You say you're not good at making youtube videos you seem good even better than some to me keep the good work up mate 👍

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Thanks mate, I’ll keep them coming as long as I’ve time to make them.

[@AC-um2mk]

I'm highly impressed by the artistic placement of autumn leaves in many shots. This natural decay process which leads to renewal in the springtime serves as a wonderful counterpoint to the decay and your repair of the vehicle. You should submit this video for the next Turner Prize.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

It’s all filmed on a specifically constructed set , which is destroyed and rebuilt before every video is shot

[@arnietwo11]

Bien hecho otra vez !! Yes Mr Muscle works great on things like inlet manifold and egr valve. I cleaned the CLKs egr a month or so ago with Mr M, just for preventative measures !!

I like to use it in the shower.

Hi just took mine (movano) to a garage as went into limp was told it was egr valve fault . Informed me today the little flap you said fall off has gone missing not to be found ! And asked should they put it back together and do thr as that needs doing also. What the the chances it's gone out of the exhaust . Or should I be scared to drive it thanks Peter

Hola! Al final la pieza esa sabes de donde es? Al desmontar mi EGR tambien estaba

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Sí. es del interior del enfriador egr. Es bastante común que esta pieza se rompa y se atasque en la válvula egr.

[@mdsviewpoint4130]

Did you bring the small plate that you found? ... i wonder if its important

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

The plate is just one of the fins that had broken off the heat exchanger inside the EGR cooler. Nothing important

This is single turbo model

[@weymufffisher]

Where exactly was the bit of metal that jammed it from?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Came from inside the egr cooler I believe

[@VSTV1993]

Did you have any warning lights on dash? Mine has a flashing check engine light, it flashes 5 times quite fast and then starts flashing slowly and it will crank no start (tried with diag but no codes)

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Not seen that with this one, but check live data. Check mainly fuel pressure and rpm signal. Have you tried to see if it fires up on a bit of brake cleaner?

[@VSTV1993]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos yeah tried some easy start and nothing, i'm going to crack open the dpf pressure sensor and see if it may be a totally blocked dpf maybe with it not starting on easy start, if that fails then it's back to the thinking table.

I have a 2013 renault master 2.3..my engine looks different? Can I just blank off where the blank was in this engine and drive away or do i have to remove and clean it which im trying to avoid..not worried about error codes on dash..just want it to run good.thanks for any advice.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

You can blank off the egr valve but it will throw a code and an engine light unless you have it mapped out.

[@brendjoce]

@StupidBlokeStupidVideos not bothered with a engine light..just worried about that egr flap..so will It be good if I just blanked it like the one in ur video and drive it away..cause some people say u have to blank it in to places..thanks for the reply..great video 👍

[@brendjoce]

So do you think it will work just blanking the pipe on the front??

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@brendjoce ideally you wanna blank it at the exhaust end, but as long as it’s blanked then it’s blanked

[@sikhpunto]

Hi mate can I ask what the symptoms were for the egr valve being changed was there a rattle when enging reved??

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

It was stuck open and choking itself on its own exhaust so wouldn’t run at all before the breakdown guy blanked it off

[@debeseliss7]

@Stupid Bloke Stupid Videos why you just didn't leave it blanked and avoided feature problems with this stupid egr valve?

Just wondering ... when taking stuff apart do you ever forget where bits came from and review your videos to check? When I am working on stuff (not vehicles) I sometimes take photos so I can refer back to them if I need to check how it was before I started messing with it 😂

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Never in the real world, but in the real world I’m not explaining what I’m doing to the camera. Tbh doing that can sometimes distract me cause me to forget which way stuff goes and I have to look back occasionally. In the real world I’m pretty anal about stuff going back exactly how it came off though, all the bolts have to be right and not swapped about and shit like that. Drives my work colleges mad I think 🤔

[@AC-um2mk]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos It may drive them nuts but I can tell that makes your output top quality. The tone of your videos suggests a slapstick approach but it's only possible to present in such a way from a position of significant expertise and adaptability. I salute you sir.

I just had a fault with my Movano. P24A8 EGR cooler coolant pump performance/stuck off. My Temperature gauge goes straight to hot when starting from cold. Any ideas please Stupid Bloke 👍

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

I’ve not experienced that, however it sounds like it could be a wiring fault/shorted wiring if the coolant temp sensor and the electric coolant pump wiring is in the same loom 🤔

[@topgroover]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos ha ha ha just realised it’s the Ad-blu gauge not temperature. I don’t seem to have a temperature gauge. Maybe just a warning light if it gets too hot. Weird the French 🤪

@@topgroover haha ffs. Yea probably just a light, a lot of vehicles are that way these days. In that case, the issue is more than likely the electric pump itself by the sounds of it. They have a little electric pump that looks like a little plastic turbo 🤔

Hello, thanks for this video. i have problem with my master 3 2.3 dci 125. i've done a diagnostic and it says "VALVE EGR JAMMED OPEN" ... and i found the same fucking metal piece bloking the valve ! i don't change the EGR and i hope it will be ok now

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Hopefully be ok now. It seems common for that piece to break away from inside the egr cooler and get wedged in the egr valve

[@mdsviewpoint4130]

Did you put it back somewhere or we can just live without that plate i was trying to figure it out where it come from that little plate.. Can i still use the old egr i wonder without it.

[@JohnWeaver-zw1wc]

The plate/flap comes from the EGR cooler underneath the EGR valve a throttle body, Sometimes the flap breaks off and blocks EGR most of the time it goes the other way and 'rattles' all the way to the Turbo and destroys it.. EGR cooler features in the video at 2.32 @@mdsviewpoint4130
