  • This Caddy came in low on power with the engine light on. We confirmed the code for EGR circuit fault and then tested the command of the EGR using our Snapon Verus. Proving what required replacement 100%.

    Vw quoted me over $2k to do this job. Parts alone over $800...$700 just for egr assembly.
    Had another quote for $1800 from European vehicle specialist... Still uses genuine vw parts... But think yas earn ya money on these. I've done over 200k on mine so I'm guessing it's reached its end of life. I normally do all my own servicing... Oil, all filters, brakes etc but on this job.... Screw that!
    Good video mate! Cheers from Perth.

    Thorough diagnosis . The customer must be in shock 😲 with the cost of that valve ! I remember when EGR's were a simple diaphragm controlled by a ported vacuum switch . OUCH 😳 !

    I have changed these coolers since 2009, and of all the hundreds of cars with P0403 or P046C code i can remember ONE car with a faulty wiring instead of faulty EGR/N18. That car had a loose wire in the connector that goes into the N18.

    I’ve had this code come on my Vw B7 passat 2013 rLine tdi . I’m in the uk 🇬🇧, now I have all power and I drive me car in 3rd and 4th gear to keep the revs up and I do periodically drive it like I stole it. Would I need to Jack up my car to listen to see if it’s making that noise and if it is what else could I look at

    Just a quick question to anyone
    Can this error cause a car to cut out? Say when slowing down when say…coming down to a low gear for example?

    Great video. I wonder how many times in a vehicle's life time would these need to be replaced? Seems a ridiculous expense to incur every few years. I have a Skoda Octavia with a CAYC engine on 349,000km. I only have it a few months and I don't know it's history. I reckon I might have this to look forward to in my near future!

    hi,
    Great Video many thanks , so the code p04030 is related to the motor only not to the circuit board

    Thank you for great video. I have 1.6 TDI CAYC Seat Toledo 2013 and i changed EGR recently. The original part was Wahler and i bought Pierburg that work only 8 months.
    Now I clean the original EGR and i need to know if any electronic damage can be and how to test if it is working before installing on the car.
    Can I have please details about the voltage and how to check if the EGR if is working?

    Hello!
    So what can i understand from this video is if the electric circuit is fully workig then i just should clean the valve not replace it straight way.
    I'm having a vw cc 2013 and i keep having the light in dash with the same code. I always delete the error and after few weeks comes back. What shoud I do?

    Great video. I'm having trouble with the same 1.6 engine but it's not putting up egr codes but maf range performance. The egr sounds like it's trying to work but repeatedly clicking. ??

    Awesome job and video very informative as always =). Question though do you think the actuator had failed due to carbon build up inside causing extra resistance on the motor itself? Or did the valve move freely and it had just failed? Cheers

    • @romanosautomotive
      @romanosautomotive  3 роки тому +1

      Personally I just think it failed because it failed. Nothing out of the ordinary with most electrical parts these days. No the valve was definitely moving freely. Pretty ugly set up!
