If I can do it, so can you! I am just trying to keep my car in the best possible shape.
My regular work is nothing to do with cars or engineering. Hopefully it will be helpful to other people having similar problems or if you enjoy somewhat scientific approach to working on cars!
Car is Peugeot Partner 2007, 1.6HDi.

Many thanks indeed for the good words, much appreciated! Funnily enough, the first time I ever did my EGR valve, I also rounded one of the bolts, hence the part number in the description of the video. Thanks again.
I've been trying to figure out something specific with the HDI/TDCI engines. Can't seem to find any info though, haven't been able to find anything on your channel about it either... So we both know how dirty the 1.6 HDI gets, question is; how can we clean the valves that the intake feeds? I've seen a few vids with other cars, whereby there is a larger hole, about the size of a custard cream/bourbon biscuit, but the HDI ones seem as big as maybe a £2 coin. The most popular method I see is a walnut clean. Sadly I don't have a drive or a compressor, only a high volume air gun. I have seen people spray, brush with a gentle bristle brush and then vacuum out the crud, so that's probably my option, but I wanted to see if there are any resources to potentially help. Would be good if you could perhaps do a video on cleaning the valves from the engine, as I reckon they'd be very grimy!
I bet they will be very grimy. Yeah, I will have to think about doing one of these, although work and so on other commitments, might be a bit. Nevertheless, many thanks indeed for the comment and suggestion. Noted!
Great video, thanks! The part looks like new after you cleaned it! I have one question, if you don't mind: is using water okay? Won't it cause rust? I thought you might use something like kerosene instead.?
Yes, I now use just water and dishwashing liquid. There is nothing that will rust in the bottom part of the EGR valve as most components are aluminium or steel alloy. Do not of course put any electronic components in water, like the top part. You could use diesel for example, but dishwashing liquid is as good in removing carbon. Now it depends on how much carbon there is, as it may be a little bit more difficult to remove. A toothbrush will help.
hie,, My car peugeot 3008 1.6 ltr is changing from automatic to manual when driving. it start to show parking brake faulty, abs braking system faulty and then change to manual showing gear box faulty on the dashbord. what will be the problem? there is a friction again when changing gears from 1 to 2 i am suspecting gear box oil needs top up,
17:23 Spider walking down the pipe! On the lower right corner... 🙂 Tip: "glue" the gasket into the EGR body. i.e. a minimal amount of silicone gasket will hold it in place. To avoid the "blooper". ;-)
Too late for my trucks brakes but will have to redo them soon as I have to replace a rotor due to wear on in it due to this no doubt. Did not have correct pins. But thanks to this Video o know what it needs. Thanks
I do not think it matters that much, but when I was doing mine could not quite work out which one is where, so spend quite a bit of time trying to work it out, hence the video, in case it helps someone else.
Unfortunately, there is no link for the bracket, I do not think anyone would be bothered to produce one of these. I did it myself from a piece of metal, shaped it with pliers. THe specs are in the description of the video. One could probably do a thinner metal than mine.
@@LabonyKitchen It should work, I used a normal steel piece from B&Q and just bent it with pliers to shape. Any 2-4mm steel will work. It wil rust of course due to the repeated heat, but it works without a problem.
Great video mate.... like your deadication... looks like same engine in my fiesta... was running Japanese cars last 10 years.. so my pug knowlage ends with the 205 😂
Well you did put that question to bed "Do these off the shelf sprays work?" The answer is a resounding "NO!". I really really wished they had doe a half responsible job like a carb cleaner does on a Carburetor. I can handle manually cleaning the valve as part of a routine maintenance. But the idea of spraying IN BETWEEN SERVICES WOUD HAVE BEEN IDEAL. So I'll just add that task to the maintenance schedule.
Hello, I have a Volkswagen with a 1.9 TDI engine, and I wanted to know how the fake mann hummel behaves with the original filter, and if in my case it is recommended to remove the bottom piece and cover with plastic like yours, thank you.
I cannot quite say if the "fake" behaves exactly in the same way, probably. I removed it as I thought it adds a little bit of a restriction and the purpose as a valve for putting back the oil in the sump is not done in my case.
You can have it permanently plugged in to the car battery, but you should not start the car with it connected. If it is conected it might burn some of the electronics. You can have a switch or something if you want to break the connection when starting the car.
I think I have to do something similar I have changed the turbo actuator and position sensor on peugeot 1.6 HDI but fault code is not going away but vehicle is driving very good again would you be able to explain how I make changes please with PP2000 thank you
@@moremoleculesThank you for the reply this is a position sensor to activate the the turbo wastegate or turbo actuator I've been told after fitting these parts you need to recalibrate the parameters in the ECU similar to what you explained with the EGR valve
@@scotmorley8526 I suspect that is the 110bhp 1.6HDi as my 92bhp does not have the position sensor. It should be somewhere there in the menu of the PP2000. Unfortunately mine does not have, so difficult to show with PP2000/Lexia.
Awesome video, wished I found it a couple of weeks earliers! Just installed a Mishimoto on a diesel Mercedes ML270, definitely not comfortable with those values. Nevertheless, the main problem I've been having is that I'm getting oil from the "out" port. Tried it the other way around, the "in" port throught the bronze mesh, and was getting better results, any ideas why? Anyway after watching your video, i think i will remove it completely
Well, not too sure why it is gathering oil on the out port. THe oil catch cans are not 100% efficient for separating the oil, so you will always get some on th eout port.
No worries, just be careful with where in the code says HASH it needs to be substituted with # and MORE_THAN and LESS_THAN with >= and <=. It was just that youtube does not allow these symbols.
I know this is a old video but I’d say it’s more of an educational lesson than ,what can we clean our EGR with ,the real subject really is aluminium manufactures coat the aluminium but people are unaware of this for many reason but just recently 2024 my chip pan which is coated with fix grease ,but manufactures coat with a “something” I decide to soak it overnight in Soda crystals and wonderful job of cleaning the grease started off as shiny aluminium but now it’s a dull colour electric fryer ,wonder at first to whether your still able to eat the fried items ,we cautiously eat and found no difference in taste - but a 2nd round in years to come maybe all another story.
For the gearbox I used Total Transmission Gear 8 75W80. Not too sure what the spec is, but can be found on the web. From my video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-95QarTgx4mI.html
I'm not too sure of the 100 or 150 are a bad choice. Obviously space is a bit of a problem for the 200, but I always thought the 150 or even 100 are probably as good. The 200 is built for much larger engines than mine, so who knows, it might be that the smaller ones are better filtering for smaller engines.
Good video and very good point. However wrong conclusion. The main thing is that, spraying this staff to air intake has nothing to do with EGR cleaning. Simply because EGR is sucking gas from the exhaust. It is the same as treating the haemorrhoid by applying ‘Anusol ointment’ to your throat. Try to spray it in to hose that connects valve to the exhaust pipe.🤔
Not quite correct. The spray is made to clean the EGR when spraying it to the air intake. I only followed what is written on the can. The stuff is supposed to get burnt and whatever is left from the burnt gasses goes to the EGR, hence some of the things inside should go to the EGR.
I cannot say anything why other people have pulled their sump. I did it, because it was leaking and corroded throughout. So, while I had it pulled out I measure how much oil was there left. That should not deserve a "christ sake" in my opinion.
