1.9TDI BEW full EGR Removal

[@thomaspitt7181]

Only video ive found to be actually helpful for the BEW, thank you so much 🙏🙏

[@mkknight5652]

Ive watched this video so many times man. Thank you for putting it up. Im day two, almost got the egr cooler out... figured out those vacuum lines can be wrestled off the actuator nipples... but yeah, im following your video and then also removing my intake manifold and turbo for a solid clean. Much respect from northern BC canada

[@jaxon.frandrup]

Good to hear man, I’m glad it could help

[@leaningcedarcamp3719]

Ditto from Autryville NC and my 05 jetta. Black smoke above a certain rpm, intercooler air hose had come loose. Popped it back on, runs fine but needs ....some work? 188k, great car, maybe time for a new turbo?

[@charles-ih7zp]

Nice good job making your own I was lazy and bought my kit. I know how much of a pain it is cause I did it when I did my turbo upgrade and manifold cleaning. Now I blew my motor so I had to pull the motor and install my spare from donor and I'm moving everything over cause I was lazy and didn't remove the cooler like you did. With the engine out in the open it's a pain in the A. Good job every step was detailed and even gave tools needed.

[@jackoakes7979]

Charles - you didnt remove the cooler when you deleted the EGR? Did you just remove the two pipes and add the block off plates?

[@jaxon.frandrup]

@@jackoakes7979 you don’t even need to remove any of it. You can just get it tuned out if you don’t want to get your hands dirty at all. I planned on doing a hood stack and needed to remove the cooler

[@ianmoberg374]

Thank you for actually goi g step by step with do's and dont's, very helpful, only ly thing that i think could make it better would be parts we might need at the beginning, u did the tools, by far best bew egr delete on youtube, thanks man, ill be following this when i do mine here soon

[@09duncie]

amerika got the worst of the 1.9tdi pd lol we over in europe do not even have that shit just an egr in between and a pipe from the exhaust manifold, just a plate on it and it is blocked. the egr it self can be replaced with a pipe with an flanch and youre done.....

Great video helped me alot thanks a million!!!

Peoples champ. It's impossible to find good info on removing the intake on a bew. Thanks m8

Of course bro

[@cosimobruno9731]

ahoy i love my tdi, im with you

[@xaviersrose9]

Hey, just wondering if you still have the car or possibly remembered what you did with the excess vacuum lines.

[@jaxon.frandrup]

Yeah man, I threw a self tapper in the vacuum lines and called it good

[@xaviersrose9]

@jaxon.frandrup alright awesome I made the mistake of taking everything apart and not making anything so I've been trying to sort it out.

[@jaxon.frandrup]

@@xaviersrose9 to be honest man, the one on top of the cooler you really don’t need if you’re fully deleting the egr system. The one on the side (the first one I broke, and ordered) is kinda important for a BEW intake manifold. That one controls little butterfly valves in the intake runners. If you switch to a BRM or PD150 intake manifold you can delete that, and get improved flow/efficiency/power/torque/milage, all of that. Deleting that line just means putting another plug in it I guess. I haven’t had issues with mine yet and it’s been a few years so

[@matthickman9450]

What is the name of the part you broke? I also just broke mine and need to order. 😢

[@charles-ih7zp]

Vacuum valve actuator is the first one he broke with the tail.

[@charles-ih7zp]

I broke my vacuum booster lines lol all this vacuum related stuff sucks. It's all too fragile.

[@txmuddigger]

That's what I'm here for. Mine was broke when I got to it. Now I'm wondering if that flap it controls can be wired open or shut and be done with it.

[@steve5912]

Why would you order a part that shuts half your intake flow ? Imagine being so stupid you delete the egr for more power and clean air and then you replace the swirl flap actuator

[@robertproctor4265]

Does the egr delete 100% prevent build up in the intake? Also any pros/cons for leaving the egr cooler in place?

[@MegaCasey09]

The crank case valve cover has an evap for oil to get in the intake as well so the egr mixed with the oil is bad but it's 100% of the exhaust at least, just not engine oil

[@embracetheoutdoors7232]

You need to get rid of the egr actuator up there on the intake

[@-MOYST-]

Yep he should have removed it and blocked it off as well.

