this was some good calming background noise for falling asleep in my bed......very relaxing

Glad you enjoyed

[@CondoreComputing]

Was a little slow, but don't worry about the people complaining about it, you can just skip through if people dont like watching the whole thing, was very helpful since i just picked up one of these kits for my jetta. But i paid a lot more for the Darkside Development version.

[@DSEC_UK]

Cheers, it was my first long edit - yeah I could have made it shorter/faster, but I kinda rushed the edit :) Darkside Developments is the best for TDI parts - after you've swapped it out, you'll want to remap the ECU to prevent the EML from coming on due to the missing EGR. I've done a video on that process

U left out u need to also delete the dpf as aswell as the egr on the 2litres not doing so can cause back pressure and explode the turbo due hot exhaust gas back pressure back from the dpf if left in place the egr code also has to be mapped out

[@josedonainramireznucamendi7846]

me podria comentar la razon, por el que se retira la valvula egr???

[@DSEC_UK]

Debido a que está enviando gases de escape de regreso al motor, lo que no es bueno para las partes internas de los motores de mayor kilometraje. También es una buena idea eliminarlo porque puede causar problemas, ya sea abrirse o cerrarse ... mejor solo para eliminarlo y reasignar la ECU :)

[@DSEC_UK]

The Stenson Crew you need to check first that you’ve got the correct EGR kit for your engine - after swapping everything over you’re going to need to edit the ECU so it stops looking for the EGR that’s now missing. Because the EGR isn’t responding it will pop on the engine management light - I’m going to publish soon a video showing you how to do this

Hello! very good video! I have an Audi avant 2006 B7 2.0 tdi 140hp engine, I want to cancel the egr and I have some questions. First if you can place a link by ebay of the model that I need for my car, which I guess is the same as the video, and then how to remove the fault that appears on the board, after installing the kit. Thanks, good job!

[@DSEC_UK]

Thanks, I would need your engine code to make sure its right - 2.0 TDI has a couple different EGR's. Once you've got the engine code it will say on the eBay ad which engine it is for. The best way to find this out is look in your boot for a white sticker underneath the carpet next to the spare wheel. After you've installed the EGR - the ECU will pop the engine management light on, I'm working on a video showing how to fix this, it's a simple remap of the ECU that stops the engine management light from turning on - if you want to get this done you will need a MPPSv16 USB box. The next video should be done fairly soon.

[@DSEC_UK]

Jordan Jempson you’ll need to get someone with a genuine VCDS to scan and see what codes come back. I think on the newer TDI engines they’ve all got DPF’S which are problematic

[@jordanjempson4087]

[@manuortsac7592]

Jordan, your car has a dpf filter. That is the problem start to get clogged and car goes in limp mode. My skoda vrs tdi was the same problems. I took the dpf off and cuttted, removed all what is inside and weld back, dpf is there but its empty inside. Then u go somebody who remap your computer and they close the egr valve electronicaly. MORE Power more Torque and no problems ever ABOUT limp mode. I spended 350 euros to remap the computer and i did the filter myself. Hope it helps you.

[@soniclady89]

Hi DSEC UK. Have question for you - I can see the blanking plate just wondered what the larger piece of kit that you put onto the egr valve is At 106:50 in the video) The blanking plate kits I've seen come with just two plates (and gaskets). Is it necessary for the larger piece? If it is, why the 2 plates in the standard kits when I'd only need 1?? Thanks for making the video.

[@DSEC_UK]

Hey, that section connecting to the EGR pipe is called the ASV/IMF Anti Shudder Valve or Inlet Manifold Flap. You will want to give that a good clean if you're doing this job. Yeah I've seen kits with those, you'll want to make sure you're buying for the right engine, you can easily find out what engine you have by lifting the carpet in the boot and looking around the spare wheel. You should see a white label with ENG.CODE TRANS.CODE - the Audi I'm working on in the video is the 140 BKD. No worries, I wanna make some more but... everything I've got to fix would be really difficult to film without a unit and a 2-post lift :)

alrite mate crackin vid i got a 1.9tdi audi a4 b6 avant 2002 recently brought no lights on dash gave it some welly like as you do felt sluggish so i put diesel redex threw it few tanks later felt quicker better throttle response few trips down the motorway loads black soot at first as it must been blocked enyways now engine lights on and under really heavy load ie auto throttle down past the ball sometimes goes into limp mode loss off power revs up but hardly moves , haven’t had it plugged in just thinking mabye egr blocked or a boost issue causing it to go safety mode eny advice dude thanks

[@DSEC_UK]

So from what you've said a blocked EGR potentially could be the issue, being a 2002 model it's likely 150k+ miles. Injectors, Turbo's and EGR's can be problematic with higher miles - remove the inlet section and have a look inside to see if the EGR is clogged up and let me know. Should the car go into limp mode, when you pull up leave the battery off for 15 minutes and see if it stays in that mode.

