This is probably one of the best explanations I have listened to. Clear/simple and delivered at a good pace. Thank you, will let you know how we get on. We have a Ssanggyong Tivoli, not a big fan so far, lots of issues for a 2018 plate! Good pull when it works correctly but lots a steady flow of niggles including; seat heating coming on when not required, breaks wearing quickly, sluggish to start, confusing stereo and wiper systems, and initial clutch issues! Expensive despite initial purchasing prices. Shame, leather work nice and pull generally good!
Great video. Have a rattling noise at idle on a volvo v40 d3 2014. No codes. Checked with vida and when egr is activated the rattle goes as well. Any possible causes? Dreading opening it up and trying to clean it but I think I ll have a go at it. One could always learn by failure 😉.
Ordered aegr vale , just hours before see your video. Which has made be more sure this is the issue. Less power, rough idle at times and cutting out as you come to a stop.
All this EPA stuff is ruining engines. My wife’s 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee with only 20K miles on it just had an EGR go out leaving us stranded on vacation in FL. Junk.
Not sure if you'd know this but worth asking My egr valve started squirting an unknown liquid it doesn't have a smell or anything is that a symptom as well? It also idles lower than usual but I haven't dealt with the bogging out yet
3:30 I don't quite understand if the EGR is 100% off or 50% open. In which case exhaust gas enters the combustion chamber. When it stays open or when it stays closed? I couldn't understand it fully because there was a TH-cam translation error. Can you help me please?
I decided to replace mine on my 02 Jetta tdi because it was leaking pretty bad and I didn’t want to take it off and find I needed to replace something so just bought a new one and it took me about an hour to do the swap. The original one was packed with carbon build up and I’m surprised it was working at all. New one is on and all cleaned up and no leaks.
I got the egr error code and my car is shaking like crazy when its idle but i took put the egr valve amd cleaned it (it already looked pretty clean) but that didn't help. Any suggestions. I have a 2010 belta/yaris.
Maaaaan my 2010 transit connect xlt runs like CRAP, Ive rebuilt the tranny, rebuilt the engine, whole new exhaust, but not the manifold, changed plugs and coils, throttle body, all that. but for some reason my transit runs like it did before I did all this. And to mention I have no check engine light. Any reason to why mines still has sluggish acceleration and poor fuel economy??!!!
Hello. I have audi A4 2014. I had check engine light on, on computer it showed it was most likely Egr. Car was driving smooth tho, without any problems at all. Yesterday I got change Egr valve to brand new. . Today I was driving and suddenly got flashing spring thing on the dash and car went into limp mood. Was pressing gas at maximum but car was barely taking up the speed. I'm not the car guy, so i don't really understand anything. Garage is closed till Tuesday, but need car on Sunday.
I most probably had bad EGR which seems it stucked in open position I quess .. no error codes or check engine symbols .. very bad idle .. sometimes the motor even stopped running ... had to give gas to keep it running .. this happened only when the engine has warmed up .. (ford mondeo 2005) - the strange thing was that if you stopped the motor and started up again the problem usually vanished.
@@joegomez6016 No. I keep resetting it. It takes maybe 200 miles before the light comes back on. I just keep resetting it. But if I drop my gears into like second, the light will come on. I replaced the EGR 2 years ago and ran fine for a long time. I think it may be the charcoal canister? It used to top off my gas frequently and learned this is probably why? I also may have charcoal in the vacuum lines now? I did take it to the AutoZone for a scan and they said it was the EGR valve, but I think since I replaced it, that it's something else and don't want to start chasing!
I've been driving Honda's for 35 years, all together 1 500 000 km, never touched a PCV valve and EGR valve and since youtube those things are very important. I don't get it.

How to tell if the EGR is bad or throttle body the symptoms are the same??
I decided to replace mine on my 02 Jetta tdi because it was leaking pretty bad and I didn’t want to take it off and find I needed to replace something so just bought a new one and it took me about an hour to do the swap. The original one was packed with carbon build up and I’m surprised it was working at all. New one is on and all cleaned up and no leaks.
Did yours start squirting because mine did that and I'm not sure if that's normal lol
I got the egr error code and my car is shaking like crazy when its idle but i took put the egr valve amd cleaned it (it already looked pretty clean) but that didn't help. Any suggestions. I have a 2010 belta/yaris.
Figure out anything?

Hi. Is this a diesel?
I have never watch a video this detail like dang I think I know the problem can a egr be bad with no code popping up
I most probably had bad EGR which seems it stucked in open position I quess .. no error codes or check engine symbols .. very bad idle .. sometimes the motor even stopped running ... had to give gas to keep it running .. this happened only when the engine has warmed up .. (ford mondeo 2005) - the strange thing was that if you stopped the motor and started up again the problem usually vanished.
Can you have a bad EGR without showing any codes??
Did u find out if you can have a bad egr with no codes?
@@joegomez6016 No. I keep resetting it. It takes maybe 200 miles before the light comes back on. I just keep resetting it. But if I drop my gears into like second, the light will come on. I replaced the EGR 2 years ago and ran fine for a long time. I think it may be the charcoal canister?

Thanks for that
Thanks
Great, thank you
Cette vidéo m'a été utile. Merci
stuck open won't lean the mixture because no unmetered O2 will be introduced. exhaust is inert.
I've been driving Honda's for 35 years, all together 1 500 000 km, never touched a PCV valve and EGR valve and since youtube those things are very important. I don't get it.
Thank you. Expensive electronic junk.
EGR NOT EGA ?Different ?
