Hi thank you so much, explained very well how to take the thing off. I think it would be easier to dismount the whole assembly (valve+cooler) instead of separating the two. But I did it anyway because I wasn't certain this would be my issue. Sadly, one of the screws going into the exhaust manifold broke, so be careful to, maybe let your engine heat up a little beforehand? Or maybe put some WD-40 on those two screws. Last thing you didn't mention is the mileage, mine had 180k kms and looked as dirty as yours, I also had the error code (low egr pressure) so if anyone has the error code and that much kms, it's almost certain that this part is the issue
thanks a lot a lot a lot, at last I have found the real explanation of how it looks inside how works and giving tips what is important in cleaning and replacing
Top ta vidéo, j’ai exactement le même problème. Peux-tu me dire s’il faut faire une adaptation avec le VCDS après avoir changé la vanne EGR par une neuve ?
Again, great video. I need to replace my Egr on our 2012 a4 avant as the garage quoted £700. Please tell me, what tool is needed to remove the pipes you pointed to at 10:52 with the large star like heads. Thanks again for your video.

Make sure you use a bit of cloth to loch the bit in the ratchet spanner so you don’t lose it and it will work as a charm. There is not much room. Next video will be about how to change you hex drive key of the oil pump because it will round it off and won’t drive oil pump and you will have engine failure. Thanks for watching, please subscribe.
I am doing my EGR right now and thanks to your help I have it off. Access is real tight ay. Just a quick one, when fitting the new valve and cooler do you fit it dry straight out of the box or do you need to fill the cooler with coolant first? Thanks again!!
Nice video. Did you lose much coolant when removing the pipes? Did the system need coolant topping up and bleeding for air, once everything was back together?
Hi thanks for watching it. The valve unit i guess it holds around half a liter of coolant or less and it will leek a bit when removing. What i did I kept all the blanks of new fuel filters and used them to blank pipes and had no leaks while waiting for the part to arrive. Topped up just a bit and then run engine till it got to 90 and then check level again. If you do it yourself home make sure you get it somewhere to calibrate the EGR valve on the car otherwise it will get blocked again quickly and say every 50k miles take it of and clean it . Keeps engine and dpf happy
@@timgoldsmith9126 i have struggled with an Allan key torx head tool. It was a pain because i had a long one only at that time. I have bought that t30 while i was waiting for the part to arrive. Go ahead and buy yourself one because it needs taking off the EGR valve from time to time and clean it so you gonna need it . Like share and subscribe. God speed.

Salut. Am.si eu un audi a4 b8.5 cu motor 2.0 tdi cglc. Am eroarea pe tester p0401. Am simtit doar odata in mers un intrerupt si apoi merge normal.sa fie egr infundat?
Dacă ai desfăcut răcitor la egr ai înlocuit garnitura?ai un cod pt ea te rog?vreau și eu sa il desfac sa il curat.si ce alte garnituri mai trebuie înlocuite?
@@silviugligor2395 salutare, nu am cod , racitorul am desfacut doar sa arat cauza codului de eroare si in general problema cu EGR , am inlocuit piesa cu o unitate noua OEM Valeo. Recomand piesele originale.

Hi, thanks for watching. Don’t open it on the car itself. Take it completely off the car and then open it. There is a steel seal and you can’t tighten it properly . You will find then the right torx

@@ciprianandronescu3339 eram interesat dacă pot desface doar racitorul fără sa demontez și valvola.... Am întrebat pe diferite persoane și mi-au spus ca fără a demonta valvola nu se poate. Eu la tine în video dacă nu ma înșel am văzut ca au desfăcut inițial doar racitorul.... Mulțumesc de raspunsa
Am desfacut da , dar m-am chinuit. Nu recomand sa desfaci doar racitorul pt ca are o garnitura de tabla si e greu de desfacut apoi la montat e si mai greu si risti sa nu etanseze bine si o sa iti scape antigel in partea de gaze si le baga in motor in ardere si numai rau faci de acolo. . Dat jos complet si curatat. Oricum valvele o sa fie si ele blocate asa cel mai bine urmareste tot clipul si vezi acolo cum dai toata unitatea jos si gata. Daca te gandesti sa o schimbi cu totul pune doar pe original Valeo. Si trebuie calibrat EGR pe masina altfel o sa deschida flapsurile doar la valoarea de acum si gradul de incarcare de acum ca si asta veche de pe masina. Succes.

Top up coolant in the expansion tank and run engine in idle for few minutes. Then take it for a drive and top up again if need it. No special procedure
