Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- We decided to take project Vivaro's EGR valve out and clean it, whilst it was out I wanted to find out how easy it was to delete and if it run ok like it.
Here is what we did.

I have to warn you that I have no formal automotive training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk!
Excellent video - Thankyou! - I am not a mechanic but this job looked pretty straight forward as the only fluid involved is the cleaning fluid :-) I gave it a go. My EGR was really clogged up and after a thorough clean it's back in and working so much better. From start to finish it took me 2h20mins as a novice.. Local workshop was going to charge me €600...so Thankyou for sharing!
Thanks, no problems, glad it helped.
Cheers Larcs 👍.
I have used and recommended STP 5 in 1 and seem to get wonderful results 👍
I've never heard of that, I'll have a look 👍.
Cheers Larcs
Rotating my EGR resulted in a much better tickover on my Trafic 1.9
That's good news 👍
Interesting about your and others comments regarding any difference in feel. I blanked off my EGR on an 01 VW T4 2.5 TDi and had a huge reduction in turbo lag. It felt slower as there was no surge at 1800rpm but pulled smoothly throughout the rev range
Thanks 😃.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Well done 👍 good video. Straight to the point and very helpful.
Thanks 👍
Really need to poke the hole behind the Egr valve that goes to the turbo solonoid they block all the time. Vaccum hose inlet behind Egr at the back of the manifold
Thanks, I'll have a look at that when I get a chance 👍.
Cheers Larcs
When disassembling such slightly contaminated assemblies, I spill the joints with an easily penetrating lubricant, such as WD40. Then disassembly is much easier. And when assembling, I process it with an aerosol or plastic silicone lubricant, then the assembly is easier and the chances of keeping the ears are much higher :)
Thanks
Hiya,I cleaned my egr valve,(2006 vivaro 1.9 diesel,was totally clogged with crud),and it ran perfect for about a month then got the hesitation and stutter back so decided to fit new egr🙂 again it was running like a sowing machine for a fortnight then went back to coughing and farting again,once it does pick it's revs up it goes like the clappers,can't pull anymore hair out cos I've got none left Lol,any ideas or suggestions
Sounds like a right pain in the backside. If it's the same as mine, have you tried rotating it (to do the delete) and see if it plays up then? If it still does, it could be a different issue. Good luck sorting it out 🤞.
I'll give it a blast and get back to you😭thanks👍ps,love your vids☺️👍
@@JulesW-qi1od Thanks, good luck
Hi again,tried the delete on my vivaro egr which proved no difference at all,good news tho,while faffing around under the bonnet,( took the air filter housing out),on replacing it I forgot to plug in the MAF sensor,what do you know,the revs picked up and Ran a lot better,not perfect but runnable,when I noticed I'd not plugged MAF sensor in I slipped it back in and it went back to running rough again,fitted new MAF sensor and now runs better than ever, doesn't miss a beat and runs like a sowing machine☺️, love my vivaro again now lol,hope this helps anyone with same symptoms,thanks for being a great platform👍👍
PS, I put the egr valve back in its proper position. ☺️👍
Thank you for good video. I own a 07 plate vivaro 2.0cdti, when I start engine revs go up and down and engine makes a noises till gets worm.
It's not a injectors as specialist check them.
Do you think my egr valve is faulty?
It could be that it just needs a clean?
Great video mate keep up the good work
Thanks 👍
You plugged that solenoid back in. Why ? Whappens if you don't plug it back in ? Anything different ??? Thanks.
I think it brings on the engine management light if you run it without it connected.
@@LarcsWorkshop OK thanks.
@@jackspratt4343 👍
My EGR was completely blocked. Changed it for EGR Billet blank from ebay that still uses top. No dashboard light to cancel.
That's great 👍.
Cheers Larcs
So do you need to inform the ecu that it’s blanked or cancel anything by computer hook uo
Interesting video.
Just wondering was there a fault code saying your egr was faulty to make you take it out to clean it
There were no fault codes, just wanted to take it apart and have a look really.
Cheers Larcs 👍
What was the purpose of rotating the solenoid 180 degrees when you refitted it?
Rotating it deletes the function of the EGR without bringing up a fault code.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Hello. Enjoying your very detailed vlogs. Can i ask if removing, cleaning and replacing the egr valve throws up any codes. Thanks.
Thanks, mine didn't bring up any codes but I didn't turn on the ignition on with the egr unplugged. I don't know if that made any difference?
