    Great video, cleaned mine out. Was good for a day then service light came back on. This part was replaced a year ago. Glow plugs changed. Switches between service and engine light. Starting to think it's faulty or wiring maybe... been frustrating for months now..

    • @tibanu23
      @tibanu23  8 місяців тому

      Yes, it can be, but also if it was not replace with a genuine part it could behave like that. Mine is a bit worn out as well, i clean it once 6 months

      @@tibanu23 I ended up replacing the EGR Valve, for one on eBay.. it cost 79.99 it worked for 5 months then stopped working again. Get the error EGR Stuck. I thought ah maybe it's time for a clean, removed it, didn't look that bad, cleaned it anyway. Back on. Still stays stuck, so I'm assuming rather than just getting clogged I've gone through 2 valve, one was a more expensive one starline branded I think still cheapish, the other a cheapo ebay one. Both stopped working. It must be the motor? Wiring? ECU? Voltage? No idea. The issue has come back and performance is reduced once again. Not sure what to do in this situation. I guess buy another valve. A better one. Which I think will die again and again :(

    Great Video.. Thks. The works manual say disconnect the -ve battery terminal. Is this to reset ECU or will car automatically learn new parameters?? Also, my EGR has a dirty split pipe under EGR with screws in it?? My next project… another dirty hole to clean

    • @tibanu23
      @tibanu23  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, if you disconnect the battery the ecu will do a soft reset, but if the car is running fine the check engine will go away. I will film more videos in the future regarding the egr and intake manifold cleanup.

    Cleaned mine 3 times. Was still jamming. Just seen this video now and not realised you need to actually take off the servo motor.
    Thats where my problem was.
    I couldnt even push it. When I did it would get jammed fully open.
    Sorted now just soaking it then I'll try again 😅

    Last year it cost me the EGR Valve and the sistem flashing 996£ it is crazy how costly is, did you do sistem flash before, if not can you make a video on sistem flash? The short runs are the killer of the EGR VALVE because the exhaust can't heat up enough to get burned off the diesel partials in the exhaust filter, so the particals block the valve, it is anoing, it got insaid a gas recycling sistem in pleased.
