Got news for you the egr is not what’s .putting all that buildup in the intake. It’s the pvc system that sucks the oily air directly into the intake tube and blows it through the intercooler leaving oil all over it then right up to the intake which has the egr valve on it. When the oil filled air hit the hot exhaust in the egr it cooks and hardens. Removing the egr is a good thing but you need to close off the pvc system also. Just put a small filter on the cam cover where the hose is and you have it done right.
The egr is not used to burn again the exhaust gases, it is used to lower the temperature in the combustion chamber in order to generate less nitrogen oxides (not only pollutants but also dangerous for health). Finally, the MIL (malfunction indicator light) comes on because the ECU detects an excess of polluting emissions that may be due to a fault in: - Oxygen sensor - Injectors - Spark plugs (gasoline) - Catalyst - EGR - FAP - Mass air flow sensor - RPM sensor - Camshaft position sensor among others
@@archiebf4524 Sure Have you ever seen a fryer with egr? Seriously now. The use of vegetable oil and also coal dust as fuel was already done by Rudolf Diesel in his first engines (1893/97). Nothing new. But the EGR valve was designed for vehicles with engines that use the combustion of hydrocarbons for their operation. Discussing whether it is better to use vegetable oils/biodiesel or gas oil is another matter.
The simplest thing is to have TWO EGR valves: Get a second hand EGR valve from a scrapyard and cable tie it to something secure. Unplug the pipe and plug it into the "new" EGR valve. This EGR valve will operate, making the ECU think everything is ok while your original EGR is inoperative - and NO dashboard light. Don't forget to blank off the original EGR.
@@billguyan1913 How did you squeezed word "simple" in this discription its Wonder ;)! How did you finde space for another EGR, you are a Magition, idmit it ;)!
I tried this simple trick and well before i came across this video but for me the whole idea was to keep the engine internals cleaner by eliminating the soot from the exhaust to come back into contact with the oil thereby making it mukky, but what i noticed first after doing that was the engine ran quite hotter than usual and it smoked a lot more plus im not a fan of the engine mil, so i put everything bank and what i do now is regularly clean my egr and i noticed that even if i do it once every year, it doesnt clog up like i see in the videos, just a light spray of mineral terpentine and a rub with a dust cloth does the trick.
You found it! EGR is not only trouble, it has his purpose, to cool exhaust gases and thus reduce NOx emissions. On my 94 Audi, makes no difference, but in modern engines.... naa!
@@CRBN74 Wait what? With a normal functioning EGR there is an EGR cooler. You are taking the heat out of the exhaust and putting it into the coolant/ cylinder head... So it's actually heating the cylinder head, where as if you took the EGR and cooler out, the heat would go out the exhaust.
@@zefzone-215 The EGR system works by returning a small portion of exhaust gas to the engine's combustion chambers through the intake manifold, lowering combustion temperatures and therefore reducing the amount of NOx emitted. The EGR valve is the main component of the EGR system and it's normally closed. What you mention is to cool the exhaust gases being admitted to the intake to improve the volumetric efficiency, similar to what an intercooler does on turbine compressed air. Lowering combustion temperature is the function of an EGR system. It's worthless to discuss it. It's why it is used as a way to reduce NOx emissions witch are cancerous.
@@CRBN74 You didn't have to explain EGR and NOx. I wrench on cars, I'm fully aware. Furthermore, you are wrong. Atmospheric air is cooler than the cooled recirculated exhaust (ie. if you removed the EGR altogether). There are plenty of TDI forums suggesting moving to a higher thermostat because their engine ran so cool without an EGR system. Furthermore it is kind of is worth discussing because you have the fundamentals wrong. The EGR works to reduce emissions because it's recirculating inert exhaust gas into the intake, a small amount of combustion gases that lack oxygen reduce the combustion temperature. Introducing recirculated exhaust gases that have been brought down to coolant temp (190F) and introduced into the intake is not a "cooling effect" for combustion.
@@zefzone-215 you have no clue on what are you talking about dont you ? The reason why the engine may run cooler when you remove the egr its beacause thermostat wont let the engine overheat by stayin longer in open position and with the time this will stres the shit out the cooling system which will have to work way harder than usual. EGR does help in maintaing an optimal operating temperature for the engine.
Dont listen to all these negative comments Sir. These things does not lower emissions, it increases emissions and is killing off the Engine, slowly but surely. Nice video just tell me how did it work for your engine?