Cheers Larcs 👍
@@LarcsWorkshop Hi. Is there any need to disconnect the battery before starting this job.
@@ianwilmshurst2823 I didn't disconnect the battery, and I had no issues. Again though, I didn't turn the ignition on.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Que pena que no esté traducido al ESPAÑOL las imágenes ablan por si sola 👍

What is the length of the rear of the van? Looked online and I'm getting between 210cm and 245cm. I'm wanting to buy a van to move objects about 240cm in length so if I can do so in one of these then perfect, don't want to have to buy anything bigger.
It's 2840mm from the closed back doors to the step below the seats, about 2600mm from the doors to the back/top of the seats (I have no bulkhead though). It's 1260mm between the rear wheel tubs. Mine is a LWB and I've had 2.4m worktops on the floor easy👍.
Cheers Larcs
Hi Anglan, I own a Trafic and surprisingly compact van on the road in terms if its cargo space, here is the load length capacity of them: Length: swb: 2,400mm lwb: 2,800mm
Always aim for the LWB, Sheets of 8x4 plywood have no problem what so ever fitting in my van and they are roughly 2440mm at there longest length. Also to note the bulkhead is at an angle so you lose a bit of cargo space with the taller the load
Merci pour vôtre video 👍alors moi je vais vous dire je Nettoie la vanne E.G.R. tous les 100.000km je pense que ses pas mal
Thanks 👍
Very helpful thank you
Thanks 😁.
Cheers Larcs 👍
So if you just blank it off would you need to inform the ecu
Mine is a 2004 and it didn't show up any errors.
Cheers Larcs
@@LarcsWorkshop hi I tried for a few days this on my van while ago. No gain in power. Actually bit loss as it could not get to correct work temperature in cylinder. And bit more black smoke too. I turned back to correct position - egr. Now engine works better
@@edligs Sorry to hear that.
Mines been unplugged for about 4 hours and it hasn't even noticed. Mine was an aftermarket one, poorly clocked with 1 bolt and clearly leaking. So I stuck it back as it should be and it wouldn't rev past 1400rpm. Unplugged it and it's behaving fine. No idea why it doesn't care 🤷♂️
I couldn't see anything no light
Just kidding 😂 I might have to have a go soon
Thanks for the effort
Thanks 🤣, no problems 😃.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Like your videos can u please tell me where's the crash impact sensor is on the van
Thanks, I'm not 100% sure, but if it's got sensors I've got an idea they're either side of the radiator? I think the air bag module is in the centre console behind a panel next to the clutch pedal. If it's got wet they can play up.
Cheers Larcs 👍
@@LarcsWorkshop ok thanks I found the module
Just no sign of crash sensors
I had bumper, lights,grill all off .nothing
@@rjccattley 👍
@@rjccattley must be all done in the module then?
Great vid, I'm about to clean mine (and get rid of about 10 litres of water that got in the air filter box) .. just wondering, why did you put it back in rotated?
Thanks, to stop the exhaust gases recirculating through the inlet and clogging it up.
Cheers Larcs
@@LarcsWorkshop Ah I see, sort of like blanking it off then. Thanks!
@@ChrisOrganic yep👍
@@ChrisOrganic that’s how you blank it off.
@@LarcsWorkshop Any problems, engine light?
What you need is a Chinese diesel heater to warm your workshop! 💡
Very tempting, thanks.
Where's the gasket?
Mine didn't have one.
I have the same bolt missing lol
😂 must be by design 😂
That bottom bolt is hard to get back in/easy to drop into engine bay
9:30 you sure you didn't film this bit before you took it off? lol
Ha ha, I have no idea what you mean?😉😉😁
@@LarcsWorkshop understandable. :P
@@areyouavinalaff 👍
altering the egr is illegal as you are changing the emissions ,,,and as yours is a electric valve then it does have an effect on the ecu ,,a good egr cleaner does the job ,i have to clean mine after every trip to the uk as it clogs and goes into limp mode after 5000 kilometres with out fail ,and strangely enough always at the very same point of my journey grrrr
Yeah, put it back as found. Mine wasn't that dirty.
Cheers Larcs 👍
oh No its illegal!! oh no we must not do that then! pfffft get a grip fella! one man tells you somthing is illegal and you bow down! do you really think your egr valve has a affect on the enviroment with india iran etcc burning tyres daily? anythink i can do to improve my engine running better without getting clogged up i will do. end of
