Great video. I replaced my EGR this weekend and this video helped me a lot. Gerard is right, this job is not a sprint. You need lots of tools, time, and effort. I took my time and removed the EGR on Sat and installed new one on Sunday.
Hi Gerard, I’ll be tackling this job for the first time this week, I knew it was a pig of a job because the location and access. Thx for the vid very helpful and wish me luck cheers👍
Just carried out this job on 2013 Touran today and all went well thanks to this video so thanks!
Just a couple more tips - I removed the subframe complete with steering rack and the O/S drive shaft which then gives much better access to the back of the engine. Once that is all out of the way the removal and installation of the egr valve only takes 1.5 hrs. Also - except for the top exhaust 13mm bolt, nothing needs to removed from above (So leave heatshield / sensors and air box in place!)
Thank you for advice
Thank you professor for all the valuable information you have in a car of vw5 that produces thick black smoke. I want you to solve this problem. If you are kind enough to answer, I will be grateful to you.
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.
Gerard this is a gold production mate ..!
Thanks so much for your help and support..
Just a thought it’d good to know the book log for hours and then the actual time taken including what you had for lunch so (spam of no spam ) haha
Great job ..!
😂 Irish tea is a must….
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
Glad it helped Mark, thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.
great explanation, great job, thanks a lot, now I feel more comfortable to tackle this job
Thanks Daniel
Hi Gerard Burke.I do that job without removing feed and return turbo pipe,that save a time and prevent of oil leak from that place.There is plenty of room to slide that EGR valve in to the gearbox side.To make that job easer i always remove bottom engine mount and tilt engine forward and block in that position by wooden block between subframe and diff. Normally whole that operation took me 1h25min out and in new valve. Regards from Poland
Incredible time, well done to you :) Thanks for the comment and info
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage you welcome :)
I just did this job. I ended up removing the turbo oil pipe to access the right hand egr fixing bolts, they were difficult enough to remove even then. How did you get them out with the oil pipe still in place?
I managed the job in 3.5 hrs remove and refit, but it was my first attempt.
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage hi what brand of egr valve do you use .is it aftermarket one ? Thanks
Hello, can someone tell me which brand of agr should I buy vemo,hitachi,pierburg,wagber or nissens?
Regards
What a really helpful video. Very grateful.
Thank you Robert.
Absolutely brilliant seeing it can be done as it has been, I have a 1978 mini too so can reach around blind corners!
Thanks John, I appreciate that.
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage Master error P145F in 1.6 tdi engine appeared during dpf regeneration too high mass air flow during regeneration ... What can it be and how to fix it ..
Great video, would be interested to know if you have done another since and whether you did anything differently to cut the time down? Any tips would be lovely. Thanks
You're the best on whole TH-cam. The best video about this operation. I've made an idea on how to remove my egr om my skoda. I am mechanic to, but without experience. I hope I could do that. On your opinion, I could use some ramps instead of the lift/elevator? I wil do this operation on my backyard.
thank you for the video!
very good video
Great info thanks
But if a nightmare of a job. Well done for showing how it’s done. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴
Cheers Alan
Great video
Thanks
Hello,
And thanks for all your nice videos, I would like to ask you a question, after replacing the EGR valve of my 2012 Sharan VW 2L TDI, do I have to make the adjustment for the new valve?
Many thanks in advance for your reply.
I just removed mine. Did it on the driveway and obviously don't have the car lifted up. It was quite difficult considering this additional limitation. I think just because of that a removed driveshaft would have helped, true also this would take some extra time.
Just tackled this job at work. Bad enough on a ramp. Wouldn't attempt on my back ha ha! The egr pipe on the left a pig to get those t30s out.
I left sensors in exhaust and just moved to get to top right t30 cooler screw to engine. Again not easy.
Start to finish 6 hrs! A lot quicker next time tho you learn I guess.
Helpful video tho thanks
Tnx , man on this 👍
Well replacing EGR needs any other adjustment or you remove it erase any errors in dashboard and you're good to go? (I get P0405 in my Seat Ibiza 6J and seems like my EGR is bad)
Great video.
🙏🙏👌
Hi ger...have the same year and model golf...showing egr fault code. Just a question...should the egr motor make an audible motorised noise when you switch ignition on when cold (before starting engine)? As mine is not doing that and I suspect the motor is the problem as I can manually move motorised hook easily in situ
Definitely a great help. Had one done on a Tiguan by a garage. but the fault light is still there.
now 2 fault lights on after changing. Engine and the coil light( Flashing) car slow unable to climb hills. Thanks for the great video
They didnt do the job right
Removing the bolts with many extension bars is great but how do you get it back in without crossthreading it?
