Clean EGR Valve Chevy Cruze 2.0 Diesel

[@OGMoneyStaxxx]

God bless you Carter. I have 2014 TDC and your videos will prove to be invaluable for me in the future.

[@bmw803]

You probably already did the job, but hopefully you did the throttle body too. It helps access the EGR. I have a 2013 TDI Jetta and the 2 are in each other on the front. Much better access than this shit.

[@bryan7694]

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed information.

[@nkdamn]

Thanks for sharing that

[@jacquesfrivole875]

Good job thanks

I had antifreeze come out when i pullled the egr valve....what could be wrong???

[@rhystaylor3802]

How did you get the valve unstuck i cant seem to get it off the motor

[@KATSAMBA0719]

It is so hard pulling it out

[@letsgobrandon5800]

@Carter Anderson , how many miles did you have when you cleaned the EGR valve?

[@ChristinaStachura-jn9pl]

Quick question that easy to do work

[@chamankudmarbettu5722]

Is this the 2.0 Vcdi engine? Sold in india? Please reply

[@tanglewood777]

wot happens to engine if its stuck

[@rockon1507]

How did you get that bracket out of there?

[@jackswayne7355]

Hi will the egr make it run bad on first take off. Like u are taking your foot on and off the throttle quickly

[@cmine615]

Teece Clint my 2018 (different engine) diesel Cruze boga down and hesitates when I first take off and then clears right up. I’m wondering if it’s my egr valve

Wat is code 89 and code 84 in creuz turbe diel

[@happyhunter6108]

I have been looking for a delete for the DEF fluid. Have you done this with the EGR delete. Thanks for any info.

[@theTYTAN3]

Have you done it yet?

[@supporterofeverythingyouli6255]

Just add water to deff tank instead pretty simple

[@deanshisler7664]

Where is the egr value on chevy cruise gas engine

[@medicineman360]

I know this video is four years old now, but everyone should know that the torx bits to remove the EGR valve are, indeed, T-30. There's another video on KZbin showing the same thing, but the guy says they're T-27. DO. NOT. USE. A. T-27. BIT If you do, there's a good chance you'll strip the torx, and you'll be in a world of hurt if you do. Ask me how I know. 😂😂😭

[@gbonat]

ATS505 carbon cleaner cleans out the carbon without having to remove EGR

2014 Chevy Cruze diesel no power from the turbo

[@HaemonAK]

Ive got a 2015 Diesel Cruze that will crank over forever but doesnt even attempt to start. Other than the possible fuse box positive being loose, the turbo having issues, or this EGR valve being stuck.... What other things should I look at? Multiple good batteries were tried.

[@szymon4689]

The injectors?

[@HaemonAK]

@@szymon4689 turned out to be a glow plug that melted, probably from being sprayed with diesel, bad injector. Melted the tip and it went for a ride around in the engine. So it was a dead cylinder. Sold it and the next guy updated me on the situation.

@@HaemonAK oh damn, sounds pretty bad tbh

[@szymon4689]

@@HaemonAK i got a weird Problem with my cruze, but its making problems over and over since i bought it

[@HaemonAK]

@@szymon4689 yeah, they are really famously bad cars. The only reason I messed with it was it was free. They have tons of issues as they run stupidly dirty thanks to all of the emissions and EGR junk on them. If you can sell it when it's running alright you'd do yourself a favor to get into something a lot more reliable.

[@bradstone2603]

That is just cheating... it's obvious that the piece was stuck on with soot and you just skipped tnat part... it's the whole reason i'm looking up these videos!

[@fredszklenski1472]

Hi what size toes bit did you use to take it off? I’m trying to do mine right now

[@fredw1301]

Did you have a code or engine light on is that why you cleaned or you just cleaned it for preventive maintenance

[@carteranderson32]

I have 2 Diesel Cruzes, cleaned one for preventative, no issues and at 110k miles. 2nd had CEL, cleaned it and light didn’t go off. I then deleted DEF and EGR with OZ tune and CEL went off with no other problems.

[@charleyghanem3003]

@@carteranderson32 was it hard to delete?

[@carteranderson32]

Hi Charley. EGR Delete is easy to do but the tune that is needed after the delete is expensive. Without programming the CPU, the check engine light will remain on.

[@peeinginthewind]

@@carteranderson32 Any delete kits available these days

[@cyberliferrr]

Did anyone find a delete kit? Getting a P2457 code on my 2018 Equinox 1.6L diesel with only 10K miles on it.

[@benjamingrimes3304]

My egr puts out a terrible noxious smell at all times, especially when driving at low speeds. I assume there in a leak somewhere in the egr cooler. The dealership has just giving me a runaround with no permanent fix. I'm about to notify the EPA and hopefully that will get their attention. Not trying to be a dick but this exhaust is choking.

[@carteranderson32]

Hi Ben, I had a similar problem twice after dealer repairs. Tech did not seal turbo to exhaust properly causing small leak of exhaust in engine bay. My heater and a/c sucked up exhaust and blew into car. Took dealer two times to fix it by replacing all gaskets and remounting turbo and exhaust. No problems since.

[@supporterofeverythingyouli6255]

Chevy has no idea how to work on these engines!

[@medicineman360]

​@@supporterofeverythingyouli6255it's been my experience that most of the service departments weren't even aware they put a diesel engine in the Cruze. 🤦‍♂️

[@supporterofeverythingyouli6255]

@@medicineman360 What I went through with Chevrolet was insane, they could not find out or figure out where to service my 15 2.0 diesel Cruze timing belt. After 3 year's gave up sold it and got a Tesla 3 and I'm not looking back.

[@selaktetove90]

I deleted mine but never took it out. should I ever clean it ?

[@carteranderson32]

Once deleted the valve stays in closed position and no need to clean. Make sure you have disconnected the electric wire so CPU doesn’t get a false reading.

How do you remove the EGR? It's very tough, it won't budge.

How often should this be done? Only if there’s a code?

[@bmw803]

If the job is not too complex, do it once a year. Less scraping. We have a 2018 VW ATLAS VR6. The throttle is so easy to take off, I do it once a year. 30 minutes in total.

[@medicineman360]

I've done mine (2015) twice, and after it wouldn't start.

​@@medicineman360when yours wouldn't start, woukd it just turn over but not actually start up or would it sputter and act like it wanted to start?

[@fredszklenski1472]

*what size torx bit?

[@medicineman360]

T-30. Another similar video on KZbin says T-27, but that's not true.

[@tanglewood777]

IS THIS SAME PLACE AS AN ORLANDO

[@medicineman360]

The engine is made by Opel and is found in their Astra J models. I think the Euro cruze is J300, and that *might* be the Orlando. If so, yes, the process is exactly the same.

[@Gabriel.4190]

He said passenger side and proceeded to the middle near the driver

[@carteranderson32]

I make dumb mistakes, thanks for pointing that out.

[@Gabriel.4190]

Carter Anderson I wasn’t knocking you. Just pointing out for others who plan on attempting this. I watched it so I can be ready If I ever have to do this. Just bought a 2014 CPO with 49000 love it so far and the fact it was well taken care of shows through but you never know what may pop up. Thanks for the video👍🏼

[@pazair16]

no seal ?

[@carteranderson32]

There is a gasket that is internal. I was able to reused the stock one. No leaks and over 10k mikes now after cleaning.
