there's no way i'm taking this on 🙁 best work some overtime and pay a professional to do it.
How many hours does it take?
Is it worth cleaning EGR or only replace it? I have problems with EGR in Sharan, and I think cleaning might resolve them. Or should I go ahead and replace it so as not to waste time reassembling -> cleaning -> assembling -> seeing that it didn't help -> reassembling -> replacing with a new one -> assembling.
Thanks.
Great video!!!
If i tune my car and do a EGR and DPF delete, do i still gonna have leak from the EGR ventil or not?
Make sure you replace to turbo pipe gasket otherwise you will likely have an oil leak!
Remove drive shaft.
What was the code the gave for you to replace it.
Really great video, helped me out no end. I had problems re-using the turbo pipe gasket, a new one solved my oil leak issue and was £5 from VW. If you aren’t buying a genuine EGR you will probably need this.
I wouldnt charge no less than 200quid labour to do this.dont like it? Please by all means go find another mechanic to do this.i dont need the grey hair.
i have very big arms and i find the 10min to take out the drive give me a lot of space
Awful task competed by an expert! Another great video Gerard.
Great video.
What part have ppl used to replace? So many different ones and prices?
What a pain in the arsehole.
In polo 2014 diesel you must declare with a diagnostic the replacement of the valve?
Can I simply get someone to map out the egr valve?
I have a caddy 2017 same EGR, 80.000 km , I just wonder is the right time to take it out and clean it ?? Is worth it ?? Thanks
Iv just done this in my own car , I’m a plumber by trade I watched few videos before I started ! I thought I’d take of the valve to see how hard it was before buying a new one to see if there was any visible faults but all seemed ok just abit clogged up , I cleaned and put back plbit still faulty so I think electrics have gone ! Overall I didn’t think it was that hard and I did it on axle stands ! I took out drive shaft too! The only problem I had was the turbo return pipe has small amount oil leaking from top connection so when I replace the new valve I’m waiting for . I’ll make a video and do a step by step replacement ! Soo all diy people can give it ago but you will need many tools
Bloody driveshafts
Removing the right drive shaft makes everything easier. Left hand drive cars have more room making it easier to remove the egr or the dpf.
Just changed my daughters golf egr
What a pig of a job
Good job I have a two post lift as dont think possible without
Thanks for the video
Great help
Absolutely brilliant seeing it can be done as it has been, I have a 1978 mini too so can reach around blind corners!
My current car is Skoda Octavia with the same engine, my previous car was Audi a4 3.0tdi. To be honest 3.0tdi was hundred times easier to work on.
Tanks. Great video. I removed the drive shaft Also, Made IT a lot more roomi
CUNT A JOB!!!. I just did one today – SHITVAGEN.
Does the new egr valve have to be programmed in to the ecu on the car with a laptop or can you just crack on without any proggramming
