Opel (VAUXHALL) EGR cleaning Pierburg 55215031

[@youhumit9169]

Thank you so much. This is a very informative video that shows how to service the actuator, rather than simply cleaning the main EGR valve. When cleaned and serviced the actuator should be so easy to move with one finger - as shown in the video. If it's stiff it will be stuck - either open, so that performance is awfully slow until 2,000 RPM, - or closed so that the light comes on due to insufficient exhaust back to the inlet manifold sensors. After performing the service instruction shown in this video the performance - and the mpg - is much improved. (I note that you can buy a new, Chinese-pierburg copy , EGR valve on eBay nowadays for about £35 - don't know if they're any good mind.) Thank you for resolving the myth of EGR valve actuator!

Thanks this videos save me of the dealer. I have the Z19DT and the solenoid was the problem ( 1st the car was jerking in the morning in first gear, the when the car was running hot, no problem I clean just the EGR, make a test drive and get a check engine light and the car has no power under 2000 rpm. Cleaned as the video and problem solved. To avoid this i use a little bit of Cooper grease. Now the engine works really smooth.

Hello Josè is your car still running good ? I have the same issue seemingly.

SO GREAT AND DETAILED VIDEO.. to bad that you couldn't get camera to film it a little closer :), but hey that is just me... i don't see the bracket that should be between solenoid and body... is that because it was reassembled before?? did not see if anyone asked if there is way to shut or how to shut that hole once you drilled it?? Because i had bad leak from pipes of servo and it messed up whole motor (was a lot of oil everywhere), and after 1 year my starter went off because grease got up into him, so i was wondering if i drilled hole it could also go into solenoid of EGR that is why my concern is about that hole and how to shut it, and not drill it again, but still keep it clean as possible as could... i did not drill my, but instead i just give it a good clean with WD40 till it was moving smooth (took me a while).... any thoughts on that??

[@normundsrozitis9141]

Thanks. Saved me a lot of money.

Drilled hole, but could not get pin out, finally gave up n cleaned hole with oven cleaner n then oiled n tapped. dreaded car/spanner light still on, even after obd2 reset, but it does turn on/off randomly with p0400 as pending. vectra c 05 1.9.

[@gwiggy8793]

Do you have to drain the coolant before removing EGR etc ?????

[@CarlosAlberto-es6qc]

Hello. No

[@ШакроМолодой-х5ф]

Ar you cleaning with wd 40?

[@KrzysztofZaremba]

That can be not enough. Why you didn't clean part with valve?

[@CarlosAlberto-es6qc]

Hello. Do not need to be a scientist to know how to clean the other part of the valve. If it is clogged with charcoal, you obviously have to clean it... And the video refers to: disassemble and cleaning the solenoid coil Thanks

[@KrzysztofZaremba]

Carlos Daniel Of course, but valve part should work smoothly as well I always remove the spring from valve part to be sure is clean.

[@CarlosAlberto-es6qc]

Hi. I usually put it in a container with gasoline overnight. Best regards

[@KrzysztofZaremba]

If that helps for you, it's ok for me.

[@rickhctep1503]

He did but didn't show it on the video.

[@gillewill6082]

Hi, I'm not a carspecialist or whatever but is it possible that you might need to lubricate the moving parts?

[@sadikmeah4057]

Why did you put a hole in it?

[@CarlosAlberto-es6qc]

Hello. If you watch the video carefully you will see your answer. Thanks

[@sadikmeah4057]

Carlos Daniel Why not make the presumption that I did watch the entire video and be polite and just tell me?

[@CarlosAlberto-es6qc]

Hi. My answer stays the same, see the video the answer starts right at the beginning 0:57 If you find another way to remove the inside of the coil tell me :-) Thanks

[@rickhctep1503]

So he could drive the inard's out of the solenoid so he could clean them, don't put to bigga hole in the end or you will cut through the wires to the coil.

[@carlosjosh8332]

Carlos Daniel did you fill the hole in with any thing

[@aldoperusko4377]

What si the size of this drill that he made a hole and pull out the plug

[@CarlosAlberto-es6qc]

Hello, 3,5mm

[@bogivet72]

This is the Fiat engine, 1.9 multijet, the best engine in the world.

[@CarlosAlberto-es6qc]

Hello, How did you come to that conclusion?

[@Naczelnik4518]

Its definitly very good engine but not the best in the world tbh.

[@rickhctep1503]

How many times did you hit your fingers when you were building the solenoid up as I lost count.

[@CarlosAlberto-es6qc]

You may not believe it, I did not hit my fingers. Really watching the video it looks like I it hits the fingers.

[@charliexerri4024]

Excellent video.

[@CarlosAlberto-es6qc]

Thanks :-)

[@watchingin3d549]

[@duaneralph2692]

Ricky if you have a failed egr then that will mess with your emission.

[@wario4979]

the EGR cooler should be cleaned
