Thanks for a great and detailed video. I cleaned the EGR on my Golf mk 4 TDI yesterday.(I had to order tools from USA). There was only 1-2 mm of oily black muck on the inside. I was surprised that after cleaning there was a big increase in low end torque and acceleration afterwards. Hoping for reduced emissions also

Lifesaver, I was getting "Engine Workshop!" (Mk1 Octavia "face-lift" 2004 model 1.9tdi) and flashing glow plug symbol, thought this was worth a shot so tried it. EGR was completely immobilised by crud buildup. Thorough clean (using oven cleaner as it happens), dry, touch of grease on the moving components, checked the vacuum diaphragms and replaced it. 9nce engine had warmed up the warning stopped and performance and fuel economy markedly improved.

All good an proper to just pull out the egr valve an clean it, if you want better response an reliability out of your turbo deisel engine, I suggest to pull the inlet manifold, intercooler out as well an clean it at the same time. Did it to my hilux 3.0l turbo diesel after I did a full Inlet cleanout, I fitted a catch can, I suggest getting one fitted after you do a full inlet cleanout.

@RedlineRevs7 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for commenting. You don't need to clean the EGR cooler, that just diverts coolant to the exhaust gases going into EGR to cool them down a bit. And you're right, VW wouldn't bother to clean an EGR valve but would likely charge you for a new one when it inevitably fails.

What was the issue you had to diagnose or necessitate the cleaning of the EGR valve. I have done this job several times and I always drop the bolts plus my VW dealer doesnt make it easy as they have removed the parts dept and opened a Parts dept at a different location but only to trade! So getting any parts even those rubber o rings,/gaskets even as is customary I drop a bolt as I am a tad ham fisted due to no index finger, that is a mission to get.

Yeah best way to clean it is to let it sit in a diesel bath, only the metal part for about 15 minutes to sock then take it out with a copper brush and clean it well. Also the seat of the egr valve needs good brushing also.

I've seen some people go the whole hog, and remove the air intake manifold also, and use Mr Muscle to clean that too (although you used EGR cleaner, and I understand you CAN use brake cleaner also?). Pretty sure I've seen people literally soak the egr valve in brake cleaner, rather than just spraying it (which might have been easier than what you appeared to do?)
