Awesome video! very clear and well narrated. I have a 2009 and after the :"Dieselgate" mod that was done by the local dealer, my mpg has been dropping like a rock, the DPF light & and check engine light have illuminated, and now the fan runs for about 12 minutes after you shut the car off. Man, I have to do something and I have been told to do a DPF and EGR delete and that will get my mileage back up into the 50's. What ia your opinion of that idea? ( Plus cleaning the intake manifold) I love your channel and have subscribed so keep the great content coming.
I do appreciate your kind words. Thank you Sir. Yeah the new ones are smothered with all the pollution restriction crap. Those cars in Europe get great mileage without all the added junk.
My personal opinion, if the state you live in does care about check engine light as far as inspection, DPF and EGR delete is a must. Your Mpg will blow your mind afterwards.
But unfortunately after doing those your car will have a check engine light on. But there is another way around that, there are companies that can flash your computer to run with those mods without the check engine light. 🤷🏼♂️
I hope this helps.
If you have a check engine light you may be running in Limp Mode that puts the care in safe operation mode that is very inefficient. Get the CEL off and your mileage should improve. I just had an issue much like that but it was the flapper valve. Lost 25% on mileage until it was fixed. Motor operated fine but terrible MPG.
I have same problem. 38 Hwy and 20mpg city......help

I drive a Jetta 1.9 TDI AHF motor on
406,000 Kms.
I reside in South Africa
Do oil and filter change every 10K Kms .
I use Prolong diesel 15/40 engine oil.
No clogged Egr or intake manifold.
Still original turbo .

No sludge buildup.
Original exhaust
Original cv's
Jetta still runs well.
Nice man!!!!! I’m thinking about checking my intake and egr for soot buildup soon as well thanks for the advice!
Anytime, hopefully yours isn’t this bad. Nasty stuff , wear gloves. 👍🏻
@@VikingsGarage just do an egr delete and you will never run into that problem having to clean your intake
Great video, thanks!

@@VikingsGarage all the thanks to you brother!
That’s dedication in that weather😎
I know right, 😉
great video! keep em coming
Thank you, I appreciate that.
I sprayed Oven cleaner in through my egr while in situ, I’m guessing it filled the inlet manifold too
It struggled to start then blew an almighty amount of crap out.
2003 beetle 1.9 ATD PD
It ran fine with no faults but now it runs better.
I did blank my egr but reconnected it after disconnecting it threw up the engine light and my MPG dropped severely (we don’t need that with todays fuel prices)
So after the oven cleaner treatment, egr connected again my mpg has gone right up 👍🏼👍🏼
Edit, I blanked the vacuum pipe to the egr not the egr body piece
🤘✌️ have the same engine did the same many years from now. Interesting thing was that going from 1.5 centimeters intake to it's full size that is 5cm or something didn't change anything at all. It was running same before cleaning as after...anyway this is must to do thing on tdi's
👍🏻
Engine load makes the biggest difference in how much it gets clogged up. I had it clogged up like 5 times less, just a quarter inch thick. It really depends how a person drives the car. Low RPM (1300-1600) driving makes it clog up very fast. I drove my car always around 2000 RPM and up and it pays. Gotta say it had 250k km when I cleaned it. Another thing that clogs it up is oil leak from turbo or crankcase valve, which makes the oil sucked through the intake and it makes these nasty big chunks.
Owen cleaner foam works better on hot pieces,you need to heat torch the manifold and then you can see the foam dissolving the sout
Didn’t think of that, will know for next Time. Thank you for sharing!
Great video bro 👍
My little daily I’ve owned for 17 years, a Mk4 2003 TDi , 90bhp, @ 200,000 miles, built like a Tiger Tank, same clutch, only on its 2nd battery, is just the most reliable car I’ve ever owned! Starts with one turn of the key, so much torque and returns 55 mpg regularly and on a long run 65 mpg plus!
Only problems ….as the UK roads at the moment have feckin great big potholes EVERY feckin where you drive, is suspension repairs!! The UK, 7th richest country in the world and can’t even manage to repair its own road infrastructure 😠😠😠
What a feckin joke the UK is 😠 Sorry, rant over!
Lol 😜
I'm in Chicago and just when you think most potholes are fixed and its not so bad winter causes a bunch of new ones. Same car as you if its a Golf (GLI seat swap, 6sp swap, 1019 injectors etc).
Best mod I did to my car was 1.5" lift spacers and biggest oversize tires that could fit. Mpg took a hit and noticeably more roll but trade off was well worth it for me. Still get ~50mpg driving it like I stole it in the city and I can drive over curbs and bomb rough streets like its nothing - I also do go off-road boondock camping.
@@h82fail I’m jelous bro ☹️ I was even considering changing to a Dacia Duster as they’ve plenty of fat rubber on the road to get better pothole improvement 🤔 Can you message your lifter part number and tyre and wheel size combo please and I’ll price it up to c the total cost over here 👍
If it’s a common size I’ll try the scrap yards
Same shit in the USA, and we’re supposed to be the richest country in the world. But when all the money is spent on bums & illegals, guess that’s whatcha get.
I love those motors!