Hi guys, I have checked all motors and moving parts of this module and I am asking what is the common failing part of it.
What can be cleared and is it good option to clear the electric part and replace the cooler or what you will suggest?
Second question what brand has best price/quality ratio ?
The car is vw passat 2012 140hp without bluemotion and it has 82000 on the board (it has history that prove that number is real)
Can these be manually re-learned, ie without using diagnostic equipment??
i got P0404 code do i need to replace the whole thing like you did or can i just buy a new valve (i got VW jetta 2007) because i did not see just the valve to be sold seperatly or i am not using the right name for it when searching
Wanna help.me fix my mk5 golf 1.9tdi not losing coolant temp sensor goes of for being low then undo expansion tank and level back to normal ?oil perfect no leaks
Would it not have been beneficial to remove the right hand driveshaft?
In polo 2014 diesel you must declare with a diagnostic the replacement of the valve?
What a ball ache of a job 😐
Thanks for sharing..
Hi Gerard had had a oil leak under the turbo where inlet and outlet oil supply pipes meet. Was I suppose to replace that gasket or what could have gone wrong. I noticed after the car was idling that it was leaking slightly. Great video i sorted my EGR fault.
Hello Gerard, there's a black plastic cover in the back of the EGR motor that covers EGR moving mechanism, I would like to ask you if the black plastic cover can be removed with out removing EGR from the engine? Great video and very informative. Thanks for posting
Just done one on a 2011 plate audi tt quattro,not nice with the transfer box in the way.hate being a machanic sometimes.😞😞
cant you replace just the valve without a cooler ? wouldnt it be possible and much eazier and faster ??
best to remove R/H driveshaft to ease removal of Cooler unit.
Brilliant, thank you for doing this vid Sir. A quick question if I may, IF doing this job again, would you consider removing the right-hand driveshaft completely, in order to gain greater space, and, consequently save time in the long run? Regards, GT
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!!!
i had the pleasure of doing one of these on a octavia, my method was to drop the subframe and get the dpf out the way. much easier to get to those fiddly rusted bolts
chocolate teaspoon thanks for the information
I had heard of that prior to doing it but when assessing it I thought it might take longer that way. I also heard about the driveshaft removal too but again I didn't think it would save me time. If I was at another one I reckon (typical mechanic saying) I could get through it a lot quicker, simply because I had to remove the oil supply feed to the turbo a few times due to a failed gasket, and I found the quickest way with my tool setup to get that hardest ones in and out fast.
What time frame would you have done it in? I can Imagine I will be doing a lot more of these in the coming years.
i think it was somewhere in the region of 4-5 hours total, the power steering was an electric column so disconnect the rack joint, stab links, outer steering and lower swivel joints, gearbox lower mount, then the subframe can be unbolted. the driveshaft and dpf can then easily be removed
maybe not alot of difference in time to you but i prefer to have as much room as i can, specially when some of the bolts looked like they didnt want to come out
If i tune my car and do a EGR and DPF delete, do i still gonna have leak from the EGR ventil or not?
Very good video.I was interested where the dv valve location is but you did not mentioned it. If you could point it to me would be great because i cant find it.thank you.We wait for more videos like this.
My Mrs 65 plate audi A1 s line looks like the egr is at the front. I read somewhere that they later changed the position.
How many hours was it to chance? I have to do the same I think error code is egr valve open circuit replace or can it be cleaned?
What part have ppl used to replace? So many different ones and prices?
Hi Gerard...The EGR valve is on the other side of my 2011 Audi A4 . Wondering if you have a tutorial for that model set up ?
Hello, you dont mention what year and engine size. Do your instructions apply to all cars or just a specific year, model, and engine size? Thank you!
Top tip replace the gasket on the oil supply feed pipe to the turbo
I only read this comment when the engine was already started for the first time🤣 A new seal will come tomorrow. But thank you and this is good advice!
Hiya, I've just replaced the egr valve on a 2013 vw 2.0 but now I have a whistling sound when i accelerate? Anyone know what's causing that?
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
Plug and play, sometimes basic setting but very rare
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
Hi I plan to do this job at home in my garage o. Axle stands. Did you ever mange to do a step by step video?
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.
Help I got a 2011 jetta tdi has code p040B any help is appreciated
Have a VW ea189 engine from new got it too 165000 miles egr failed replaced then failed 11 months later 175000 now at 200000 and failing again any ideas why? It didn't have emissions thing fixed by main dealership and apparently it's a genuine part from vw
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.
Thanks for sharing this Ger, how long would this job take you? Without the filming and editing obviously it delayed you a bit.
