Skoda superb 2010 egr cleaning video please please please. or is it the same in the video?

[@olenduschannel7714]

Thanks for tutoring egr

[@autodocuk]

[@Juppie902]

Oh wow the jerking is real in the used VW Golf SDI 06 I recently bought. Especially first and second gear, every pedal press or release is felt depending on speed. In low RPMs its smooth but anything above 2000 (which is where the power delivery actually begins for an SDI) I get massive jerks. Aside from the P2108 code I got (throttle body is clean) I think the EGR is the n.2 issue.

[@222Berci222]

did cleaning the egr solve your issue? :)

[@Juppie902]

@@222Berci222 Nope! It turns out the jerking is either worn clutch or worn flywheel, was at garage because DIYing it was impossible (thanks prev owners) and they said flywheel is fine but clutch was replaced. Long version: I got rid of P2108 by replacing the throttle body with another used unit. EGR was filthy, cleaned, and after a short time period was filthy again, I gave up and didn't clean until today, and no adverse effects. It smokes like hell on high RPM (over 3000) but I guess its because a bunch of problems (over 700k km, probably dead/clogged cat converter, dirty intake never got to clean it yet, PD injector units at least on cyl #1 is having a massive fuel trim compensation (negative value) and could use a disassembly+cleaning)

[@AndiQytyku]

Please make an video cleaning audi a6 c6 egr valve . Great video keep working . Greatings from Albania

@@autodocuk need VW R36 cleaning

[@eljay3678]

Great video thanks. Everyone who has a different car, maybe buy yourself a haynes manual for your specific car, for its location & removal, before the clean.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! We are pleased to know that our video was helpful for you.

[@curlykipper]

I have a Haynes manual for my car and quite honestly these online videos provide a more detailed tutorial than what's in the manual.

[@adamhussain293]

A list of tools in description would help.

[@kibardinazor2087]

Dear Friend Could you make a Renault Dci EGR change video? Thank you.

[@autodocuk]

Unfortunately, such videos are not expected in the near future. AUTODOC

[@a.h7761]

What do you mean adapt new valves ? I understand to clear codes,but you put the same part in, Please explain if posible

[@CitarNosis317]

Not sure if it's really needed, but diagnostic tools such as FORScan for FORD has these "reset adaptation" option. I think they meant this. But not sure it needs this, the car will re-learn the positions by itself I believe.

[@rhyslewis1729]

Hi, can you make a video for a Kia Magentis 2.0 Diesel 2006 please?

[@autodocuk]

Unfortunately, we don't have any videos of replacements in the Kia Magentis 2.0 Diesel 2006. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates.

[@IrnBrummmmmmm0]

Do u habe any bideos for volkswagen cc 2013 model before the arteon

[@autodocuk]

Unfortunately, we do not have this video. AUTODOC

[@philjollysinger]

You make it look to easy the bolts are extremely difficult to get to a more in depth video showing the tools you used would be much better

[@dillon84]

Been looking everywhere online to find the EGR valve on a CFJA 2.0 tdi engine, don't no where it's hidden

No mention of replacing the gasket and seal with new ones. Is this deemed not necessary?

[@4ndy65]

you make it look like a 2 minute job Ive taken over an hour in some cases The carbon build up is SOLID....Buy a dremel type tool

[@autodocuk]

We cannot show all the nuances and problems in the performance of work, it is all individual and it is not always possible to solve them at home. To avoid this, we always recommend that replacements be made at specialized services.

[@rhythmandacoustics]

how much time to do this?

[@autodocuk]

Unfortunately, we do not have such information. Stay tuned with us and follow our news. AUTODOC

[@eladherzog]

Depending on type of your engine.. 1h max for 1.9 77kw PD.. for this one maybe 45min.. you have 4-5 bolts and thats all.. you just need some brake cleaner,screwdriver to remove larger carbon pieces and toothbrush.

[@backroadhustler8687]

How about trying to make a video of someone changing this egr valve that's not in a perfect world. It's not the same egr setup as mine thats for sure because the entire egr cooler has to be removed to get to all the bolts

[@Simo5000]

It’s a generic video with generic descriptions…..

[@giorgioghilardi9726]

A vacuum cleaner and an ash canister. 5 min

[@aMartianSpy]

Owners manuals dont tell you how to remove/replace egr valves...

[@raulraoul2464]

But tells you where it's located on the engine,that's what he said/write in the description.

[@TakeTaxiUK]

workshop manuels you can find as pdf on internet

[@RKalos]

service manuals do....

[@backroadhustler8687]

Music is annoying as hell. As for the part you left out so much work that's involved. You just don't take the egr valve off the car it's not that easy. The egr cooler and egr and the throttle body are all three bolted as 1 unit. There's hidden bolts that you can't see unless one of these parts are removed and you can't do that unless you take all three parts out as a whole then disassemble them. You video only makes half sense.

[@omardoomer944]

muted after 1 min.

[@chademan888]

Your thumbnail is literally the same picture,just photo shopped👎

[@blackhat1438]

Not helpful please do golf 5 2.0 fsi

[@autodocuk]

Thanks for the clarification, we'll think about what we can do with this in new videos.

[@povdrivekls8369]

that is throttle body not egr

[@autodocuk]

In this case throttle valve comes with egr valve as complete part.

[@povdrivekls8369]

That s why you are a mechanic and i am not 😂 sorry for my mistake

[@bradpurvis6294]

Horrible music. Truly annoying.

[@Cloud007.]

Damn, if only there was a volume button on your device. Man, people should invent that.

[@torsteinv34]

Could they please just remove the music? I can't hear the uneven idling over the AAAAaaahhaaahhAAAAhhhh
