there are boxes to install to prevent error codes, the box connects in place of the valve motor

@@andrechong-pan1691 I had no error codes following the exact steps I did

It was an issue with the VVT solenoid 👍

That was the issue😊👍

Very true I changed the tuppet cover along with vvt and got the same issue again lol

It was indeed that for me too👍 rebuilt the engine though too😅

​@@uli169 did you have any foult code?

@@dominikm366 didn't read them myself, unfortunately

That's really strange... Any issues before then? Feeling of lack of power? Perhaps diesel pump but I'm sure you'd notice other performance losses before you get to that point.

This is better for the engine in the long term. Removes the possibility of excessive carbon build up. But cool that you think so👍 Merry Xmas

@@uli169 When the EGR valve is blocked off, it can cause reduced power, increased fuel consumption, a choking sensation in the engine, excessive smoke, jerking, inconsistent starting or even seizure of certain mechanical parts in the long term. The EGR valve contributes to the longevity of your engine. Specifically, the EGR valve helps keep the cylinder valves at a lower temperature, resulting in lower thermal stress and longer life. I am sure that quite a few ignorant people from time to time have taken bad advice from KZbinrs like you and found themselves in trouble sooner or later because they never bothered to check out the facts. I sincerely hope that no person follows your bad advice!

@@allankingsbury5657 okay mate. You do you. Everyone can decide what they want to do. I'll trust all of the diesel mechs I know over you, also most of the literature stating the benefits outwaying the cons, cheers.

@@uli169 So you are actually promoting automotive environmental pollution?

@@allankingsbury5657the pollution issue is a different issue to the mechanical issues On the mechanical front, how does recirculating exhaust gasses cool anything? Exhaust gasses are hot. Also these valves gunk up with the carbon from the exhaust and oil from the breather, it’s not good. The idea is to help with pollution not longevity

Sure. How can I help?

I used the gaskets that were on there already. If I remember correctly, they're metal gaskets

Not at all. Runs perfectly. Just make sure to follow the steps😊

Blocking off the EGR reduces the lifespan of your engine.

@@allankingsbury5657actually mate it increasing and decreases the wear and tear on all engine components

I presume it's a order in which the switch was unplugged and plugged back in. If done in the wrong order, you will have this issue

you have to buy one of the wiring things for egr delte

@@MD-hg9sg I didn't have to but mayne it's market-specific 😊👍

It stops recirculating the exhaust hades into the intake, stopped the carbon build-up. This system is intended for meeting emissions standards but will harm your engine in the long run

It causes the engine to run hotter, and this results in a shorter engine life. During maintenance include your EGR System by running a specialist spray cleaner through it to dissolve built up deposits. The EGR valve helps the engine to run cooler. Just do proper maintenance and your engine will be better for it in the long term.

@@allankingsbury5657 Makes Sense

​@@uli169Why didn't you remove the cooler altogether and plumb the coolant pipes back together?

@@peterr7530 you still want the intercooler to do its job. This upgrade only stops old exhaust gases from being returnung into the intake

The issue with mine was the variable valve timing. Good luck👍

Did you do it yourself, what does it cost to fix

Maybe take it in and see and see if Chev can fix it for u

Hey man Na, I just blocked off the EGR because I didn't want gunk in my intake. I also didn't adjust anything. If you're looking for more power, I suggest knocking out the catalytic converter. Two bolt from the bottom to loosen and you can do it with a long rod. After that, get a tune. Power jumps from 120kw to around 170kw

You don't. It's NOT a wastegate it's a VNT actuator. You start playing with it and you will be in a world of hurt soon after. With a decent tune / ECU shop tuner etc and if you feel inclined add a bigger turbo along with +30 or +50 injectors etc you will be more concerned about a lack of traction than any lack of power!👌FYI This engine threw a P0400, P0404, P0406 immediately after this vid. They DO NOT allow you to simply delete the EGR module without either a MAF patch cable or remap.

I didn't adjust anything :)

My friend would probably sell for around R150-160k

Yes, they're the aftermarket Sport headlamps. He still has the originals are they are getting rare to find the OEM headlamps these days

Yeah, he still has the original mags but he won't sell them. He's keeping them and won't let go 🙂

The 1.4s are good engines👍 In my opinion, two good 8" subs in the back are perfect. My friend has that in his bakkie here and it's still allows him to sit comfortably. You won't need more

That sounds like the wiring needs to be redone. Downright dangerous. But I will say that this isn't the usual

Same here. Shit car

I'm having the same issue with my batt, fitted a new one and a week later it's flat again.

That's some great information! I'm especially surprised about the fuel flexibility on the standard management

@@uli169 yes they call it "flex fuel"

I iednt🤔inesbtithtberid😅🎂😅😎

Yep, I experienced the tailgate issue as well as the cold start misfire. I had to give it a little rev as it started to prevent it from switching off. I drove the 2015 1.4 base model

Hey man. It's called a Rad48 👍

@@uli169 thank you, much appreciated.

@@uli169 is the wheel offset on the front same as the ones at the back

I've seen the handbrake turns too😂👌🏾💯

You know I have a 2020 Mercedes a class and my opinion is that all cars give problems … I’m selling this car because it’s just unacceptable for what u pay for and so this handle thing seems like an acceptable thing to me :)

Cheers man. Appreciate the input! I look forward to seeing what cars there are in NZ. I know you guys have a whole bunch of interesting Japanese imports. My plan is to either immigrate to NZ or head back to Oz in about 2 years time👍🙂

@@uli169 muchas Gracias buen día

Thanks for the feedback👍 They're like any engine. Maintain them well and they will last. I suggest Googling this engine and seeing what people have to say. I honestly don't know of any engine specific problems they have. As far as I understand, the basis of this engine has been used for ages and the predecessor of it has been used since the 70s so clearly the design is a good one. The thing I like about these engines is that they are extremely simple. You can do all of the work yourself with a few tools. Fuel consumption is good - 12.5km/l about is what people are seeing without a heavy foot. Obviously depends on how you drive, the condition of the engine and what type of driving you do (town Vs highway)

Watch out for the timing belt 👀

I own a 2013 1.8 Ute. Not the greatest compared to the NP200 on fuel but certainly more powerful and much nicer for open road. It isn’t a race car but if you need to over take on the left, taking a gap isn’t an issue. I average 600km on a tank. I’ve had quite a few little electrical issues (sensors, lights, radio, cluster). The engines are strong but the power steering system leaks whether you like it or not. I use it as a private and work vehicle. With 700kg in the back handling is drastically effected but you don’t need to hammer it to get to 120. It’ll cruise up and down hills loaded in 5th without too much fuss It certainly is a lot nicer to drive than the NP200 but doesn’t feel as solid as the NP. I don’t recommend towing. They do have a trailer function built in but avoid towing if you can. In summary, it is a bit more thirsty than the 1.4 but the power rewards you. Not as solid as an NP200 but certainly better to drive. My current mileage is 113 000km

Thanks! I did add it in the description after my friend told me of my mistake. Appreciate the feedback👍