[@jaxon.frandrup]

No harm in leaving it in. After I got it tuned it serves no purpose. Plus when inspection time comes around, it looks like the valve itself is still in it

[@Elliotthaye837]

[@brodyrichard9164]

Hey man quick question, what did you do with your egr acuator and vacuum line, did you just leave it broken in there? Not sure what to do with mine

[@jaxon.frandrup]

I put a self tapper in the end of one of the vacuum lines for the egr actuator and the actuator on the side of the intake manifold I just put a new actuator on it

[@brodyrichard9164]

@@jaxon.frandrup lol that’s what I ended up doing, but one other thing, did you get a egr valve replacement pipe or did u just leave the valve in?

[@jaxon.frandrup]

@@brodyrichard9164 I just left the valve itself in. You can take it out and put a plate there but it doesn’t really make a difference

[@jaxon.frandrup]

niceeee

[@joshuaemino2340]

What's the purpose of the broken parts at 10:50?

[@jaxon.frandrup]

that would be a vacuum actuated plunger. it connects on to the intake manifold and opens and restricts flow in the manifold

[@charles-ih7zp]

It controls the butterfly valve for your manifold.

[@jamesgomez1024]

Is that a upside down turtle 🐢

[@michaele4628]

Did you keep the egr at the end because of the ASV valve?

[@jaxon.frandrup]

yeahh, i left it in. basically acts as a plug. it doesn’t do anything. i want a BRM manifold or a PD150 manifold though, that should allow me to get rid of the actuator/valve itself

[@michaele4628]

@@jaxon.frandrup Im planning an EGR delete myself, I think ill also leave it on as a cheap asv valve assurance incase of a runaway, I really dont want to pay $250 for a milled racepipe plus $100 for a tune when I can just buy a tune, leave the valve and get rid of the rest of the cooler and other junk.

[@MrDRSNUGGLES007]

Hey bud. Awesome video. I have an o6 passat 1.9tdi BKC motor. I'm planing a egr and the cooler delete. As far as I have read... Only issues there after would be the check light and it would possibly run little hotter. Would you recommend this delete?

[@jaxon.frandrup]

yes, i love it. it takes a while for the heater to warm up in the cabin, but other than that there’s no bad side effects

[@charles-ih7zp]

L eft the cooler and plugs in place just router the coolant lines and removed the egr flap and I don't have a code less work but the cooler will still be there in the way. If you live in a cold place don't do it. My heater would not keep up in -20 and my feet was freezing enough to get frost bite I stopped at gas station to buy heated blanket. Only do it if you live in a warm climate.

[@steve5912]

@@charles-ih7zpI’m good not gonna destroy my engine with egr to have a little heat

[@braedonbishop8625]

How much did it cost to tune it after the delete?

[@jaxon.frandrup]

depends on where you get it tuned and how they tune it. i personally went to a shop and had them make a tune specially for my car (egr deleted and vnt17/22 turbo) so he was able to tweak a couple things. out the door it was a little over 750usd

If getting a tune, usually makes the ride a little more reliable. No exhaust going back into your engine.

@ dude hell yeah. Low mileage is the best. I miss my tdi a lot. I got mine tuned locally here in mesa az at a shop called tuning grüppe, but im pretty sure they moved locations over to phoenix. I’d recommend looking into KermaTDI. Check forums like tdiclub to see what other guys are running

[@JurassicJunglee]

can you all mod this ?

[@jaxon.frandrup]

If you’re talking about the evry mod, the answer is no. It is a BEW and has a different injection system when comparing it to an ALH.

[@JurassicJunglee]

can you eliminate the rest of of the EGR system? like the exhaust gas recirculation valve on my jetta bew? They have that straight pipe for the ALH.

[@nickmarangos2475]

Great video! Was that your first time taking it apart?

@@jaxon.frandrup could you not just put a steel plate between the exhaust pipe, and the EGR, that comes from the cooler to the EGR, and just leave the cooler assembly the way it is, .

Always disconnect the battery GROUND... not the POSITIVE. You can disconnect both the cables, but remove the GROUND first. When reconnecting the cables Always connect POSITIVE first and GROUND last. Over fifty years of experience.