Hell yeah let's see that 750!!!
Amazing cars!
5:08 Hahaha every one who owns this car knows that frustrating alarm sound when you go to start it. BTW when you said the EGR doesn't even close my thought was "that's not normal?". I guess I'll be taking a look.
Crazy right
I'm an aircraft mechanic, hardly ever work on cars, but am capable. Is EGR & DPF difficult? Clean or replace? I know my check engine light is due to these. 3 shops so far said replace both (damn expensive) but isn't cleaning more logical? The quotes were ridiculous so I'm hoping to do it myself. 2012 TDI Golf 2.0. 46 MPG & a blast to drive.
2004 Beetle tdi 484,000 miles averaging 550+ miles per tank. The only time I know for sure the intake manifold was cleaned was around 100,000 miles.
The only service other than regular maintenance was spark plug harness replacement and a crank shaft that was showing signs of wear during the 400K timing belt change. New clutch at 325k. My daughter learned how to drive in this car too!
Awesome story, impressive numbers!
I have a 3.0 TDI and I'm trying to do a tune up and can't seem to find the spark plugs or harness? What other maintenence have you had to do to get 400k any pulleys etc.?
Nothing crazy really, just filters.
Why your tdi has spark plugs?
Pretty sure they meant Glow Plugs 😉
All the pollution control crap on any diesel engine will eventually kill the engines.
That’s so true!
I've gone 900 miles on a tank, love my TDI

@@thedolphinDog No problem, I'm not a fan of any newer engine, whether that be a diesel or gas. They are way to complicated and have way to many things that can go wrong with them. The main reason why the ALH gets such good mileage and runs so efficiently is because of it's simplicity and lack of emissions systems. That's what makes it a good engine and why it out preforms all of the others.
I had the same issue years ago I changed to Amsoil series 3000 never had a clogged issue again.

EGR robs engine performance.
great vid thanks a lot for sharing , i am having problems with a 2006 jetta tdi , when i am in DRIVE OR REVERSE , the car kicks very bad seams like the car will brake in half LOL , someone in the internet has the same problem different car and this guy suggest change the TPS but i think this cars has the TPS attached to the throttle body !! any toughs or suggestion ?? the car has no check engine light however , i am thinking that maybe the transmission is going bad !! don't know !! thanks a lot a new subscriber !!!
Sounds like a transmission problem to me but wouldn’t hurt to check that EGR/throttle body for carbon buildup.
I had a Passat with that AVH Diesel engine on a run used to do 65mpg
Yeah these ALH engines are freaking beasts. Dam 65 mpg is insane 😱
Just got a 2005 Golf TDI. Everything is so brittle.. I was working in that area on some wiring I found the plastic harness had started wearing into so much so that one of the wires had exposed copper. I broke the nipple on the coolant expansion tank and did not even know it :( As for the EGR and Intake manifold.. I am thinking this may be one of the things I need to do! EDIT: My cars at about 270,000 miles!