But you also need to clean the intake manifold due to carbon deposits.Otherwise,the airflow will decrease because the runners will become tighter. This happens when you use poor quality diesel and the quantity of injected fuel is not correct.
Get her professionally mapped, nothing mad just an ECO map. Get the DPF deleted also and clean the throttle body regularly. You'll be amazed at the different in performance.
I’m sure most of the old 1.9 tdi PD engines don’t have DPF’s, I could be wrong though. Most VW’s after the Mk4 Golf don’t really interest me but I can appreciate them.
Dpf came in after pd engines 2006 upwards this method he is doing works cause it’s vacuum operated but it’s better to map it out so the ecu doesn’t look for the problem hence the engine management light
@@unknownaccount3111 I did this on my Passat 2003 1.9TDI and ECU is fine whit it, no engine light, no error codes on my WAG OBD reader, engine now works smoth. When I got time I'm gonna take EGR out and clean it properly and conect again. EGR is helping reducing NOX gas from engine, NOX is very harmful to lungs, its very cancerogenic unfortunatly. EGR is useful in Winter, helps engine to warm up much faster. And some 1.9TDI have DPF its a BLS motor code.
@@ErikTheVikingMechanic on my 2002 AWX we deleted the EGR cause it was somking very badly (probably bc the vacuum solenoid N18 went wrong), it has not given me any codes for this
There is a much easier method. Simply insert a steel ball inside the tube, push it in 2cm and put the tube back in the actuator. Even better if you do it near the vacuum supply and you will avoid any vacuum loss is case you have a leaking solenoid or tube. I did it in my B4 Audi 80TDI to solve a solenoid leak stealing vacuum from brake servo. I would have changed the valve but it's an exotic model that i found no replacement.
Have you never heard of engine scavenging? You will lose hp modifying your exhaust. Car companies spend millions in research. If it was better then they would do it. Leave the vehicle stock, it will have a better resell value.
@@jasonk795 obviously you loose hp because gases need to push through the exhaust. exhaust is there just to dim the noise. there is no better exhaust than no exhaust in terms of hp. comment was an irony to deleting emission control devices
The earth is a planet, which tolerates endless air pollution. Therefore delete the EGR instead of cleaning it and instead of taking care of your engine.
The main objective here is to keep that plate (flapper) in the egr from closing so by him plugging the vacuum line does that however he didn't address the PVC line that routs unburnt fuel and exhaust gases being routed back into the intake so get a catch can that receives those glasses from out of the PVC filters them and then routed the filtered gassed into the intake and it's inexpensive and easy to do unlike dismantling everything to accomplish this. Look for a video for catch can install. This is what I did.
Mate thats the most fucked up way of doing it ive ever seen. Just buy an EGR Block Plate,its 2 bolts on the side of the intake manifold, slip plate in replace bolts your done. If you want to keep the mill light off, you just need to splace a resistor into the harness
I have information "emissions garage".is that the same like "emissions workshop"??i have check on the desk and the 16485 P0101 bad on VCDS.please help!thanks!
First of all if you want to get rid of egr instead of cleaning it read carefully what it really does. And never do anything like this guy. In theory you can end up with blowed off engine head. If after reading and understanding what EGR does you still want to get rid of it (you want to be stupid street racer who doesn't get petrol car, or you just didn't get what egr does, or you want to get rid of egr in petrol car) YOU SHOULD GET TO THE MECHANIC. Because egr isn't only pipe or vacuum tube. It's programmed in your engine control unit. And that unit expects it to work. When it's not working eventually ecu will notice it, and best case scenario you end up with lack of power, worse case, really weak engine and praying to get to the nearest garage, worst case (in theory, because i didn't saw that in practice) blown off engine head.
That’s not an EGR delete, it’s simply disabled. And it’s a bad thing, because while you might see a boost in fuel economy, you’ll also increase emissions.
@@i_gomezg you’re right, we all share this bubble around a rock in the universe; I tend to hope everyone here with me doesn’t have a problem doing their part to make it better for everyone, including future generations.
Omg just do the delete right and buy the right parts. And you need to actually remove the intake and clean it. With fire if need be. It isn't hard. Also install a race downpipe to remove 🐈 converter.
This will void any warranty and defect your car, and put more pollutants in the atmosphere where someone else has to breathe, Yes, the EGR system retards the engine slightly but there is a reason for this, if you don't know what you're doing leave it alone.
What a crock...LOL...LMAO.... you didn't delete the EGR in 2 minutes. You only disconnected the vacuum actuator feed. The tape you used wasn't "duct tape." To delete the EGR you have to remove the riser pipe from the exhaust to EGR body. There are block-off plates available. The block-off plates are made of steel.
