Really useful video on replacing an EGR valve!

Excellent demonstration on a common issue that can be very expensive without this knowledge. Really appreciate your time and patience. Thank you.

GREAT VIDEO, HELPING SO MANY PEOPLE FROM BEING ABUSED AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF! ALWAYS THUMBS UP!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Thanks Mike!

Good tip, I have put a resistor in the glove box for emergency repair on the road.

Thank you for doing this video because most ppl don't explain the real symptoms, especially the black smoke. Let me also say, the problem with the failure really is inside the part, specifically at the internal bearing. The bearing fails and the shaft does not rotate well. Cleaning the outside really does nothing

@@madetoexplore I've been dealing with this problem for 2 months and asking every so call diesel expert, ppl, shops, etc. I literally had to eliminate every other thing to find this. Even switching one injector at a time. Even had to take the turbo apart twice to clean for soot. I finally part 2 and 2 together with the sound of the engine. What a long, frustrating process and no one had a clue. I'm on the road traveling and now waiting on this part to be delivered. Once I figured out what was wrong, I then searched KZread and came across your video. Boy, I am mentally exhausted from this one for sure. Thanks again

Easy to follow 😊 ... i did the plugs already, wow it took me less than 1 hour to replace all 5 ... i guess the egr is next then 😁 thanks!

That’s great! Is it just spinning without coming out or is it stuck? Since the threads are aluminum sometimes they can be stripped. I would try and remove it carefully and try to get some PB blaster on there

Thanks great 👍

All kinds of EGR experiences but similar to yours. I'm going to replace mine after cleaning many, many times. Will I need to "talk" to the CPU to recognize the new EGR or should it basically be plug n play? I'm running a 2011 2500. Great video.

I thought mine was egr. Turned out to be loose air intake control arms. They sit under the oil cooler down right under the turbo outlet piper and are part of the intake manifold. If they have play in them the comp cant tell where they sit in space and throws codes. Mine happens when accelerating rapidly like on a freeway ramp. I found this out after replacing the egr didnt fix the issue. Now the real Fix is 2-5 k.

Was your EGR valve making a whining/humming sound right after you turned off the engine and removed the key from the ignition ?

I’m not sure, I never checked that. It would make sense but it would depend where the flap gets stuck. Some get stuck closed and some get stuck open.

Copy that. I figured it out by studying the lines on another video. I am curious About this bypass. If I do this I understand that it won’t signal to my van to get it into limp mode but would it give me horsepower? Because I feel like I’m accelerating very slowly and there’s still not enough power. I haven’t put that resistor in yet

I have issues when my 2006 sprinter is sitting outside over night and it gets below around 30 degrees F. Can it be the EGR valve? Battery is new and mechanic says doesn't sound like alternator issue.

@madetoexplore

2 жыл бұрын

No it doesn’t sound like the EGR valve. If the battery is new and the voltage is higher than 12v when the engine is off then I would check your positive/negative connections to your starter. Keep an eye out for broken wires/loose rusty connections as well. I had to replace the main grounding wire that ran from the battery to the engine block on our sprinter.

So did the EGR valve you installed work? I’m having underboost problems and took the egr out to clean it. It does go back but it’s pretty slow to go back. I don’t want to pay OEM price on this van with 500,000 miles so I was hoping the eBay one would work.
