    Your not cleaning the EGR valve. The EGR valve is on the opposite side of the combustion chamber next to the EGR cooler.

      @@BestCarMods he is right, you were just cleaning the part that connects egr line to the intake. Egr valve is next to the exhaust manifold directly attached to the egr cooler.
      In other hand the thing you were cleaning really looks like a egr valve. Could there be 2 of those or some mod were it has been moved there?

      @@t.t7225 depends on generation of engine. maybe you have a euro6 or a different version. in theory(reading the Self Study Documentation on the 2.0tdi common rail engine ) they could have High pressure and low pressure EGRs (if i remember correctly)... one that is the classic from the exhaust manifold and another after the DPF... personally i cleaned only the one in the video.

    I get p200200 code on an Audi A4 2016. It says particle filter malfunction. The car is supposed to self-clean the DPF, and as far as I understand, a clogged EGR cooler can cause increased pressure on the DPF and its sensor. Any suggestions?

    • @BestCarMods
      @BestCarMods  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      diagnose the dpf issue & perform the preventive maintenance aka clean the intake + flaps + egr. your dpf might have issues due to many other factors ( loss of pressure - broken pipes, driving style, bad fuel, bad turbo and so on ).

    • @ionkon
      @ionkon ปีที่แล้ว

      @BestCarMods it seems an expensive fix. I don't have the tools or the knowledge to diagnose this issue. In Norway, the speed limit is 80km, and the car is probably everywhere clogged (egr, turbo, valves, dpf). I use Shell V-Power diesel only, and recently, I forced a DPF regeneration through the car's ECU. If the car needs to go in a garage and get all these components cleaned (if not replaced), I am looking at huge bill.

    • @BestCarMods
      @BestCarMods  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@ionkon the speed limit should not be a problem. without properly inspecting the car is it impossible to give you an idea on what is wrong. like a doctor you need to do some tests to assess the patient.

    • @ionkon
      @ionkon ปีที่แล้ว

      @BestCarMods Indeed, the only thing I noticed is that after removing the faulty code, it takes 2-3 days of normal car use for the check engine light to reappear. I'm not sure if that's the ECUs checking interval, or if there is something that gets activated/deactivated and causes the error to come back. It usually turns on while I am driving to work.