I would say clear your day :) ha ha with everything taken into consideration like, rechecking fault codes & making sure the coolant system is free from air etc rechecking for any oil leaks before and after test drive. I would say 4 1/2 - 5 hours. I had mechanics say that expect to have it for the full day and they were right. I was at this one quiet a long time. Like any job the second time would be easier knowing every trick to speed it up. This game is not a race I say to every apprentice that I have work with, rushing through the job to break time records over time will cause mistakes. If I did not re check the job it would have been losing small amounts of oil. You know most of that already :)
No need to remove oil feed or return, I used to do 3-4 of these a week depending on, also wouldn't even think about putting anything but a genuine VW part in anything else is waste of time, nice job I'd gladly do a few of these a week if they came my way, but it's not a race take time and no interruptions 👍
What was the code the gave for you to replace it.
So how did you undo the top of the last crooked pipe? 2 hours spend and still no result. Thanks
If you look @3:30 you will see my set up, I used multiple 1/4 inch extensions, the slimmer 1/4 allows the socket to just be slim enough to remove. I hope this helps.
Is this the same as vw caddy 2015 1.6 please mate ?
The EGR unit on a 2011 Polo TDI (cfwa engine) looks exactly the same as the one you're doing..
Did you use a code reader to establish faults with the unit?
The Polo had fault code P0405. I removed the valve motor, the bit with the electrics plug, checked the operation of the valve in the main body by working the geared lever that the motor works, then reassembled it. Doing that extinguished the Engine Management light.
Awful task competed by an expert! Another great video Gerard.
Thank you Paul, I appreciate it.
Tanks. Great video. I removed the drive shaft Also, Made IT a lot more roomi
I went to the garage they say to order a new egr system. They never talk about cleaning. So what i understand from here is that even replacing the part will cause same issue in future. Isnt it? 🤔
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
Yes, you can just clean that
My girlfriend has a 2013 polo tdi with the engine light on, diagnostic says egr valve is faulty so i have bought a replacement but shall i fit it myself or get it done at a garage? Im not a mechanic and i only have a socket set, any advice is appreciated
My thoughts from your comment would be to highly recommend bringing it to a garage, it will save you a massive headache :)
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage £700 later will also make your pocket ache
Is that on the 1.6tdi Ger? If i want to blank the egr on my 2012 passst is it a straightforward blanking plate and remap? Thanks Ger
Hello Paul, Sorry for the delay, I find it very difficult to get through all the comments and its not possible a lot of the time.
Regarding the EGR delete it is not that difficult I believe, I have never blanked an EGR permanently for obvious reasons with the workshops I was involved in. With remaps there are a whole host of cowboys out there including plenty that operated in the West of Ireland which ended up giving me extra work fixing problems they created.
Use a trusted company or workshop that has good reviews of this type of work being done. I hope this helps and Happy Christmas to you and yours.
Gerard Burke Thanks Ger
Does anyone know if this valve can be cleaned?
How many hours does it take?
I've just replaced the EGR valve on a Golf 6 2.0 TDI with an new original one together with all the gaskets and accessories required.
I've also cleaned the throttle body and the plastic intake gallery on the inside.
After this operation, the car developed a problem it never had before, when the car does the normal DPF regeneration, the idle is fluctuating badly up and down, it goes under 800rpm and over 1100rpm when i'm wainting at a traffic light.
Before the replacement, the regeneration would bring the RPM at around 1000 when the car stood still and it would stay like that, no fluctuations.
I should also mention that the sound of the engine also changed a bit, it's a bit more rought, before it was sounding buttering smooth.
Any ideas what could it be ?
Hi, noticed your comment. I’m having a similar issue with my VW 2.0 TDI. Very rough idle when engine is cold or stationary. Did you manage to resolve your issue? Thanks
@@mightyakram2003 Unfortunately not, I've went to a VW dealership and a few well known mechanics. Nobody knows for sure what is causing the rough idle and harsh sound after 2800rpm. On the tester, the car seems to be in parameters...
What make is the EGR valve you are replacing
I honestly can't remember, I sourced it from a local parts supplier and it had a 1 year warranty from memory. If I was still in Ireland I would look up the part invoice for you but I am in OZ now so it is not possible.
Can you get stuff to clean an egr valve
I have golf 2011 gdi bluemotion, lately I start to smell bad exhaust smell inside cabin. It happens sometimes. Bluemotion stop working and angine smell really hevy exhaust and the fan running high. Is this error because of bad egr???
Injector seal?