Block off plates are used for cars that are tuned, bigger turbo, ease of access behind etc. If you permanently CLOSED a valve on a pipe so it cannot be opened, it functions the SAME as blocking said pipe.
@@sarumanstudio3280 if the egr valve is sooded up in can ruin your engine also if you deleted your cat this is another reason for doing this also depending on the year like the alh it makes it run better i did this on my buddies 2000 alh with cat delete better fuel economy and better bower the bew witch is what this is needs tuned for this to work 100% correctly alh is 99 to 03 bew is 04 to 05.5 for jetta 05.5 06 is brm my motor
i would like to ask a question re-my skoda yeti,when engine is idle and i rev the engine it only revs up to 3000 is this normal ?its a 2013,1.6 tdl diesel.thankyou in advance
EGR is bad, but without the right coding it's even worse. The air mass on the air mass meter now doubles and thus twice as much diesel is injected. It was not thought through and now the particle filter breaks
Better fuel economy isn't actually true. At cruising speed the egr saves fuel as you have a cooler and more lean mixture, it's one of the reasons egr exist but the primary reason being lower temps equals lower oxides of nitrogen, which our ozone doesn't like much.
Here is my problem, after i did this at audi a4 b6 2002 1.9tdi AVB 101CP, no light in board but after 20 km driving the car goes to limp mode..any suggests PLS?
@@MrDim09 I wanted to clean it, cuz im a very carefull guy, but i said "lets take a photo to see how big is the problem before i start to clean it"..and it is clean 100%, not even 5% dirt is there..
Just what everyone needs under the bonnet!!!!!!!! A bolt that belongs to something else 😂😂😂😂 a cable tie that was never supposed to be there in the first place and some electric tape that will go hard and brittle in hot conditions. Also don’t worry about the car saying that the emissions are bad and the light is not a big deal as this will only make the car fail the MOT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Better fuel economy, better acceleration, doesn't mess up your intake manifold and valves with soot and ashes, one less thing to break and replacing it is not very cheap.
baaaaa))))))))))))))) uitativa at the car you see ladies do it… has 197 thousand km after it does it is 187 thousand… the worst failed video)))) )))))))))
The pipe you put a bolt in is the vacuum pipe this is not a egr delete at because the pipe that takes the exhaust gasses back is a metal pipe at the bottom of that egr goes from egr to the engine in order to do a egr delete you need to block the bottom pipe that goes to the engine and then you need to get it remapped so the ecu brain of the car thinks that the egr is still fine so to a delete you need to blank the egr return pipe and if its a newer car then you will need a remap egr delete what have you done is not a delete you just blocked the vacuum pipe so the carbon will still be going through to your engine seemed like you didn't really know what your on about seems like you just made a video for views and at the same time puting other people's vehicles at risk by posting it as this does not work what people do for views these days
I cut mine years ago. Actually, EGR was stuck close, so I just did what he did. No problem. I do have CEL light, and two errors - egr low circulation (as egr is closed) and MAF high flow (as more air, clean air goes in), so I just check with vcds every month or so is there any errors. No problems till today
Mines has been out for about 8 months, I just repeated what I did again as a video so you guys know. The boost pipes, intake are incredibly clean compared to before. When the EGR is in function, it makes this nasty thick crud, and mines got stuck open. Remember, all this is, is an emissions function, without it the car should run just fine.
The purpose of the EGR is to lower combustion temperatures and therefore lower nitrous oxides forming which is a major pollutant. In many countries doing what you did is illeagal and carries a heavy fine. If you want to stop the oil from your PCV valve reaching the inlet manifold then fit a catch can and drain the sump of the can regularly. It is not a perfect system so the sooner we all go electric the better.
Lmao yeah with what power grids are gonna run all those electric cars. Impossible for everyone to have one we don’t have any grids that can get close to the amount of power needed not to mention it isn’t even better for the environment those god awful battery’s and the African slaved adults and kids mining the Colbolt and other minerals for these electric cars. Especially when we get onto the topic of heavy duty vehicles and how we want them to switch Electric it’s just impossible. The government is forcing this electric bullshit so they can have more control more money. They’ll shut are cars off in the next pandemic to force people to stay indoors remember that for when it happens
Look at that shit hole far west (California) they don’t even have the grid for their state to have 35% of people to have a electric car. They shut people’s AC off cuz they use all their grid on your gay little electric 200 mile range worse for the environment vehicles
Not to mention where is the money going in a 80k Tesla you cannot tell me the production cost is anything over 50k the battery maybe 20k max and the independent motors 10-15k each they make a killing off y’all for sure
Not having to drive to work and not producing unnecessary goods may save the planet. But that's not how the store works. We should just keep spending money and buy buy buy
and if you delete EGR there is a chance you'll burn out your turbo quicker due to the excess heat production. Not to mention the health risk middle finger you put into the people on the sidewalk, and behind you in the other car. Thanks, mate. Good job.
