[@RobertoSimion]

Hi, nice work but you dont need to take the subframe off and also you dont need to take off the oil pipes that goes to the turbo, there is enough space to take the EGR off without the extra work and of course without extra costs of replacing the gaskets if doing so. Also the EGR metal part doesnt need to be replace as it can be cleaned and the EGR valve motor and vacuume part can be bought individually saving a lot of money also. Regarding the metal pipes that goes to the front they can also be cleaned with household chemicals. Cheers

[@wawayltd]

Thanks for the advice 👍

My replacement EGR is on the way and I need to do this on my 2012 Jetta which started throwing the P0403 again at 350K KM (did it back at 300K but came good till now). Although I’ve been an enthusiast DIY mechanic to older VWs all my life, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a horrible job to do, I’d seriously rather rebuild an engine. Thanks for the very detailed video and I hope to check back in within the next week or so and say it wasn’t such a pig of a job as I expected, but I reckon it’ll be terrible from the videos I’ve seen. Things we do to save money and keep these old workhorses going!

Hi there, How s the jetta going? I replaced the egr on my Golf Plus and now its noisier

[@andrewhepburn6281]

Good video man, I had a guy come out and blank the egr pipe the the inlet end, then he mapped out the egr valve , 120 quid, been perfect for 4 months

[@wawayltd]

Yeah, that's another way of doing it.

[@fractalofgod6324]

Doesn't that mess up the dpf?

[@wawayltd]

I know that if they blank out EGR, they also cut out DPF.

[@Costa_del_Artlepool]

I tried to do the right thing - walked into my local garage, who's also my MOT tester, and asked if he had much experience with VW EGR issues. Almost immediately he advised me to get it mapped out, assuring me the emissions would be okay and it would be a lot cheaper than paying them to physically address the issues. I was worried about doing it but it's been a couple of days and the car feels so much better.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Hi great video help. I've never done one of these yet, but about to. Can you tell me if after replacement I will need any advanced coding other than using vagcom to clear the fault codes. You don't need any advanced codes from the dealer do you?

[@wawayltd]

Thanks! No I didn't need to use any coding - it was just "plug and play". If you have some fault codes, any basic scanner should be able to clear them. Perhaps, after replacement they might clear themselves eventually.

[@whobbszy191]

Make sure you replace to turbo pipe gasket otherwise you will likely have an oil leak!

[@permafrost8556]

Just a question on brackets and gaskets for the EGR - Spoke to VW and they say just 4 metal gaskets needed, x3 V04L131547S EE2-2 & x1 V03L131547N EE2-206 . However re-watching this video you show a clamp to the DPF (which makes sense if you are moving) plus your bag of parts seems to show an additional gasket i dont have, if i freeze frame! Looks like you have the 4 i have plus one smaller black one! :> What is the smallest black one?

[@wawayltd]

It's been a while since I've done it. Barely remember by now. Could you please send me a timestamp, maybe I'll remember something.

[@tedtolentino4955]

I admire the patience you have to breakdown the various parts to get to the EGR valve and associated intake manifold. It seems quite an arduous task. In hindsight, would it have been easier to take out the engine and service that side of the engine? I have some experience with the older VW diesel engines, e.g. pompe duece, and servicing the EGR and intake manifold is less complicated than these more modern common rail engines. As an aside, I wish VW had maintained the orientation of the engine, as in the B5 and B5.5 Passats, rather than transverse as is now common. How I hope VW will produce all electric versions of their popular models. Maintaining the ICE and all the anti-pollution equipment such as this EGR system is ridiculous!

[@wawayltd]

Out of all anti-pollution equipment - it's the AdBlue I hate the most. The car is great actually, today I've passed 400.000 mile mark.

