD, the second bleeder is much harder to reache (kinda hidden by the air filter box)
Anyway, you got a very well deserved subscriber !
A massive thanks to you from France !
@@vlone59 AFAIK, there are two versions of the upper electronic EGR part in these engines. I have two videos that cover the different versions. It is only a slight difference. Good luck :-)
@@moremolecules I tried today but the valve won't return (unlike yours) I tried to let it soak in WD40 and it improved a lot, I had return (almost to the end of the position) but when I put it back and tried to calibrate it with diagbox, I get a failed calibration and if I try to check the values reported for the EGR valve, the result is "incorrect value" I think I'm good for a trip to the scrapyard to get an used one.
Since I am planning to block it with an Knox plate, it doesn't matter brand new or used.
I just want a working one since the MOT in France check for default codes via OBD and can refuse a car if some defaults are present (even if the engine light is off !)
I also saw 2 types of EGR valve but as I remember it not on the 1.6 HDi
The 1.4 HDi as a different one and the 2.0L HDi also an other one
@@vlone59 Do you mean the upper spring thing does not move freely back or the actual valve inside the bottom part? If is the upper, the spring is not positioned correctly. If it is the bottom, yes soak it in something, also wash it with washing up liquid, etc. If the upper moves alright and the bottom moves alright, but when you put them back together you get the errors, it is the way you put them back together. The bottom you only need to check if the pin can move along nicely in the channel.
very good video and extremely well referenced, thank you.
excelente video amigo....excelent video pal
Thaks for showing that cable clip on the egr ;-)
Brilliant video - thank you VERY much!
Köszönöm a segítséget Magyarorszàg Sìòfokròl örök hàla.👌
What a cracking video. Although i don't have a 1.6 but a 2015 Euro 5 Expert 2.0 hdi 130bhp with the same symptoms. The boost is there especially in 1st gear but quickly disappears. It takes around 20+ seconds to get to 60mph. It's had a brand new turbo and EGR fitter in the last 10k miles. Also throttle body and inlet manifold removed and cleaned. No fault codes on mine. Full service too. New MAF and MAP.
Trouble is it's so tight in my engine bay. I can't access the solenoids at the back of the engine. Because the turbo works intermittently i don't think it's a pipe off but i could be losing boost The EGR seems to operate on startup too, so it's all got me a bit stumped. Thanks for the vid.
I completely sympathise with the amount of space. I would certainly look into the turbo solenoid. It could well be a bit stuck, so little boost provided. There was a video somewhere of cleaning it, but difficult to get to and the price of a new one is really cheap. Not too certain about the 2.0HDi and it is a newer model than mine, but there must be a relief valve somewhere between the injectors. That should be free of gunk.
Great video man. Bravo 👏👏👏
Thanks for the video!
I shall be doing this ok my expert 2009 van next weekend, along with changing the sensor near by.
Keep getting anti polllution warning… and keeps going into limp mode…. Well it comes and goes, but sometimes it will cut out in the middle of the road which isn’t great! So hoping a clean of the egr and changing the sensor will help
Great video, & Commentary 👍
Thank you! 👍
Thanks for tutorial, will be useful :)
You'r doing a great job
Thank you brother.... It's was very interesting... 👍
Realy helpful
*Thanks for this vid !* 😉👍
Great video very informative for sumeone who has not done this before(like me) I am going to put mine in my ultrasonic cleaner this weekend with some screwfix degreaser
Hi Scotty, ultrasonic cleaner will be really good for this purpose. Is it a DIY-style or specifically purchased.
@@moremolecules I purchased it on line.Im also going to try and clean the DPF
Great video 👌 thanks
The best how to video I've seen. Very informative and explaining everything as you go. I haven't attempted it though. I seem to have a lot less space to work with (peugeot207sw) which puts me off
Thanks Marka885, much appreciated. As compared to other 1.6HDis, I do indeed have lots of space in my car to work on. The thing is though that you can see it on my car and potentially work in a more restricted space knowing how to do it. I really hope it helps a bit. All the best.
@@moremolecules yes very helpful and I have subscribed. Theres no way I'd be able to get the air filter out whole as you did. I'd be concerned that I'd remove something and not be able to get it back on haha. Having said that I will have to tackle the "anti pollution faulty" as I'd imagine that will fail mot.
@@marka885 It should be fairly simple to put something back together if you take it out. Take a lot of pictures. Yes, the anti pollution fault is an MOT failure. I bet is the DPF. Get it on the motorway for a good steady run and it may be forced to regenerate. Good luck
Lovely video well done
Excellent video
Thx for this detailed video. I did it today at an Citroen Xsara Picasso N68 1.6 HDI, it's a pain in the ass, there is so much less space compared to your car, but it is still possible to mange :)
Hi Dexter, yes, my engine bay was designed to accommodate the 2.0HDi, thus luckily for me there is plenty of space. It could still be done for other models, but is a bit of contortionist effort.
Big thank you!😃
Nice video.
Good detailes 👍
great tutorial
Excellent travail
Clearly impressed, I've got the 2012 1.6hdi 308 need to lift the bonnet and check if same layout 👍
There might be some differences, but it should be similar
Süpersin adamım. Teşekkürler.🙋♂️
Excellent!
BRO!! You just fixed my car!! Well not literally.. I didn't have a replacement clip..... so i was like F4!!! so i just take off the black motor housing... and it was full up to the brim with black powder.. i blow it out best i can.. and lube up the motor spinner... replace... drive down road.. same hesitation and BS....... i floor it.. lots of smoke.. then WOOOSHHHHHH back to normal!!
MUCH LOVE HOMBRE!! Maybe pin this to help other people... i have searched for weeks and weeks to fix this problem
Yes, that would help a little bit, as the pins would not snag and would keep going.
Very good Job and thank you for the details¡¡¡
Thank you, appreciated!
