Fantastic video, changed a few on the older DCI engines but not these, so valuable information here. Total legend, merry Christmas and happy new year to you.

Are the 2015 dCi engines reliable

Very helpful .....Many Thanks & A Happy Christmas to you.

Funny Larry the way the desired position actually mimics what is happening once the fault is noticed. All makes sense but could catch a chap out. Happy new year 🎉🎉🍻🍻

Good Pals a main dealer renfault mechanic over thurles way Peter - we'd great old chats about the blocked ickle pipe up to the sensor that these all suffer.. We both hit on the "Use a cable to drill out the pipe-crap" solution about the same time everyone else did. Great minds/fools.. We also had great old chats about them EGRs. Blanked ta fock was both our "Verdicts". Egr is a load of old fumes.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

I have had some hardship with cables, windscreen wire & just about anything else imaginable trying to clear steel pipes on exhaust systems 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ I found lately if you can get some head at the pipe and compressed air, that hard carbon melts and shoots out in a few lumps. I must make a video on it, sometimes the simplest things are well watched. Hopefully you’re enjoying a few beers over the Christmas mate, badly deserved 👍👍👍

Thank you Mark, sometimes I think some of my recordings could be a bit simple and slightly crap. So I’m glad you liked it mate 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Peter happy new year ya , love the channel ,i have the same code same engine k9k in nissan j10 also got another code P2413, but my egr is electronic no water hose, took it off wasnt to bad dirt wise ,but it wasnt flush slightly open 5mm, just wondering how you bench test or would this be the home postion cheers 👍

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Hi Clive, unfortunately if it is not seating fully it is most likely faulty & sticking open. As a general rule if you look at the electrical connection on the EGR valve you should see 3 pins close to each other & 2 pins separated. The 2 pins separated are generally for the electric motor that opens it. Do you have any experience on car repair or equipment, like a multimeter??

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Or a scantool to bidirectional control the EGR ??

[@cliveg9390]

I have a standard obd2 reader but no multimeter experience, don't suppose you do nixers 🤣 do you think a new part would do the trick and will it self learn or need setting, cheers for replying 👍

[@kennedysgarage3281]

@@cliveg9390 I would honestly say a new EGR valve would be the fastest and easiest fix. In my case I didn’t do any basic settings or relearns. So I don’t think you’d need to do it, just plug & play

[@cliveg9390]

@@kennedysgarage3281 cheers Pete that's prob the way I'll go 👍

[@filocarboni863]

Is it possible to remove the pipe without removing the coilover?

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Yes, absolutely. The shock and spring was only removed for a different repair. It doesn’t need to be removed for egr replacement 😉🙏🙏

part cannon really? It was simple a clogged EGR valve with 5 min cleaning all were good again. Very bad habitual at the cost of customer budget :(

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Ahhh. But why was it clogged ? Cause & effect 🤔🤔

[@zodiatti1825]

@@kennedysgarage3281 My wife's swift 1.3 diesel year: 2009 75PS has got clogged (EGR valve) recently too after 186 000+ km run. We bought it brand new one and solely she were driving it in the last 15 years. Last 10 years only short drives always cold engine less than 1 km I guess could lead to it :) btw I cleaned the intake manifold too it was a nightmare like the valve. if we are there not too big work and customer could be more satisfied :)

Looks like a diesel not being used properly and user should probably have a petrol engine car.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

There don’t be many petrol cars being done lately. Although the newer ones are quite possibly as bad as the diesel’s 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️