Completely wrong: - EGR does not work above ~2000 rpm - gases from exhaust raise the temperature, so not to inject that gasses wil not raise the temperature - the turbo is not involved with EGR I have 2 years with deleted EGR, and no problem.
Don't listen to this clown. You need the EGR system. This will cause other problems. Can't call the tape correctly and those are not wire cutters, it's called a side cutter. This is the difference between a mechanic and an auto technician.
Too good to be true unfortunately, I did this to my pd100 and it eventually blew a hole further down the system, so now I have diesel fumes in my cabin..
After a year of driving with this unplugged I still keep it unplugged because my car goes way better this way. My EGR is clogged and causes performance issues if I leave it on. Also, my I put a small filter on my PVC line so I don't clog my intake.
Deleting the EGR is not a good idea. The new direct injection diesels are designed with the EGR (It is not a clapped on after thought it is part of the engine) to run at lower combustion temperatures. The EGR cools the recirculated gasses and lowers the combustion temperatures in the combustion chambers which are situated in the tops of the pistons. This allows the new Vw engine to achieve a much higher torque (turning power) at lower RPM. Let these combustion temperatures rise and you will soon be back to the days of cracked cyclinder heads and failing pistons, as combustion now takes place in these piston tops and not in the head or above the piston as they used to be. The new engines are 16 valve diesels and so the valves are smaller, which means they can get over heated and cause un timed ignition. You will also lose some of the torque characteristics that enable high gearing these vehicles have. Recirculating exhaust has always been a messy affair, but unfortunately this is how diesels have evolved to comply with emissions. At least once in the life of the car up to 100,000 miles you can expect to replace an EGR, and at the same time remove the inlet manifold and other effected piping etc and steam clean/pressure wash this out also. Lastly it is illegal to delete emissions equipment on vehicles in most countries in the Western world. I myself looked into the deleting of EGR and in my research learned why not to.
never deleted mine as its there for a reason all i did was remove and clean it but was not clogged up even then to get clogged that bad its all down to short journey's , also my leon pd150 is mapped so more heat, the cam issue was resolved years ago yet it crops up and when you look into there issue the car has been deleted also the over run would do my head in
How is the recirculated exhaust going to be cooler than fresh air? Albeit yes the exhaust is cooled by engine coolant, but it's not going to be cooler than ambient air.
@@michaelscarbz3094 A lot of people have been getting the fundamentals of EGR incorrect here lol. It can be worked out with a simple question. What is cooler, ambient air (80-130F) or EGR exhaust brought down to coolant temp (190F)? The purpose of EGR is to introduce "inert" gases that lower the combustion temperature which is the point that's correct. But it's the fact that the EGR provides inert gas, not that it is cooling the exhaust recirculation. The EGR cooler takes the heat out of the exhaust and dumps it to the cylinder head. There have been many stories of people removing the EGR system and their engines all run significantly cooler.
@@jonaswrld9992Because ECU read data from mass air flow sensor and lambda sensor. If you only delete EGR without turn it off in ECU, you will have different values than expected by the ECU.
Not true. In theory you get higher mileage, but it's hardly noticeable. The exhaust has nothing to do with it. The egr only works at low rpm and shuts down on higher. Removing it you'll get better acceleration and thus better fuel economy since you won't need to press the gas pedal as much to accelerate to the same speed.
@@svetko05 the egr acually are closed at idling and at full throttle. but then cruzing its open and working its magic . lowering the burn tempature in the cylinders and stoping the making of nox and "making the enging smaller" so it can run on less fuel. sorry for my extremly bad english ! :D
@@Sven-ola no, it's open at idle and low speeds, basically for city driving. And making your engine smaller is not a good thing, you're making it less efficient and powerful, so if you need to accelerate faster, you'll have to press the gas pedal harder and consume more fuel, compared to if you didn't have egr. So if you want your car to accelerate faster, remove that shit like I did, its way better.