[@masihd1405]

Thank you for the great video. I have an audi a3 2.0 tdi wit the same EGR. The car was throwing P0121 at first then p0403. Long story short the throttle body was absolutely packed with carbon. Took it out cleaned it and it worked fine with smooth engine shutdown. After 1000 miles the engine started throwing p0403 again. It shuts down smoothly without shutter. I doubt the issue is EGR Valve since the engine has only 75k miles (well i dread it more than doubt...) I was wondering what you think it would be? Any advice on how to track down the issue? Cheers

[@wawayltd]

Thanks 👍 P0403 points on EGR. I don't think it should affect engine shutdown. I had this code on low miles too, then for some reason it was gone for a while and came back on high miles. When it came back, I could say it was definitely bad - lack of power and flashing glow plug light. This is what happened to my car, sorry don't know straight answer what to do in your case.

[@masihd1405]

Is there a way to test egr valve without taking it out? Same for throttle body. Am I right to say p0403 could be caused by either of those ?

[@wawayltd]

@@masihd1405 In engines like ours EGR valve and throttle body are not even close to each other. As far as I know P0403 relating to EGR. Not sure exactly how to test. I remember connecting scanner, look on live data while running the engine. It can show you position of valve opening in %, also shows deviation, egr error. But I can't say what parameters there should be and what percentage of error is acceptable.

[@dividivus]

@@wawayltd Your problem/symptoms were identical with my 2011 VW Sharan 2.0 CR TDI CFFB.103 KW, 404.000 Km driven car, I purchased when was 2,5 years old with 217.000 Km on board back in 22 November 2013, car's name is Böze Wagen. In late time I had discovered a connection when the engine was warm, then the flashing glow-plug light (or flashing light bulb wire) came in almost immediately, and that would be not a problem if not paired with limp mode, but this is the way 😒. When the engine was started cold, the the flashing light came out erratically, but more and more often. Also I cleaned the intake manifold (for the first time, there was 600+ grams of oily carbon deposit measured by weight before/after cleaning). I cleaned the intake valves and throttle body (for the EGR). Then I was thinking to clean the DPF/catalysator unit and EGR cooler too, which I did with detergent, carburetor cleaner fluid and muriatic acid (10% HCl) and lots of soaking time, water and compressed air. The two lambda sensor and the two temperature sensor I cleaned ultrasonically. I have the videos, maybe I will post them. Anyway, when I was removing the DPF filter that is needed to take out the EGR cooler, I noticed that my flex pipe - is a component of the DPF filter - is completely broken, then I discovered that the subframe bushing that holds the transmission pendulum is torn all the way, so this explains everything. The subframe bushing broke, this allowed more engine/transmission movement, and that broke the flex pipe all the way. Then the more oxygen measured on the second lambda sensor triggered the flashing glow-plug light on the dashboard. As the lambda/oxygen sensor is working well only in heated conditions, and also has it's own heating element, then is logical that was triggered almost immediately when the engine was warm before startup then when the engine was cold, and the software let some time before triggering the alarm. Anyway, now I am in the the process of installing back everything, I welded a new flex pipe to the DPF, but I came to this video to look at each bolt where it goes, I put them in order, but I do not remember well the order when the parts came out, so I had some trouble finding the place for the nuts and bolts. Wheels and Motors video helped me a lot, in the past also I had help on other repairs. Many thank and keep up the good work 👍, peace.

hi, can u pls upload a video how to clean EGR on this car without removing it. i have same car and work in taxi business too. bristol V car. thanks mate. ur help appreciate. thanks

[@wawayltd]

If you come to Halfords or Euro Car Parts - they sell some stuff like bottles or sprays for EGR cleaning, and instructions how to use that are on them... However to be honest, in this car, if EGR developed a problem, cleaning might not help. Unlike previous engine generation, where valve was so close to intake and got clogged up with mixture of oil and soot, here we get just soot and it shouldn't give too much trouble. You can use some of that stuff I mentioned above and see how it goes - maybe they sell it for reason.. I that doesn't help, then you'll have to either replace it or I also seen people taking it out for a clean..

