mine is a VW Polo 1.4 tdi and all the pipes and egr valve is in the same place as your 1.9 engine. this helped a lot, thank you

I removed and cleaned my EGR valve on my VW BKD engine. Mr muscle and a pressure washer made it come up like new.

Thank you so much - I removed and cleaned my EGR valve today and your video was a great help. It's like a new car now! Next mission is to tackle cleaning the Turbo.....

do you remember how long it took you from start to finish?

Lifesaver, I was getting "Engine Workshop!" (Mk1 Octavia "face-lift" 2004 model 1.9tdi) and flashing glow plug symbol, thought this was worth a shot so tried it. EGR was completely immobilised by crud buildup. Thorough clean (using oven cleaner as it happens), dry, touch of grease on the moving components, checked the vacuum diaphragms and replaced it. 9nce engine had warmed up the warning stopped and performance and fuel economy markedly improved.

Thanks for this it was very helpful in cleaning my sons 2007 Audi A3 although his is a different variant with far more bolts to remove the order of the bolt removal under the EGR remained the same - very useful when ya can't see a thing

that is an awesome great Video to show how to clean the EGR!

Thanks for this! I tried this on my VW jetta mk 5 1.9 TDi. Before cleaning, dirty exhaust fumes outside and inside the car, also some loss of power. Afterwards, she purred like a kitten. Had extra power, cleaner fumes.

Absolute Massive cheers for these videos , I have owned my Golf Mk4 for 3 years since passing my test , I really want to learn how to maintain it properly myself and your videos are really clear and concise, you sort of answer the questions I have in my mind as I am watching ! Cheers n have a good Xmas 👍

u answered my question....re: boost hose clips, I think sometimes they put the clips on before pushing the hoses in, I'm replacing the intercooler to inlet manifold piping on my golf.....for the money Ive spent I could almost have got a darkside developments uprated intercooler with all the bloody pipe work!

Thanks for a great and detailed video. I cleaned the EGR on my Golf mk 4 TDI yesterday.(I had to order tools from USA). There was only 1-2 mm of oily black muck on the inside. I was surprised that after cleaning there was a big increase in low end torque and acceleration afterwards. Hoping for reduced emissions also

All good an proper to just pull out the egr valve an clean it, if you want better response an reliability out of your turbo deisel engine, I suggest to pull the inlet manifold, intercooler out as well an clean it at the same time. Did it to my hilux 3.0l turbo diesel after I did a full Inlet cleanout, I fitted a catch can, I suggest getting one fitted after you do a full inlet cleanout.

What was the issue you had to diagnose or necessitate the cleaning of the EGR valve. I have done this job several times and I always drop the bolts plus my VW dealer doesnt make it easy as they have removed the parts dept and opened a Parts dept at a different location but only to trade! So getting any parts even those rubber o rings,/gaskets even as is customary I drop a bolt as I am a tad ham fisted due to no index finger, that is a mission to get.

Is there any gasket between EGR and the pipes?

Hi thanks for video my golf 5 1.9tdi Has fitted with egr cooler on egr valve do I have to do the same processes to get it clean or different way any advice pls cos I know the egr need clean badly as it has fsh by vw and surely vw not clean the egr valve!!

@RedlineRevs

7 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for commenting. You don't need to clean the EGR cooler, that just diverts coolant to the exhaust gases going into EGR to cool them down a bit. And you're right, VW wouldn't bother to clean an EGR valve but would likely charge you for a new one when it inevitably fails.

Very useful thanks. On an Audi A3 tdi would the asv cause the engine to knock when switched off? Thanks.

Never showed the results of the cleaned EGR??

so that spray you used wont help you enough? better option is to remove and clean?

Just did this on a VW TdI. These engines suffocate themselves and in the long run, they than pollute and consume more fuel than necessary because of the wear. Ingenuity and complexity at its finest. Thx politicians and environmentalists! May you inhale your own farts!

hey guys. i have a audi a4 2.0, and i get white smoke somethimes, not all the time, my oil level and water level are ok....i have only e lambda sensor error. could it be from the egr or the lambda sensor?

cool

Were you experience any difficulties then? ie: limp mode/ loss of power...

Yeah best way to clean it is to let it sit in a diesel bath, only the metal part for about 15 minutes to sock then take it out with a copper brush and clean it well. Also the seat of the egr valve needs good brushing also.

hey mate if the egr valve is broken will the car start? my golf wont start and i have checkef everything but the egr valve thanks David

I've seen some people go the whole hog, and remove the air intake manifold also, and use Mr Muscle to clean that too (although you used EGR cleaner, and I understand you CAN use brake cleaner also?). Pretty sure I've seen people literally soak the egr valve in brake cleaner, rather than just spraying it (which might have been easier than what you appeared to do?)