Its a regen, dpf is cleaning itself by injecting more fuel and warming up exhaust very hot. Regen takes about 20 minutes. Dont use modern diesel car on short journeys, not worth it. Fan is turning on becouse of heat from exhaust, its normal thing while regen is on.
would you fit a remanufactured egr cooler or only go with brand new.
don't think the vw coolers are separable from the valve...
@@codetutor6593 i have seen others clean out the cooler passages with oven cleaner,spray foam.It would appear to work ok,do you have an opinion on this?
Can I simply get someone to map out the egr valve?
Direct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that the EGR cooler not the valve?
Sir how to buy that new egr
It's so much easier to drop subframe and dpf
Britons best loving taxi no more me thinks
Can this egr be cleaned?
I had my egr replace on my 1.6 ibiza because the vacuum valve seized up. Ever sins the old egr was replaced I've been getting either exhaust gas or burning off of oil smell that gets inside of the car. The garage that did it has closed down. Taken it to a couple of garages and cant find a fault. Could it be a faulty gasket? Any ideas?
blank the egr....i have same prob hope mine is sorted tomorrow.will update u
i have very big arms and i find the 10min to take out the drive give me a lot of space
Do I have to drain the coolant to do this job?
watch the video noob
@@dizl0l lol did it without draining the coolant
@@dizl0l comment was over a year ago Too you’re a little late
@@DdoubleEE726 ...nooob
So the EGR valve is a pretty common fault, shall we design the new engine so it's a completely hideous job to replace it? Maybe it's so no one would bother taking it off to clean it out. Have to buy a new main dealer part! I have to do one of these today so I'm weeping a little. Thanks for the video.
Hope it went well for ya :)
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage I got it done ok mate. Took me about 6 hours. Not the nicest job to do though. Thanks for your video, it helped a lot.
@@noddylloyd 6hrs for the whole replacement ?
@@N-e.o Yeah. Definitely a good idea to take the driveshaft off. A guy at my work did one before without taking it off. Struggled the whole job and then had to take it off anyway! Doh!
I see your part is not an original replacement but instead it's an aftermarket part. I have been advised by garage that it has to be an original part and that after market would go bad within 24 hours. Please can you advise whether you've had any issues with your new after market part?
Absolutely no issue since install. That is a lie about aftermarket parts. Buy from a reputable Motor Factor that has warranty on the part and you can't go wrong.
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage it turns out the garage were wrong. I took it to another garage and fixed the issue with £100. Sold my VW. Never going back! Far too many issues with the 1.6tdi.

Make sure you replace to turbo pipe gasket otherwise you will likely have an oil leak!
Is this a diesel?
It's even more awkward on the audi a3 Quattro.
These egr valve are a pain had to replace 4 in 230thousand miles on a 2010 transporter 2.0 tdi 140
Looks like an absolute nightmare of a job.
Yeah im not doing that myself sod that!
I'm removing all of the exhaust restriction parts. My EGR is unplugged because my car runs like shit with it. Race pipe soon
Don't take half of that stuff off when I'm doing them
Do you need any specialist tools for this? The VW Workshop manuals list the following:
Lambda probe open ring spanner set.
Engine Support Device
Yet to find the bit where either are needed as navigating the manuals online is a right pain in the arse!
Anyone who's done it offer any advice?
Also how does it compare in difficulty with replacing a turbo?

Being quoted €800 by a VW dealership to get a new egr valve , am I being robbed...
Yes what about labour on top . Cant get the valve eurocarparts 250 ish or 300 .I've been quoted its 5 hour job around 550 pitlane garage luton then vat . 😥 sadly car drives perfectly no check engine light or error code for egr issue. Even when car loses power struggles up hill has no pull white smoke .just been told its issue with alot of diesels. What cant understand why I'm not getting an error code ..dealership are just making money for models after they sold and well get problems because the emission palaver. Its all a con and to take it out of the average diyer
ashiq shah Thanks for the reply , bought the golf nearly a year ago and it had been plugged out by the garage and never came up on the system and only found out when I brought it in for a service . They plugged it and back in and boom no power , careless for the next 3 weeks waiting on part.
@@jamiemulligan7000 gave my car back had it 3 days bloody thing never went wrong ,no error codes nothing .but he said symptoms I explained point to egr valve possibly sticking ,choked up with carbon .until shows up on as fault or packs up dont fancy spending 600 with vat added probably a little more .good luck with your motor .on most cars it would be at the front apparently on some golfs its accessible. Cheaper job .see article that says every 50000 miles have valve cleaned out .disgusting con by vw or manufacturers of egr valves
ashiq shah .
Got this done on a 11 passat,900euro vw egr valve done in a bosch service centre.350 for the part then the rest is labour and vat .When you see the work involved do not expect any mechanic to do this for nothing.Its a days work.