That’s s great idea, too bad I sold mine. Maybe in the future
@@VikingsGarage going to look at one this weekend. These cars are amazing creatures and one day, hopefully not too soon, we won’t be able to find them anymore
Absolutely right my friend, I hope you find a good one as they are very good cars. 👍🏻
Oven cleaning the vnt turbo is also a good idea as the vanes get sticky and it drops the performance... Once it's clean, it will spool up like new
Very true, but do you really want to stick a dirty turbo in your oven.
Which I’m sure would cause gases once it burns that crap. 🤷🏼♂️
@@VikingsGarage he meant sticking a tube down the egr hole on the hot side of the turbo. And moving the actuator every 10mins to free it up.
Hi great video. I've just stripped and cleaned my Golf TDI EGR valve and throttle flap. It was in a terrible state 😮😮 and took hours of scraping and oven gel to clean. I do have a question. Its a 2007 1.9 TDI 105 BXE engine and I cant see if it has a DPF. So do you know if it has one or a Catalytic converter or something else I need to clean. - thank you
I’m not entirely sure Sir, I know a lot about 2004 and older 🤷🏼♂️
Good job on getting that crap out, it’s always a struggle.
From what I was able to find, none of the 1.9s ever had DPF mounted to them. I have the 1.9 BKE and many sources said I have a DPF when i actually don't
@@JohnDoe-ij2zi absolutly right. One wonders what I was going to charged for by taking it for a professional DPF cleaning? Would they have simply charged me and because if my lack of knowledge or come clean? Any way the EGR valve clean fixed most of the issues. But I still failed as the engine refused to come up to full operating temp. A faulty thermostat caused the emissions to exceed the limit. Now all repaired I'm getting great MPG again and the engine runs great too. I put a tank of premium diesel through the engine every third fill up. It certainly runs better over all 😃😃
thanks for your kind reply. 100K miles to clean is doable. would it need a shorter time interval if living in the desert environ?
I don’t think so.
Hi thanks bro. Would that make it go into limp mode? I have a 2014 golf wagon 2.0
I did not know that the intake manifolds filled with soot. So this is very useful. Which engine is this? The engine code is on the top of the timing belt cover. This said, I suppose I can find that on the Wikipedia page.
ALH
DUH! That seems much easier than burning method
my polo 1.9 tdi doesn' start but only starts when the intake pipes are removed
Delete that egr and run the cab vent hose into a catch can and back into the intake, or run a hose to the very back of the car and plug the intake hole.
Appreciate your suggestion, but I no longer own the car. 🤷🏼♂️
I dig the tool please help
Hello brother i have volvo s40 2008 i changed new catalyseur and turbo but my car dont have power the mechanic tell me is for egr valvula need the changed possible respond me help thanks😢🙏❤
Thank you. I have a 2012 Jetta tdi. Has a major league period we checked the O-rings on the hoses. They are okay and replaced. The mechanic is saying it's a leak directly from the turbo exhaust. Can you give some insight on that?
I don’t know 🤷🏼♂️
have you thought of converting your TDI to run on CNG? i just bought a 2015 TDI 45K miles but am not ready to dive into CNG conversion without losing the 4 years warranty on the smog certificate.
I would possibly try that but I ended up selling it. I do miss it.
How has it got clogged up like this?. Can you avoid it happening?.
Purple power and 5 gallon bucket let it soak for about 5 hours pull it out and it will be like brand new
That’s an awesome tip, if I ever own another tdi I will give it a try. Thank you for sharing!
Very good videoo
Thank you Sir.
@@VikingsGarage i also have same car also a tdi good cars.. good on insurance too as im 17
Most definitely.
in my 1997 passat tdi 5 speed i could go over 900 miles to the tank.. and i was in no way at all being easy on it
Isn’t that crazy!! 😱
I believe it, I hear about those Passats.
Wow. I just bought a 2014 tdi jetta, I was excited to see 40mpg.. eventually it'll need DPF, and EGR attention. But I just got the cable from Ross tech, and plugged it into the vcds... my measured and calculated soot values were like 13 grams and 3 grams. But when it finally starts limping, or giving me shit about it, I plan on a full delete, and having a tune done for it. No lights, better power and mpg, no more DPF bs.. lol
And hats off to the man with the half million miles on the bug, that's really cool to hear.

