Various solutions for EGR Mjet and JTD systems. Alfa Romeo 159

Sir you are doing an amazing job! Thank you so much for giving away so much knowledge. Greetings from Poland

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. And thank you very much for watching! I do have a lot more to come on the channel.

[@One_over_the_eight]

You should block it at the exhaust manifold with a thicker diamond shaped plate and also using a thicker rectangular plate without holes, block it at the inlet manifod. The reason being there is a 90 degrees corrugated bend in the EGR aluminium pipe, just below the throttle body which can't take the back pressure and over time splits causing the car to go into limp mode and rendering the pipe useless. Seen it happen a few times using this method.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Thank you very much. So far never seen it happen. But I will be watching. Been doing this way for 15 years and so far not one. But, we have very low corrosion here. Maybe that helps

If I have the EGR deleted in the ECU with a software upgrade, do I still need to blank the EGR? I also have black smoke on hard acceleration, any ideas? Alfa Romeo 147 JTDm 8v 2006 180.000km.

[@One_over_the_eight]

@@CostaTropicaldeGranada Black smoke is a sign of over fueling. Check all your vacuum and charge pipes thoroughly for splits and cracks. Even the smallest hidden split can cause this. If air is escaping after the MAF then you'll have the wrong air/fuel mixture metered by the ECU in the combustion chamber.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

@CostaTropicaldeGranada hello. Yes, is better to black it. Like I showed on a previous video on a 147. For the smoke can be the intake hose between the MAF and the turbo. Can also be an intercooler pipe

Once upon a time I brought my car to a mechanic, who told me that I have my DPF switched off in ECU.. I checked up DPF before buying a car. It had around 30% pollution and there were no plug installed. But, he knows better I thought, and admitted installing a plug. 50 km later I heard loud whistle from under the bonnet. I went back. He told me my turbo is dead. 1.5 thousands for turbo + 1 thousand for a job. I convinced him to remove a plug for free and he heard me leaving him forever with no whistle.

Hello, I have a 159 1.9 16v JTDM from 2007, will there be no engine failure or does alfa have a different system.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Fault code will be present 2005 forward

[@mark737-c4x]

Hello i bought a 159 with 1.9 16 valve diesel after driving car home 100kms on freeway to my horror when i opened bonnet a big oil leak from charge pipe oil all over firewall of car changed oring and oil leak persists any ideas? Thanks.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. You may have a ruptured pipe. Follow the one that comes from the intake to the intercooler. That one usually goes bad.

[@woomdader]

How to remove yellow engin led to the controle panel ?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

About the egr blank? You have to remap (not talking about increasing power)

[@dannydkasel8296]

So, if i get that correct ... EGR can be blocked @8V 115Hp 1.9 156 with a thin plate without wholes? And then, Software must be adjusted?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. On 156 8v, no software required. Only on 156 16v and all 159s

[@dannydkasel8296]

@@alfaromeonoproblem ... thank you, and every ecu-tuner can do that? My second question is ... why don´t you use Multiecuscan ... it´s cheap and nearly perfect for Fiat and Alfa Romeo

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

@dannydkasel8296 every tuner should be able. But all can Autel has the MES Inside, always updated. Also can be used for all makes and models and it has all factory softwares. Like MES

[@pietervandermerwe7454]

I want to do that modification on my GT. Is there any downside of this mod . Some people say that it will rise the temperature to some components like turbo ect under certain driving conditions. What's your opinion?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. The down sides are the higher combustion temperatures , more NoX emissions. On the plus side, no clogging

[@DashCamSerbia]

And with the down sides, you can't do anything about. But with the plus side, you can just rutinelly clean it. So I realy don't see any positive in doing this. Just emmiting more poison that people behind you need to breath in...

[@WendenWarrior]

​@@alfaromeonoproblemcan that mean turbo can fail early?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

@emilz85 no, not really. But the heads can crack. But is very rare on cf3.

[@bhekisony7034]

My 159 2.4 jtdm is showing P0403 EGR will this help help my car to regain power as it doesn't reach 2000rpm when driving

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. Do a totally closed one. If it resolves you have a stuck egr valve. Clean it very well and then use a restricted version of the gasket.

[@WickedLeo82]

I het the p0488 and p0490 on my 2.0 jtdm, but my egr is disabled through software, so I am puzzled what would cause these code to be brought up

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. You must check with the remap guy for that, maybe is not done properly

[@the_steko]

so what delete gastet do i need to buy to alfa romeo 159 1,9jtdm 2006, and i also dont know what swirl flaps delete kit to buy....like how do i know what OM number does my motor has, its so frustrating, pls help

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. For the 16v can be like this one. Make your own. For the swirl flaps I have several videos for that

[@bhekisony7034]

i have this problem with my 159 2.4 it shows this code P0403 when diagnosed with the engine light on and poor accelaration not passing 2000 rpm

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. Use the testing gasket to make sure then

[@DashCamSerbia]

10:32 Same mileage as mine. 😄

[@DashCamSerbia]

Why do FIAT/Alfa diesel engines take a long cranking to start (like 40 seconds or so) after the EGR is removed, cleaned and put back?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. All that time, normally injectors or hi pressure fuel pump is bad. Or you mean right after doing the egr? Carbon falls in to the intake valves and they cannot close all the way. Compression is missed

[@DashCamSerbia]

@@alfaromeonoproblem Yes, right after. A few people are mentioning that same problem on varoious forums. Thank you, I will tell them.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

@DashCamSerbia tell them not to mess with that. They can lock the engine with the carbon that can fall in.

[@DashCamSerbia]

@@alfaromeonoproblem Though they say that they have cleaned everything and there is nothing left of carbon to fall in. But it probably falls in while removing the EGR. Not sure. Thank you again.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

@DashCamSerbia they say is one thing, what they do is another

[@sup3rbosseur]

Oh yeah a other video for the 159 about the main problem on JTD : THHHE EGGGGRRR

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Many more to come! Including manifold clean, removal, swirl delete. And more

[@DashCamSerbia]

Same with all diesel engines. Nobody bothers to cleam them, so when they clog up and start making problems, they just block it off and let other people deal with that problem (by breathing in more poison gasses)...

[@DashCamSerbia]

@@alfaromeonoproblem I think that swirl "problems" are also caused just by lack of maintenence (lack of cleaning). So when they gunk up and seize, of course, they can break.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

@DashCamSerbia I will many more videos about that issue.

[@DashCamSerbia]

ok ma come l'hai esclusa dalla centralina?

Hello. You have to do a remap