[@naeemmohd797]

Hi, many many thanks for ur advice. it works actually bt don’t knw how long it will last bt so far it sorted. i went to euro car parts. bought one of egr spray and used it according to instructions. also bought one of ODB2 to clear code. thanks again for ur help. have a great day. 😊

@@naeemmohd797 Hi, sorry to hear that it didn't help.. I bought mine in TPS, unit itself + gaskets and clamps all together was 416 pounds, that's the price you would get from dealership. I don't know how good is EGR from Euro Car Parts, probably should be good too, because they also give warranty. I don't have much experience dealing with these units, so I'm afraid I can't give you good advise. Apart from this one about year ago, I bought same unit from eBay for like 100 pounds, it had to go on different car, Seat Altea XL 1.6tdi. And this unit from eBay didn't last long. I don't know whether that was because of bad quality or because they done bad job (I didn't fit that one) or something else went wrong.. I would recommend get it from somewhere with warranty and get it done by someone who can guaranty that it will work. With your job you want it to be done once and for good, isn't it?

Electrics? I don't know how to diagnose it properly.. 2. The garage where I filmed it is not mine, my friend kindly lets me to use it occasionally, and I don't want to misuse it. 3. As I said I'm slow - it can take long time, and time is something that I don't have now. I can earn in taxi, but I also spend a lot of time building new version of my website, and it needs to be finished before hosting runs out for my old one. 4.

I know that fans have mind of their own. System decides when to switch them on. Why and when - I don't know, but I don't worry about it, as long as there no errors. It has a connector that switches it on and off, but it's only connector - signal comes from ECU, but when it decides to put it on - it's a bit of a mystery for me. I would assume it's a bunch of parameters, not just one sensor. However - I'm not professional 😏

Also, editing this because I forgot to mention it goes into limp mode if I give it too much power, for example when accelerating onto a motorway.

Hi I have p0401 vw cc 2.0tdi 2013 would it need a new egr

[@wawayltd]

Hi, this code points on restricted flow of gases through EGR. What's causing it - I don't know. Maybe it's just clogged up EGR or even of the pipes and it needs jusr cleaning, or maybe old unit is not good and it's asking for replacement. I can't say, it needs to be seen.

[@dafxf9668]

@@wawayltd ok I get cleaned see what happens. If I do end up changing it what brand of egr do you use genuine or aftermarket?

[@wawayltd]

I would go for reputable brand with warranty, so in case if it doesn't work, you can go back to them and throw it in their face 😁

Does EGR clear up if driven regularly on the motorway?

[@wawayltd]

It stays pretty clean with this design (no oil, only soot). Motorway is pretty good for giving it a good burn. However, sometimes if it starts failing cleaning may not help, even if you take it out and physically clean it.

[@FiveInline84]

My advice is to buy an original EGR from a VW dealer. They are over twice the price, but for a good reason. I have seen non-original EGR fail shortly after installation. It has been a revision of the cooler from 03L131512CF to 03L131512DQ, and the latter is a better part then the ones (CF) fitted from factory.

TPS supplies dealerships. Only trouble - they sell to trade only.

Do you need to support the steering rack at all or is it okay? Also - do you need to do any calibration when you return the subframe to the position?

Steering rack is okay, it can stay like that. Try to fit subframe back as it was looking at old marks, but I still recommend to check wheel alignment.

[@mohbounu]

Hello, i think i have an EGR problem. I have intermittent code P0403 [172]. The engine starts and then shuts down immediately, i think the EGR is stock closed. Do you have any idea how to force it open just to be able to take the car home and work on it?

[@wawayltd]

The code points at EGR circuit malfunction. I think if it's stuck in "closed", the car should work (some people blank it), but with fault codes. It's harder to start when it's stuck open - it will misfire especially when cold. Not sure if there's a way to do something without getting there.

[@mohbounu]

@WheelsAndMotors it's stock open, sorry. I'm thinking about removing the pipe that goes from the EGR to the intake manifold. This should let it start.

[@wawayltd]

That would make exhaust gases to go into engine compartment and inside car interior! Why don't you want just to fix it?

Must be bonkers going to all that trouble on a old vehicle with such high mileage.
