Vivaro / Trafic 1.6 EGR valve seized in manifold. You can get it out 💪 

They didn't leave much room for it mate pretty handy slide hammer , thanks for sharing it 👍

Tried this, still can't get any movement even with some serious force on a slide hammer. Suspect I'll have to take it to the garage but have no idea how they're going to get it out... Suspect it's aluminium surface to steel surface as well as carbon holding it in...

Great video! This is the same egr valve for nissan qashqai j10 1.6 dci too

What fault code did you have for this? Got a 1.6 biturbo vivaro with exhaust pressure sensor and exhaust gas recirculation throttle control circuit faults. Am thinking the pressure sensor is at failure ?

Hi ya great video. I’m getting like a flat spot around 2500/3000rpm could this be something to do with this even tho I’ve had it mapped out ? Tia Dave

With out the slide hammer it’s rather tricky as the alloy body snaps off after a while. Replacing the inlet manifold now. As it’s snapped off and seized in.

Hi do you have a video about replacing the boost press sensor and solenoid?

found it, near radiator cooling fans, and hood latch, thanks.

Nice work Ian. Clever application of the slide hammer 👍

I came across your video because the trafic i'm preparing for sale just got an error code on the dash that the start/stop isn't functioning. After scanning the codes it gave a P0488 which indicates this very EGR valve is stuck. Since i'm selling the van i don't want to spend a shitload of money on a new EGR valve just to get rid of it. It has no CEL or nothing, just the start/stop error. Now, would i be able to get it freed by taking the plastic cover off, with the valve still in the intake manifold? (yea, i tried taking it out, it's properly stuck) I just want this thing to be error free so i can get it through inspection. (MOT) Whatever happens afterwards, well, thats the next guy's problem. 🤷‍♂😂 There isn't much info out there on dismantling one of those.

What kind of fault would you get if your egr is seized ? My van just has now power at all driving round in gear 4 most the time

My question is.. If the EGR valv needs constant cleaning and replacing why the bloomin heck have they made is so blooming hard to remove! 😳

Bonjour, comment s'appelle votre outil ? Merci😉

How do you deleat the rear egr cooler??

Hi mate, how much would you charge to perform this job.

Hi would this fix the rough idle issue I have with my trafic1.6 dci, Is it more likely to be this than the injectors? Great vid by the way Thanks in advance

where is the Electronic throttle body, on the Renault traffic 2017,

top tip thanks

where is the egr cooler?

Yet another amazing French engine with amazing logic ... As a mechanic I can tell you that I absolutely HATE working on any French engine.
