Great video! Thanks for putting this together. 2015 CD here, deleted and running Oakes tunes. I want to get rid of the egr crap and clean my intake, this helps a lot. I do have one question, what is the "solenoid" you are removing at 27:00 minutes?
@@OverHereAndOverThere Audis fancy name for it is (Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Control Solenoid. Part# 1K0906283A). And happy to hear this video is of help!!
Great Videos as always Mark, where did you see that Malone tune does delete vacuum solenoid valve's which operates EGR and coolant bypass valve. In the add-ons descriptions only says "Remove DPF, Adblue,.EGR, and/or Intake Swirl Flap" on their website. I guess what i'm trueing to ask are you sure those vacuum lines are not needed any more for coolant bypass valve specifically? How was your experience with the kit and using car after install! Any issues ! Thank you for the help!
@@MilanDisljenkovic that is exactly what you need selected as you mentioned. Vacuum lines that are plugged had to do with the EGR cooler itself. Since that got removed, any wire harness to it doesn't send a signal to the EGR any more which means no CEL. Though there is still vacuum on the lines that are left, it's really not being used anymore And no issues at all
@@markb6s4 Thank you for the feedback Mark. Appreciate that. Was not sure how this will affect that coolant bypass valve since that is vacuum operated.
Wow what a great video! Just afraid of doing all that work man. I have a high pitch noise on the EGR actuator valve. If I remove the little vacuum line from it, the noise goes away.. any harm driving it that way? What happens if I just disconnect that vacuum hose?
Yes, and because the EGR is exhaust gas recirculation. So what's happening is the exhaust is being sent back into the pipe. And exhaust is HOT air. If the lines are plugged, removed, etc. The actuators inside the EGR cooler won't be functioning. So the cooling won't be happening and you'll be sending hot exhaust straight back into the manifold. Then which will defeat the purpose of the clean air going through the intercoolers. You may be at risk of melting some stuff in the long run. The intake pipe and manifold are plastic. Another solution is if you get the car tuned with the EGR stuff all coded out. And I did this for about 30,000 miles til I finally removed the EGR cooler. With that coded out I didn't get any CEL. So it shuts off the EGR valve so that no exhaust is being recerculated. And that why in the video part when it was time to clean I didn't have a lot of carbon build up. Hope this is information is of help 😊
@@markb6s4Thanks! Vacuum line is still connected, just has a high pitch noise coming from that EGR actuator valve. Car drives fine, just not sure if its actually doing the job or what…
@@chelo9724 The cheapest route is to get it tuned with the deletes coded in. Once it's coded the EGR just becomes paper wait until it's removed. And I had it as paper weight for 30,000 miles
Awesome video, the install didn’t look too bad just looking at my car but this lays it out in amazing detail.
Happy to hear this is of help!
nice videos !
Thank you
