VW Golf 2.0TDi -- EGR Removal, Clean & Refit
VW Golf 2.0TDi -- EGR Removal, Clean & Refit
I had an oil leak between my EGR valve and the anti shudder valve in the intake. I remove both components, clean, replace gaskets and refit.
It's quite a fiddly job but can be done with some patience.
If you're planning to do the same you will need:
Tripple square / spline socket set (EGR pipe)
Torx socket set(EGR valve)
Hex socket set (Intake removal)
3/8" ratchet & extensions (EGR valve)
3/8" wobble joint (EGR valve)
Philips screwdriver (Intake removal)
Flat screwdriver (Wiring clips)
Torque wrench (EGR valve)
Pliers (Intake removal)
7mm socket (Boost hose)
Torque settings:
EGR to intake manifold (8 Nm)
Anti-Shudder valve to EGR (10 Nm)
EGR pipe to EGR (20 Nm)

Very nice video , good information properly filmed with clear narration Good work
Dude those valves were perfectly clean! 😉 I'm having a P2111 on the throttle valve.
Trabajo bien hecho amigo y nos servirá de ayuda 👌👌
just have to say, wow, what a good video
3:11, 4:12 You made this video more fun.Thanks for sharing.
The stainless pipe that brings the EGR gasses to the valve was blocked on mine nearly halfway through. I wasted years debating whether to get an EGR delete but all I needed to do was wait and let it delete itself. I found way less muck in the intake as I had expected. It was pretty much all in the plumbing leading to the throttle valve, the diffuser, and the throttle valve itself. I have a CAYC engine so I can't touch my EGR valve without some serious dismantling.
Great job and thank you for sharing!
nice work and thanks .I am wondering how the n18, n75 and n239 valves and the round valve on the egr work and what their duties are. Do you have any information?

Hi, do you recommend getting the EGR removed from a 1.6tdi golf and stage 1 remapped? I have had EGR problems a few times as I commute locally and on short journeys, I was wondering if a stage 1 remap would put too much strain on the engine? Thank you
@ToolTimeWithTom

From my understanding, EGR is only really utilised under part throttle cruise application. I don't think a remap will affect your EGR function, if you currently have issues I imagine you still will have issues but I don't think it will get worse. But not an expert on the matter.

If the EGR is deleted or mapped closed you won't get any recycled exhaust gases in the intake but you'll still get oil deposits from the PCV system unless that runs directly into a catch can. It's certainly worth cleaning out, the intake manifolds can get gummed up too.

Absolutely, it might be stuck open due to carbon build up, definitely worth cleaning. I think the EGR and the DPF work together so having a non functional EGR might reduce the lifespan of the DPF

Ideally you'll need new seals, I think I linked them in the video description, hopefully the links still work. If your seals are still flexible and not damaged, you could reuse them I think. If you want to "blank" the EGR you can't just put a blank plate in or unplug it as will throw a code. You'd have to get it mapped out.

These emissions systems are utter dross and only serve to make cars use more fuel and need more (very expensive) maintenance. If the DPF needs replacing it’s well into 4 digits to replace. But some countries are very strict about this sort of thing so be careful *edit* Don’t know about American tuners but tons of European mechanics can simply remove the DPF/EGR from the ECU mapping without touching the power output or anything, although many owners opt for a stage 1 tune to get more power

Diesel engines don't use throttle bodies as petrol engines do, so far as I can tell in the workshop manual it's referred to as an anti shudder valve. On this variant of the 2.0tdi it is indeed the EGR valve, it's not mounted to the cooler on the back of the engine as it is on the 1.6tdi and some variants of the 2.0. Guess I got lucky with this engine variant (CBAB) in terms of service.

@@ToolTimeWithTom Yes, mine's a 2.0TDI CBBB engine - EGR above ASV at the front! Yeah!
Dam can we just soak it in diesel to clean it lol

Nope not in this engine configuration, they're stacked together on the front. On the 1.6 and some other 2.0s they're down the back mounted directly on the cooler which is what you're referring to
This is NOT the EGR its an air shut off valve

That's not the EGR. The EGR is located at the back of the engine below the exhaust and directs hot exhaust gasses through its water cooled radiator back to the intake during certain conditions e.g. Cruising or decelerating

On the 1.6tdi the EGR valve is mounted on the EGR cooler on the back of the engine as described. On the 2.0tdi in this video the EGR valve is on the front of the engine but the cooler is still on the back of the engine.
That is not the egr. The egr is behind the engine my friend.

It's being the engine one the 1.6tdis, on the 2.0tdis it's at the front. You can see the EGR @14:02.

I've got a 2.0TDI CBBB engine - EGR at front just above the ASV. Thank God for that!