I use archoil diesel fuel system cleaner and I've never had any issues with mine. I run it every tank just for good measure. I have a 2017 Ram Ecodiesel and it's been trouble free.
Hi I have a problem with my turbo
I have seat 1999 1.9tdi cordoba, it has a vw motor. Should I use additive. And what additive? It has almost 400000km =250000miles. Is there something to notice. Or just put in the tank?
Gas tank additives help but at the end of the day you still got to clean out that EGR valve and intake manifold.
Do you have a video on how to remove those parts to be cleaned?
I do not, I no longer own the car. 🤷🏼♂️
I have a question first I own a beetle bug and it’s a 1999 TDI Turbo diesal injection and I start it it dies, I can turn it over then dies and my timing belt is new so it’s not that. Do you or have you heard of this problem? I’ve been without my car for 8 months please help me.. going crazy please help
Diagnosing a car this way is impossible I hope you can understand that. I would love to help 🤷🏼♂️
My passat has thrown a traction control light up every time I start it. It runs like it wants to die and when accelerating feels like it's a knocking machine but once light is off it runs smooth could egr be apart of my problem?
Honestly Sir , I’m not really sure.
But when they clog up bad, it makes for really hard starts. 🤷🏼♂️
I would delete the egr since the egr causes the build up
Absolutely!! 👍🏻
I wonder what my 2015 B8 Passat TDi with 147K miles on the clock will look like?
I know right
Oven cleaner eh? I'll have to give that a go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey
Good work. What do you think about EGR Delete?
Thank you, I’m all about it unfortunately in my state that would cause it to fail inspection. Otherwise I would totally do it. 👍🏻
@@VikingsGarage same story all around the world but every other year, you may put the egra back again? Maybe? Depends on how long you wanna keep the car. What do you think about deleting the egr may give any damage to engine?
I’m pretty sure that actually it won’t cause engine damage , only a little more pollution.
I won’t do it, as I’m currently thinking of selling it and getting a crazier project for the channel. 🤔
@@VikingsGarage :) Polution?!! who cares :)
will keep watching you and the channel. Keep up
Thank you so much 🙏🏻. I do truly appreciate the support.
Is that the 2003 ALH engine (or previous MK4 year)??
ALH
how much you charge to clean up my intake manifold and my car egr valve and the turtle body ?
I don’t usually do this kind of work on the side, you should expect to pay about 4 hours labor at a shop + gaskets.
Hi there , I’ve got a vw golf gt tdi and got rough idle and loads of black smoke , no faults reading in diagnostic, what can I do ? And what do you think is the problem? , thx
Probably the same buildup showed in this video. Check your EGR valve, probably clogged.
Thank you
How to clean the engine with additives to prevent this from happening?
You can’t prevent it unless you eliminate the EGR.
Question.. how did you clean your EGR valve? Did you use the oven cleaner as well?
Mostly with a rag and a brush. It’s tedious process but works. 👍🏻
Thank you very much.
Your welcome, I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel. Good luck Sir.
Use the exact same one he did though: "Easy-Off Fume Free", the blue can. That one doesn't contain any lye (NaOH) like the EO Heavy Duty or really any other oven cleaner out there. Lye will eat the aluminum and other parts too.
Also, make sure to actually remove the components to clean them. Just spraying it in there could result in: (1) a chunk of carbon going into the cylinder, breaking the engine, (2) oven cleaner getting into the cylinders which has reports of killing these engines.
Very good info, always clean it in a bench outside the car. 👍🏻
Newly TDI owner, but how do you know one needs to be cleaned out? Symptoms?
Hard start, underpowered
Did the engine throw up any codes, how did you know to check the egr?
No codes, that’s something that should be checked once a year .
hi all cars with egr throtal body mass air intercoller, turbo have this broblem its a real uuuuuur
Did you hav power loss or did it throw it into Limp mode from time to time ?
Just a little power loss, if felt quicker after cleaning it. 😁

I do not.
I have a 2006 BRM Jetta with almost 200,000 miles. what are the symptoms? My air filter is getting super dirty super fast is that one of the symptoms?
That’s not a symptom, it’s lack of power/sluggish. No pick up at all. It’s easy to check, just remove the hose to the egr and look in there. Good luck.
Could be a bad injector... running rich.
Rough idling, luck of acceleration power, staling when idling at stop lights...jerkky rpm
@@InMoroccoholidays could be bad injectors, dirty fuel filters or bad glow plugs
3:44 You're a criminal doing it for terral...
Could this have been prevented if the car had a remap and the EGR deleted
Totally!
Do you have a suggestion for remap? I'd like to try this, but I'm just getting started with these, don't want to waste any more time than necessary :)
I have been told that fixing an OIL CATCH CAN will deter this carbon build up throughout the motor and associated plumbing peeesez.

