thanks Neil at italia autos.
I have just bought an Alfa and had to have the egr fixed. I had no idea what it was (I am a bit of a ignorant wet girlie!) You really helped me understand what it's all about. As it always helps to get to know and understand my lovely car better. Thankyou
no worries nice have you on board.
Great video - I've got a Motor Control System Failure warning on my dash so I've bought an OBD lead and installed Multiscan ECU on my laptop and read the error and it's for the EGR Valve. I'm glad it's an easy fix, has saved me extra expense at the garage as I can do this really easily having now seen your demo. Thank you! :)
Excellent video Neil. Exactly the information I was looking for, very well explained and edited.
Great video! Brilliantly detailed description and explanation of what to do and how. Thanks for posting this.
Very simply and clearly explained
I'd like to “request” a video on dual mass flywheel and clutch removal/installation on a 2.4 jtdm 159 😁
Hi Neil, firstly thank you very much indeed for all. Plse consider doing a clip on g/box removal for the V6 24v, clutch replacement. Thank you and God bless.
Maybe there will be more info on that in the next episode 🤣🤣👍👍
Egr clogs inlet cause flaps to break off.
Mine has been blanked 5 years ago when new inlet manifold was fitted 1.9 jtdm, got camera in to check and all shiney like new in there even criss cross hone marks showing where flaps sit.
Clean.
Quick question - what's the part on the left of the EGR called? I have *massive oil leak* all over it, but I can't find it in the OEM Alfa catalog. You can see it exposed on 2:00 and onwards while you were unscrewing the EGR valve. It looks like a CV joint, but can't put my finger on it. Thank you in advance. Just so you know - your channel helped me A LOT, keep doing this.
I would like to point out that EGR having issues is also caused by DPF blocks causing backflow to the engine with all its gubbings! And EGR are also found on some high power petrol engine same as swirl valves.
Great video Neil. Have you done a video on how to remove the manifold from the 1.9 ready for a swirl flap delete?
yes ive done two.
Sir, these Videos are getting better all the time.
Picked up some good tips here, Thank You!
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching.
Very useful, thank you!
Glad to hear that!
Thanks for this iv been struggling forever with my Astra 1.9cdti the engines practically identical to the alfa what is the pipe that connects to the egr valve at the bottom called?
What are the benefits of fitting a blanking plate to the egr? I've seen lots of people "modding" their alfa who recommend closing it off? I apologise, I'm just about to buy my first alfa (2007 147 1.9 JTD) so you'll be getting lots of likes and questions lol
It just stops the flow of exhaust gasses or restricts them depending on the type of blanking plate fitted.
@@ItaliaAutos So no benefits?
Benefits consists in the fact that engine runs only on pure air rather than reused gases that contain carbon and restrict the intake manifold that screws up the map sensor ,limits the air directed to turbo and this makes poor mpg and cloged dpf.
Whats better? A restrictor plate or a blanking plate?
No EGR + no DPF = no problems at all!
My mechanic blocked and closed egr , because on my 159 car didnt driving smoothly and he was "recoil"
Yes but it will not pass MOT if they figure this out.
Superb mate thanks !
No problem 👍
No EGR, no problem. :-D
Hello, I'll go a bit off topic to this video, but you seem to know your way around Alfa Romeos and I have one problem I can't shake. I have a 147 which has some sort of bodged wing installation. From what I can tell, it's not glued. Can water be actually entering the sill and the footwell due to that or is the glue just a way to keep the panel in place, besides the screws? No water coming in when raining, just when power washing the car.
In the video of the worst repaired vehicle you have ( The white ALFA GT - at 1:01 minute) you had taken a great picture with the wing off and the sill was shut where the wing bolts to it therefore water obviously can't get in there. Just wondering if the 147 is the same.
hi yes the 147 is pretty much the same under there. mud can sit behind the wing and that can make it rust.
@@ItaliaAutos I have been cleaning it regularly to keep it mud free while I'm sourcing a new wing in my color. Azzurro Gabbiano is a hard color to find in my country.
But besides that, I take water can't be entering from there? It's entering the sill from somewhere as it soaks the bottom of my mats. Any other common spots to check? Sill plug is still there and sealed with some silicone as well as the plugs near the hinges.
Thanks a bunch, I haven't commented yet but have been keeping up with your channel, it's great to see an Alfa Romeo guru in action.
@@hotwheels1997 just paint it. 147s and 156s are becoming rare so finding panels in a rare colour are hard to find now. it will cost you more but it will look better in the end.
Italia Autos it’s dented at one too many places which is why I want to change it. Might get a different color and repaint it, whichever is local.
About the water ingress, do you reckon it couldn’t be from the improperly glued wing?
@@hotwheels1997 doubt it. prob a blocked water drain near the wiper linkage
Is it possible to clean turbine vanes thought that egr pipe/cooler? Mr Muscle
Top guide
So if I'm planning a remap should I blank the egr or not?
Would you fit a inlet to vectra or just alfas
Owen Thomas same engine pretty much. 👍
@@ItaliaAutos so you would take on the job
Owen Thomas yes I would 👍
Do you know if we can block this f...valve with a complete seal without remaping ecu?. Thank you
No you will get an error code
Blank it and delete it.
Map car job done
My mechanic argues that blocking the EGR is to prefer to instaling a new one. My car has an EGR issue and I tend to purchase a new EGR, but Iam not sure any more. What is your idea about it?
Better off just making it work like from The factory.
Great video! Brilliantly detailed description and explanation of what to do and how. Thanks for posting this.
