Very cool that you removed the cooler without having to remove the windshield assembly and plastic cover! 👍

We cut a slot in the bolt of death bracket on the cooler assembly so you can slide over that bolt instead of having to remove it. It works great, and it took 2 min to modify.

That's smart I wish Toyota designed it that way from the factory

What a brilliant idea i did today and succed to open this nightmare bolt and throw in bin. Now i will open again and clean my EGR in 1 hour time. Just to let you know guys you must Get E8 Socket othwise you can't open the lethal bolt..

I really enjoyed your attention to detail showing the location of the hidden bolts. Stopping to have tea and coffee was great. Thanks and subscribed.

You have to also pull your intake and clean the 4 egr inlet holes that flow into the intake really good... You can instal brand new egr valve and cooler but if those 4 holes are blocked car will still not run correct

Use a brass 22cal. gun bore cleaning brush for the small intake holes. And plenty of brake/parts cleaner spray.

I love it when the KZreadr smacks the lens of the camera with the palm of his hand! It adds *so* much to the video!

Thanks for the very clear video. Yours is the only one that recommend to disconnect the battery. However, can you go a bit more in depth about the high voltage disconnect procedure? I’m a bit confusion as you said disconnect it but wonder if disconnecting the 12v battery is enough? Also, when reconnecting battery (12v and high votage), will there be any error code after? Should there be any caution before disconnecting them batteries?

The whole car's controls are from the 12V battery, If you disconnect it , everything stops. For this job, you do not really need to disconnect the battery. It is very common for this EGR line to have carbon build up. Cleaning it regularly every 100k miles for normal driving should be fine. Most of the time, they do not go bad, just get dirty. You can clean it with Brake cleaner of just pressure washer if you have it. The 4th gen Prius or Corolla 2019 hybrid has updated design, the EGR is after the catalytic converter that should reduce the amount of the carbon build up. For Auris 2 and Prius 3rd gen, this cleaning is kind of maintenance every 100k miles or 150k KM.

@@rondhole thank you so much for clearing it up. Working around those big orange cable really makes me nervous, hence the question regarding disconecting 12v is enough. Mine is 1255xx miles, just got it used and I dont think egr pipe/cooler assembly were ever cleaned. Thank you again. I’m going ahead and do this item along with cleaning intake manifold and both coolant drain and refill.

I know I'm late to the show, but the high voltage cutoff is an orange clip under the back seat. You have to take out the plastic tray covering the spare tire. There are many videos walking you through the process. I highly recommend pulling that clip any time you are working on this car. Better safe than sorry.

I attempted to replace my egr/cooler today early Sunday. That nut/bolt on the middle of cooler kick my butt. I was able to take the nut and was loosening the bolt screw, but ran out of energy and time. I will try again another weekend... Next time i will not take out the wiper mechanism and the cowl...

Tell me about it that nut of death is crazy. Glad you took it off

Removing the EGR cooler is no joke. Spent a small fortune buying specialized tools. In retro, would have been better to take it to a mech. See if your mech will remove for you, clean it yourself to save $, and have mech put it back together for you.

Did you have to remove the stud behind the "nut of death", or just the front stud? Thanks for everything!

To take it off I think you can just get away with taking the front stud off. Once the EGR VALVE is off you can take it off easier

Thanks for the video. I struggled with getting that bolt of death off today and never did. The tip to get more room with unclipping the orange cables will make a huge difference. I managed to get it off once before and I'm mad at myself for putting it back on as I feel it isn't needed either. That dang unit isn't going anywhere. Why did you have to remove the stud though? The EGR cooler will slide off even with the stud in place won't it?

@TEAMR4ULTV

Thanks for watching really appreciate it. The reason why I took the studs off is because, the studs go in through side and I was taking the EGR VALVE off towards front of the car with the studs being there cant pull it towards front of the car. I hope am making sense. That's the reason why I took the studs off

@@TEAMR4ULTV That makes sense. I was trying to remember what I did the first time and I think I removed the studs from the back of the EGR cooler so I could pull it off sideways. I'm going to get good at this as I would like to clean the parts every 50k miles. I have an extra EGR cooler and EGR valve so I can quickly swap them and take my time cleaning the parts.