In the pursuit of higher fuel mileage but more importantly, dependability, I’ve learned that, Rawtek makes a pipe to replace your DPF filter and catalytic converter (Off-road use only Of course) And you need to purchase a Tune-zilla tune kit that eliminates all that electronic gizmos so you’re not dealing with check engine lights. The pipe looks like high-quality and well manufactured but it’s $1100!!!. Bad enough the tune is $750. I’m seriously thinking about gutting my factory exhaust and running that with the tune-Zilla tuning. I’m not a performance junkie, and I’m not even sure it would make a tremendous MPG improvement. My main goal would be to eliminate all that extra emissions crap that keeps giving me problems (and exspensive ones) like plugged cat, plugged DPF, failing O2 Sensors… fortunately, I do live in a place that does not have annual inspections.
Any thoughts?
Ive got a passat 1.9tdi would a clogged egr or intake manifold make it smoke alot?
Absolutely! The engine is being suffocated.
@@VikingsGarage Okay ill check it out thanks :D would it be better to just block off the egr after i clean the intake manifold and egr?
You can always by pass it. YES
yea..dont use oven cleaner.
how many miles should i look into this air intake manifold?
Honestly I would say every 100,000 miles. 👍🏻
Spray it all with brake cleaner lol
If you have the EGR still connected, you're gonna get this crud. Bin the EGR.. You're also gonna get crap mileage compared to an EGR delete version - go figure.. When I reconnect the EGR for "The Test", my economy goes to hell & I know it's also murdering the engine. They are a rubbish idea, like most "green" theories. "Stop Start" is another similar "Green" disaster - you are doing countless hot stops that bake on varnished oil - and again, it murders the engine..
You’re not wrong!! 🤔
I have a problem in my seat Toledo water under the mat in the passenger side, any recommendations?
1st thing to check is your air conditioner drain(know for clogging)
2nd if you have a sunroof, make sure the drains are clean and free of debris. I hope this info was helpful.
@@VikingsGarage no sunroof, I think air condition is okay, where to check for clogging, I think it’s from the cabin air filter bcoz I have seen in some forums it’s a common problem in all VW and Audi .
Look for a rubber tube that should be poking out from the floor. Under-the vehicle. Blow air into it.
750 you really gotta cram every last ounce of fuel in the tank
I will do it, I will also probably remove all extra weight 🤣
Turns out the best I ever was able to get was 661miles driving it ever so gently.
Why is it so bad? My 2.8 Duramax (Colorado) engine intake was barely caked at all at 250,000kms without ever having been cleaned...
🤷🏼♂️
I have the same engine. I use cetane booster to make the fuel burn more complete.
I had to change the timing belt it was so worn it wouldn't turn the engine. I have 241000kms on my 2.8 duramax
@@leadnsteel1428 yeah I have noticed it's a bit peppier with a cetane booster. Might start using it more often. I didn't change my timing belt for the first time until 250,000 kms/ 7years and it was still fine. No cracking and the teeth were in excellent condition. I think the conditions the timing belt gets exposed to are a major factor when considering it's life span. I believe I could have easily done another 100,000kms without any issue and my diesel mechanic agreed.
@@Trenislife hmm maybe it's just my battery then. It was really hard starting. I'll have to test it
@@leadnsteel1428 doesn't sound like something a failing timing belt would cause.
You dumped all that liquid and cleaner into the driveway which leads to a storm drain? Much better to collect the water and put into the toilet so it will be treated at a sewage treatment plant (assuming you are not on septic).
How many kms does it take to get that much build up? Could 80,000km do that?
Just about, that’s 100,000 km worth
I run Archoil diesel fuel system cleaner. I checked my egr the other day and it was pretty clean.
I have a 2017 Ram ecodiesel.
i have an mk5 1.9 tdi and its geting big consume 8 l /100km my mechanic say its egr valve ? does egr effect on consumation
Egr function is super key on engine performance. Could very much be it.
@@VikingsGarage and he stops in 140 kmh dosent go more 5 gear 2900 rpm
Yeah make sure it’s working or even clogged.
@@alb.alboz2083 I assume you got the 77kw / 105hp 1.9 tdi...limp mode restricts this very engine to 140kmh and nearly 3000rpm, you can also feel that the gas pedal stiffens. Usually switching the engine off and restarting it resets this limitation. 8l is way too much and could be EGR related but the other issue that often causes limp mode, esp when you drive quite fast or accelerate all of a sudden (or break and then go all out on the throttle) is the turbo, the variable turbine geometry might be worth checking at the same time. Over time, the moving fins clog up due to carbon build up inside and then they don t move freely enough to adjust in time, once the electronics detect that, it ll activate limp mode.
Edit: they typical error code for what I just described is P0234 -overboost condition (can be the opposite as well, then you d have a leak somewhere) on the VCDS. Sadly this very error code is very general and the EGR can t be excluded. So given that cleaning the EGR first is much easier, I d do that first. Then you can also have the VTG actuation checked if it moves rather freely coz getting the turbo out to have the VTG checked properly is a much bigger task.
Very useful info, thank you for sharing.
What was your gas mileage after?
That’s an awesome question . I’m actually in the process of doing a video showcasing that. But spoiler alert it’s in the 50’s. Thank you for Subscribing, I appreciate that. Video will be up next week.
Ye EGR delete asap ;) did it to my car as soon as i could..
I hear it wakes it up. Must do mod.
@@VikingsGarage it should provide more air for the engine intead of the exhaust gases and prevent intakes from cloging up like this...
Also mine is just ECU disabled it should just open every 50k miles or so...
Friend in his older car just metal blocked it and disconnected.. it does wonders just this small thing
Agreed, thank you for sharing and watching. I appreciate the support.
Let s not forget to mention that you better don t get caught doing that, in most European countries and the US, this is illegal with some countries having hefty fines for that. Then the engine and even more so the exhaust system does get hotter coz the "positive" side effect of getting more fresh air into the engine inevitably leads to higher temps and the oil gets dirtier much faster. Not worth the downsides in my book.
Very true.
Can you block the egr
Offcourse.
I did 662 mixed driving . Will boogers prevent it from running
Eventually, depends how bad it’s clogged.
@@VikingsGarage new to diesel but my cjaa went to limp mode, died and wouldn't restart. Vcds showed 3 glow plugs bad and low fuel pressure. I replaced the Glow plug and module and eventually got it to start. It runs all of 30 seconds or so and dies. Will restart and repeat. When I changed my glow plugs I noticed a almost sand type of residue. Also in the oil
I’m not entirely sure what is going on there.
This is the reason you must block your egr
👍🏻
If I ever land in one of such engines, I will substitute it into and vintage Toyota body kit

