Un video foarte ajutător aș putea spune! Am un văr care are tot opel, e și mecanic dar nu prea se pricepe, o să-l învăț eu cum se face! Mulțumesc mult pentru acest tutorial! Ești un zeu pe pământ! Dumnezeu să te binecuvinteze! 🙏
Nice bro! I would buy an Opel just to do this things from this video. You are a very shine minded guy. Now i have a Polo 1.2TDI on fuel and i am going right now to clean my EGR valve. Thumbs up bro! I hope we will meet some day.
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 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
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.
Very helpful video. Excellent picture quality makes is easy to see what you are doing. (Too bad about the cheesy music...) But, did it get rid of the "service engine" light?
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 😅
@@slaweksawicki I have replaced the oxygen sensor , i have clean the EGR , i have clean the throttle , i have clean the earth cables underneath the battery ,and finally i have taken out the fuel pump and cleaned it with air pressure .
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.
@stuartplume9597 Did you also changed the metal gaskets for the egr?, it is possible to leak some exhaust gases and if you are stationary they can enter the cabin
I heard that s a common method, the cooler is more sensitive than the valve itself. And on newer vehicles like yours is best to get it to a specialized mechanic to do it
My car have a low rev I tried all I could then I sold it ..cuz it won’t rev up and the car with spammer lights keep flashing and the check engine light keep flashing too.. I got tired and scared of loosing the car engine totally so I sold it …good by to Diesel engines
Only God knows when I will need this tutorial but thanks to you, I will know how to clean an EGR Valve! God bless you, son!
Thank you !!!🤣
Da ma Loredana :)))

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

Really helpful! Thank you for recording this
You're welcome, glad that it helped you!
¡Hey hermano! El mejor coche del mundo es el Opel. Tuve muchos opels y a todos se les cayó el motor. ¡Dios ayuda!
Si hermano, todos los opels son tanques para morir que los pequeños tienen motores de aviones
Very helpful video. Excellent picture quality makes is easy to see what you are doing. (Too bad about the cheesy music...) But, did it get rid of the "service engine" light?
yes, it disappeared
Nice video,hello from Greece-Macedonia.
Can i clean it with WD40? Thanks.
Hello, sir, wd40 is a lubricant, I don't think that it will clean it that good. Try with a degreaser, even a kitchen degreaser should do the trick
@@tibanu23 Thank you!

Thats where my problem was.
I couldnt even push it. When I did it would get jammed fully open.

Glad the video was helpful!
@tibanu23 any idea which way the gaskets should face? I've always put the ribbed part facing the egr valve. My friend reckons thats wrong
@@Outdoorswithnigel i ve put them with that part towards the intake manifold, either way, there is no wrong side. it should work both ways
What was the symptom and you needed to clean the EGR Valve ?
The engine was interrupting and i wasn't running smooth, and it was smoking a lot
@@tibanu23 οκ thanks ! I ask because my Opel Astra H , it looses power momentarily as i drive .
@@ΑγγελοςΤρικωμιτης Mine Astra J behaves very similar - Did You solve Your problem? When I drive it loses power or even sometimes when is getting hot
@@slaweksawicki I have replaced the oxygen sensor , i have clean the EGR , i have clean the throttle , i have clean the earth cables underneath the battery ,and finally i have taken out the fuel pump and cleaned it with air pressure .
My car is petrol and LPG. 2009,1400cc.
Any chance it doesn't have that valve?
I say this because I don't see her anywhere.
the majority of the cars have an EGR valve, but usually the petrol ones do not get clogged
@@tibanu23 Ok thank you.
@@69STARBREAKER you re welcome
Hello! Do you know if its possible to drop it in diesel to soften up the ”dirt”?
yes, it s a common method, but gasoline works better
Use kerosene
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.
I will try, yes, in the near future to make a video on that topic, i will try to cover the whole system including the particulate filter.
how does that ribbed hose change, which goes in front of the EGR valve?
it has one clip on the coolant tank and one on the radiator, you just remove those 2 clips and then pull it out
Does it work for the VW Passat too?
yes, of course
Changed my EGR, now I get a smell of fuel in the cab on start up, any ideas what might be causing this?
@stuartplume9597 Did you also changed the metal gaskets for the egr?, it is possible to leak some exhaust gases and if you are stationary they can enter the cabin
@@tibanu23 I did but I’m wondering if they might be the wrong way round. Do you know which way they should be or doesn’t that matter?
Ciao! Quanti cavalli aggiungo alla mia auto se cambio la valvola egr? Ho una vw tiguan e voglio farne un aeroplano
Hola amigo, uno vw tiguan es very mui muchacha car, como egr on that car is really good !!! Thank you for your support !
After clean Egr engine check light on. What is problem?
You should try and drive the car a bit, it should dissapear, if not, cleat it with an obd scanner and pray that it never comes back :)
1.4 oil mator ?
1.7 liter diesel
I before used on mercedes c220 egr cleaner and contact cleaner mixing them once contact cleaner then egr cleaner 5 times if need more and job done
Nice, i will keep in mind for future videos
it’s a Opel astra H 2007 ? or what ?
Thanks
yes, it is
I think that exist better product for cleaning than break cleaner but if work for you, great!
Yes, there are some products that are better but i couldn't get my hands on them in time😁
I have problem with egr cooler on my Opel Astra K 2017 diesel, I will try to clean it with ultrasonic devices
I heard that s a common method, the cooler is more sensitive than the valve itself. And on newer vehicles like yours is best to get it to a specialized mechanic to do it
How often should that be cleaned?
it depends on you engine, i clean mine once a year, but i do a lot of city driving
Is this still a valid tutorial when talking about a Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi "The ladybug"?
yes, indeed , if you clear the egr on the lady bug it will transform in a rocketship

My car have a low rev I tried all I could then I sold it ..cuz it won’t rev up and the car with spammer lights keep flashing and the check engine light keep flashing too.. I got tired and scared of loosing the car engine totally so I sold it …good by to Diesel engines
Sorry to hear, diesel engines are very hard to maintain, they can break at any point.
OK👍👍
Я его разбираю (расухариваю) и мою всё внутри
Yeah... don't mind spilling brake cleaner and all that sh!t straight on ground...
yea.. sorry about that , i wasn t thinking about it at that time
