My replacement EGR is on the way and I need to do this on my 2012 Jetta which started throwing the P0403 again at 350K KM (did it back at 300K but came good till now). Although I’ve been an enthusiast DIY mechanic to older VWs all my life, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a horrible job to do, I’d seriously rather rebuild an engine. Thanks for the very detailed video and I hope to check back in within the next week or so and say it wasn’t such a pig of a job as I expected, but I reckon it’ll be terrible from the videos I’ve seen. Things we do to save money and keep these old workhorses going!

Hi, nice work but you dont need to take the subframe off and also you dont need to take off the oil pipes that goes to the turbo, there is enough space to take the EGR off without the extra work and of course without extra costs of replacing the gaskets if doing so. Also the EGR metal part doesnt need to be replace as it can be cleaned and the EGR valve motor and vacuume part can be bought individually saving a lot of money also. Regarding the metal pipes that goes to the front they can also be cleaned with household chemicals. Cheers

I admire the patience you have to breakdown the various parts to get to the EGR valve and associated intake manifold. It seems quite an arduous task. In hindsight, would it have been easier to take out the engine and service that side of the engine? I have some experience with the older VW diesel engines, e.g. pompe duece, and servicing the EGR and intake manifold is less complicated than these more modern common rail engines. As an aside, I wish VW had maintained the orientation of the engine, as in the B5 and B5.5 Passats, rather than transverse as is now common. How I hope VW will produce all electric versions of their popular models. Maintaining the ICE and all the anti-pollution equipment such as this EGR system is ridiculous!

My advice is to buy an original EGR from a VW dealer. They are over twice the price, but for a good reason. I have seen non-original EGR fail shortly after installation. It has been a revision of the cooler from 03L131512CF to 03L131512DQ, and the latter is a better part then the ones (CF) fitted from factory.

Took it out cleaned it and it worked fine with smooth engine shutdown. After 1000 miles the engine started throwing p0403 again. It shuts down smoothly without shutter.

@@wawayltd Your problem/symptoms were identical with my 2011 VW Sharan 2.0 CR TDI CFFB.103 KW, 404.000 Km driven car, I purchased when was 2,5 years old with 217.000 Km on board back in 22 November 2013, car's name is Böze Wagen. In late time I had discovered a connection when the engine was warm, then the flashing glow-plug light (or flashing light bulb wire) came in almost immediately, and that would be not a problem if not paired with limp mode, but this is the way 😒. When the engine was started cold, the the flashing light came out erratically, but more and more often. Also I cleaned the intake manifold (for the first time, there was 600+ grams of oily carbon deposit measured by weight before/after cleaning). I cleaned the intake valves and throttle body (for the EGR). Then I was thinking to clean the DPF/catalysator unit and EGR cooler too, which I did with detergent, carburetor cleaner fluid and muriatic acid (10% HCl) and lots of soaking time, water and compressed air. The two lambda sensor and the two temperature sensor I cleaned ultrasonically. I have the videos, maybe I will post them. Anyway, when I was removing the DPF filter that is needed to take out the EGR cooler, I noticed that my flex pipe - is a component of the DPF filter - is completely broken, then I discovered that the subframe bushing that holds the transmission pendulum is torn all the way, so this explains everything. The subframe bushing broke, this allowed more engine/transmission movement, and that broke the flex pipe all the way. Then the more oxygen measured on the second lambda sensor triggered the flashing glow-plug light on the dashboard. As the lambda/oxygen sensor is working well only in heated conditions, and also has it's own heating element, then is logical that was triggered almost immediately when the engine was warm before startup then when the engine was cold, and the software let some time before triggering the alarm. Anyway, now I am in the the process of installing back everything, I welded a new flex pipe to the DPF, but I came to this video to look at each bolt where it goes, I put them in order, but I do not remember well the order when the parts came out, so I had some trouble finding the place for the nuts and bolts. Wheels and Motors video helped me a lot, in the past also I had help on other repairs. Many thank and keep up the good work 👍, peace.

If you come to Halfords or Euro Car Parts - they sell some stuff like bottles or sprays for EGR cleaning, and instructions how to use that are on them... However to be honest, in this car, if EGR developed a problem, cleaning might not help. Unlike previous engine generation, where valve was so close to intake and got clogged up with mixture of oil and soot, here we get just soot and it shouldn't give too much trouble. You can use some of that stuff I mentioned above and see how it goes - maybe they sell it for reason.. I that doesn't help, then you'll have to either replace it or I also seen people taking it out for a clean..

Seals are quite cheap. There's a seal around rocker cover and 4 seals - 1 around each injector. Because injectors had to come out and I don't have experience with them, I gave it to some specialists, they charged me about 200 pounds. By the way I had another leak from oil cooler, I have a video about it.

I had a look in my Sharan, and it looks like a bunch of wires, probably connected to various sensors and components somewhere in the bumper area. The brake fluid level sensor also goes to the same bunch... I my car I don't see any loose wires.

Hi I have p0401 vw cc 2.0tdi 2013 would it need a new egr

@wawayltd

Hi, this code points on restricted flow of gases through EGR. What's causing it - I don't know. Maybe it's just clogged up EGR or even of the pipes and it needs jusr cleaning, or maybe old unit is not good and it's asking for replacement. I can't say, it needs to be seen.

Does EGR clear up if driven regularly on the motorway?

@wawayltd

It stays pretty clean with this design (no oil, only soot). Motorway is pretty good for giving it a good burn. However, sometimes if it starts failing cleaning may not help, even if you take it out and physically clean it.

Hello, i think i have an EGR problem. I have intermittent code P0403 [172]. The engine starts and then shuts down immediately, i think the EGR is stock closed. Do you have any idea how to force it open just to be able to take the car home and work on it?

@wawayltd

Жыл бұрын

The code points at EGR circuit malfunction. I think if it's stuck in "closed", the car should work (some people blank it), but with fault codes. It's harder to start when it's stuck open - it will misfire especially when cold. Not sure if there's a way to do something without getting there.

Of course with the power of video editing it looks quick and easy in the video. But there's lots left behind the scene 😉 I don't mind playing with my car, or do something that I'm really confident on another, but I don't want to work with random people cars in case if I mess up.
