My vehicle had the valve jammed open and would not start. I have now removed the valve and you can actually see black lumps jamming the valve open. Apart from that, it is in good condition so I will clean and re-fit. Few points that would make it easier if anyone is going to attempt this. 1. Spray the engine cover nuts and those holding the bracket on the right hand end with WD40 some time before you start to make them easier to remove. 2. Remove air filter cover and air filter to give better access on right hand side. 3. Use old shoe laces to pull pipes and wiring out of the way at various points in the process. 4. The bottom fixing on the right hand bracket had to be undone from underneath, too difficult to do from the top. 5. The video does not show the hose clamp on the lower side being removed. On my vehicle it is a crimp type. It was very difficult to undo, even when the valve is turned upside down. It had to be prised apart and will need to be replaced. The whole process of removing the valve has taken a long time due to the very restricted access. Just getting the engine cover out was difficult even after all the fixings were removed. Note there are two poppers on the engine cover as well as the two nuts. The lower halves of these are likely to be loose once you pull the cover off. Make sure you locate them and keep them safe for re-assembly. Will post a further update when I have it back together. Many thanks for posting the video, was very useful.
Used this Video to replace mine. Woeked very well, although was tough getting the cooling pipes off. Good Video! Hope it fixed my P0299 error. Thanks!!! 😍
Really useful mate. Thanks for showing the egr valve once you'd taken it out. I wouldn't have known which way the valve was meant to move. Hopefully I can get mine unstuck with some wd40 and a bit of persuasion. Maybe save myself £50 👍
Hi would a suck shut egr valve cause like a diesel knock ,have a transit custom that sounds like the injectors are knocking but the are original ford replacement, sometimes the van will all of a sudden drive quiet like it has a petrol engine in it the after about 5 miles will start to knock again around 2000rpm under acceleration??
Good video, its gave me the ability to take mine off our relay 2010 van. Only trouble is the valve is in the closed position and i cant get to clean it inside all round. How can i get the vale to open. ?
Hi, just had EGR replaced on Citroen relay 2013 2.2, drove 5 miles now limp mode, codes saying charge pressure regulator, any advice much appreciated, thanks
Did you use a genuine OEM replacement? My van had the EGR changed last year before I bought it but its hesitating and missing under acceleration. Runs fine and pulls like a train with it disconnected. I'm inclined to think its a nasty chinese pattern part problem...
That's what going on mine. Wouldn't start this morning, been smoking at idle and when you blast it it's ok, no smoke. I tried a long run in 3rd, but still comes back to smoke after a while.
Hi, such a helpful video, thank you. When you disconnect the various pipes do any of them have liquid in them that you need to plug? Like when you remove the coolant, or are they all empty? Thanks
Would a blocked or jammed egr valve stop the van from running ? My van starts but no response after that and cuts out . Can't find a problem when it's plugged in to the computer
Yes a stuck open EGR valve can cause the vehicle not to start. Partially stuck open EGR valve can cause rough engine idle and stalling due to extra air flow and improper mixture
thanks for the informative video. ive managed to remove all but one of the nut/bolts, the 8mm bolt is spinning the fixed square nut behind it. Any ideas how to stop the nut moving whilst i unscrew the bolt? Many thanks
@@angel3067 Yes i got a new bolt and a normal nut that fitted in the gap and then held it still. The friction stopped the nut spinning once a bit tight and i could fully tighten. Wouldnt have been able to do that using the rusty ones in it
Hi , have a peugeot boxer from 2006 , my engine stops after some secondes when i am stationaire of when i dont give gas .. Above 2000rpm it dont fall out should it also be egr or the valve from air? Thanks nice video
how are things eddie in clare i have a egr codes coming up in my 2007 peugeot compass avantgarde 2.2 hdi camper is this the same engine any help appreciated i am going to attempt to remove it but never did one before only went last weekend checked with diagnostic thanks for any help are you in munster area thanks eddie
@@ORileysAutos thanks only question is which side is the egr on looking into engine bay is it right side of engine that's all I really need to find out thanksillion
This code is specifically for the electronic side. The voltage controls the valve that opens and when it can't open from clogging or damage it triggers this code. Blanked EGR usually triggers P0401 code.
Have you got video on the following codes mate p0490/p2290/p0118/p1103/what do you this my issue is with the first code I asked you about thank for the reply have you got a Facebook page I'll add you if ok @@ORileysAutos
Replaced EGR valve with a new one , still not start ?? Trying to find the crankcase position sensor any idea where it is ,, please thanks in anticipation ron