[@dmanweiler]

Hey just wondering, when you took off the pipe from the egr to the cooler, did you just block it off at the cooler with a blanking plate??

[@DSEC_UK]

Hey. Yeah there was a blanking plate that covers the exit from the cooler housing. The pipe is abit of a pain to remove aswell.

[@dmanweiler]

@@DSEC_UK thanks for the quick response. The kit I got has everything to remove the entire cooler, but I'm just gonna block it off at the cooler until I upgrade the turbo. Just wanted to make sure that blocking the cooler was ok , opposed to removing. Thanks again

[@DSEC_UK]

@@dmanweiler Yeah the main reason I didn't remove the cooler aswell was because the kit I had didn't come with the right parts for the water pipes which connect to the cooler. If you want a proper kit you want to pick one up from Darkside Developements mate.

[@malpreece5008]

Hi, thanks for this vid. I just have a quick question; The part that you replaced on the EGR didn’t seem to be very clogged, and the new part was a modification, why did you decide to modify/replace the original valve? Does it help with performance? Also, would you recommend the same modification on a 2007 TDI VW Passat?

[@DSEC_UK]

Hi Mal, So, the whole reason behind removing the EGR is so that once this car has been remapped it won’t be dumping a load of carbon into the engine. I know some maps stop the EGR from kicking in all together so you don’t necessarily need to do this mod and you can simply unplug the vacuum pipe on top of the EGR to prevent it from working. I should mention as well the engines EGR has two sections, the part I replaced in this video and the EGR cooler around the back of the engine that cools the exhaust gas before its sent to the inlet (which would have been really difficult to film). Doing this mod doesn’t give a noticeable change in performance and all you’re left with after is the engine management light with the EGR fault code. Yeah, I would remove the EGR on your Passat, if you want it run cleaner internally and are looking to get it remapped in the future then why not. Cheers

[@malpreece5008]

DSEC UK Thanks for the info and advice. I’m working on the car this weekend, so I’ll see how it goes.

The stock TDI intake is actually really good, it's a downgrade to go with anything aftermarket on these cars for the intake. Check out Darkside developments and some others tests of the stock one, even going with big turbo upgrades the stock one is more than enough.

@@DSEC_UK its octavia 1.9 im driving, remapped from 105 to 145 bhp. Any danger having it removed or its all fine? Also always was curious about turbo adjusting boost etc, is it pointless? Thanks for replying

[@DSEC_UK]

Is that the Mk2 Octavia 04-13 model? I have a tested remap for that engine but it doesn't produce those figures you've quoted (unless you want a new clutch/turbo every year :) ) - the one I've got increases the power up to 136bhp and 290Nm and increases the MPG by 8%

[@Rycka9]

@@DSEC_UK Yep, its 07 pd 105 and doesn't even have dpf. Do you think that remap will put a lot of pressure on clutch turbo then? I was only really bothered about underpowered before remap and it's not a car for drag etc, so not sure if messing with egr is worth it. And its probably not 145 but 140 to estimate.

[@DSEC_UK]

It really depends how you drive it and how the map is configured, the stage 1 remap on that engine delivers roughly a 28% increase in Bhp which is obviously demanding more from certain components - the turbo is the easiest place to pull power from which places more strain on it. Same situation with the clutch the increase torque being made from the engine needs to be conducted through the drivetrain and OEM clutches will be rated to deal with so much more. How you drive it is important, if you want to maintain good reliability but with that said. life’s too short for a boring car

@@DSEC_UK I agree with you that it is a crappy design. I have been wondering if it would be worth drenching everything in EGR cleaner once a month and keep a small access hole or two with some sort of removable covers so that the cleaner could be sprayed into the worst parts? I think many of these sticking and clogged parts are due to inferior engine oils and old engine oils, possible also condensation and perhaps sometimes even crappy diesel. It would be interesting to know if a well maintained diesel which has always had high quality oil changed frequently would show less symptoms.

Remapping the EGR out will obviously cost more than a big can of cleaner... but worth it!

Doing this makes your car run lumpy and like a bag of shit at the traffic lights

wow what a clean engine bay,no dust -nothing. u must clean that on a daily basis. ,but ur polluting the air where you live 100 times more. how silly human can be,clean car in a dirty atmosphere. i cant see the logic. all these little habits for nothing, there r far more greater things that u can improve for the place you live. Ok OK if you wanted more power -remap the ecu,it would have been much faster in low and hi revs and its a TDI.

The engine works perfectly fine after the replacement, only issue is the EML is triggered. You won’t be walking anywhere 😂
