Toyota Hilux/Vigo 1KD-FTV EGR valve and manifold removal 

I'd say if the egr is blanked off entirely it's probably not going to be an issue for you. You could always take the intake butterfly off and shine a torch into the egr valve to gauge the severity of the intake contamination

@@simmosworkshop how to off intake butterfly?

Nah mate, should be able to remove the glow plugs without removing all the lines and intake

@@simmosworkshop hi mate, I watched your previous video about programming the key, any chance you can tell me where you purchased the key blank with remote, thanks

@@Jamestee1 eBay mate I searched "hilux key transponder" www.ebay.com.au/itm/Remote-Car-Key-Suitable-for-Toyota-Hilux-or-Yaris-2005-2006-2007-2008-2009-4D-67-/323082230144?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0

mine is at 320.000 km without any problems just feels bulky and gives me 72hp on dyno app

Did you get it done without removing the manifold, I've just faced into it this evening and it doesn't look possible

Hey mate, any non-residue solvent cleaner to make sure the tubes are clean and contamination free, I use contact cleaner / carby cleaner or similar aerosol spray. As for carbon in the Manifold, a flexible steel pipe cleaner goes well and from memory oven cleaner was really good at breaking down the heavy carbon deposits.

Hey mate, I was just disassembling and cleaning here, yep I did mention the egr blank at one point there, it goes before the cooler on the 2 bolt flanged tube (the steel one with the accordian flexible section). Be sure to have a small hole on the blank (7mm) to avoid engine codes, and if the blank has slotted holes you can loosen the tube and slide the blank between the cylinder head and the tube more easily Hope this helps

Hey mate, the white and black one? That's the MAP sensor oil filter, it stops any oil vapor entering the MAP sensor. They occasionally crack and you'll see oil around them, as for replacement they are not a common service item, however you can remove and blow out or, like I have shortly after this video, you can replace. I got my replacement for $19.99 and its an easy change out item. Edit** Sorry, you were talking about the one with straight inlets and outlets, I believe this is just a screen/damper for the vacuum into the egr diagram, unless it is damaged it requires no maintenance. Hope this helps!

@@simmosworkshop Thank you for your explanation. The MAP sensor filter white and black which side should use black on top or white?

Black on top from memory, mine had 'AISIN' on it and was written the right way up when fitted. There's a clip to hold it in place

Hey mate, replacements aren't really necessary, toyota use a shim like metal gasket on the intake air flange joins so they can be used again if needed. I did however put a very thin flexible gasket maker on a couple of the metal gaskets where the surfaces didn't look perfect. Hope this helps 👍

@@simmosworkshop thanks mate. Do you know much about blocking the EGR on these? Does it cause other problems?

You can block the egr with a plate on the head side of the egr pipe and cooler, BUT you will eventually get a diagnostic code and end up in limp mode. I ran an egr blank with the 7mm hole drilled in it for a short time but had some crazy boost spikes while it was fitted. I have since removed the restriction plate and fitted the provent catch can. Personally I think the catch can is a better more permanent fix for oil build up.

@@simmosworkshop yeah Righto. So it’s just the oil from the intake mixing with the carbon from the EGR that creates the build up? With the catch can fitted the carbon shouldn’t build up as much correct?

Yeah pretty much, you can either remove the carbon / soot from entering the intake by blocking or restricting the egr system or limit the oil vapour entering the intake from the breather by using a catch can ( or of course both). Neither soot or oil are terrible on their own, but together are awful.

2009, 380,000Kms, thanks!

@@simmosworkshop wow. Was it the first time you cleaned the egr and manifold on this rig? It looks really clean for the mileage.

@@kevincruz7290 yeah mate 1st time for me owning this car, I've had it for around 90000 kms

Have the injectors been changed on this ?

KUN mate

@@simmosworkshop thank you so much sir

Yeah looks like it, good pick up. I'll check it out, thanks!