why? All the sh1t gets caked up on your valves then😂
That’s no one drives any more diesel cars. Last 10 years almost every one drives on petrol, CNG, TNG, hybrid or el cars. No problem wit EGR, DPF, or similar common problems which you have with diesel cars. Personality I drive 5 years old Toyota CHR hybrid, and after 120.000 km it’s in mint shape. Petrol fuel consumption it’s 3,9L/100km. Not problem with anything. Last time with my mechanic he check hybrid battery in car, it’s 97% health. 👏🏻
Very wrong statement all across the board.
Most of cars in Europe or Middle East are diesel powered.
“Hybrid or el cars” not even sure what your implying there, although you seem to contradict yourself in the following statement. Either way, Thank you for watching!!
@@VikingsGarage Diesel cars??? No one even produces cars with that engine any more. What a ignorance.
😂
@@VikingsGarage 😘
What is up with that blue smoke.
What about it?
@@VikingsGarage I am asking you what is wrong with your engine. Either it drinks oil or the injectors are bad. I thought you knew the problem in your car. I just wanted to know.
Sold it almost 3 years ago, burned a small amount of oil. 😎
@@VikingsGarage thanks for the anwser.
Anytime!
does a diesel even have glowplugs?
It sure does. Similar concept to spark plugs but not really. Lol
Yes they do of course
Put that shit in a bag and leave it for at least 12 hours FFS!!
U would never ever get that on a petrol engine. Why are people buying crap DIESEL CARS.
Because they are great, that’s why!! 😁
Couldn't have found a more corrosive spray to use. Oven cleaner is for ovens not aluminum car parts!!
