Thanks Jim. Orange engine light came on the dash of my 1.5 diesel Quashqai. Brought it to a main Nissan dealer who hooked it up to the diagnostics, said it was soot in the EGR and are looking for €370 to do the job. Nope, I'll do it myself. I'm a mechanic myself though out of the game for over a decade so needed a helpful vid like this as not to go in "bind" and start needlessly removing clutter out of the way that didn't need to be. 10/10, thanks. I'll buy a can of EGR cleaner and save myself €370! I'll also probably spare myself some first year apprentice damaging some other engine component as he "learns the ropes" at my expense!

Another happy customer. Thanks Jim.

Jim, i love your shed... It's so neat, everything in its proper place...

Jim what a great slow paced demonstration. I'll be checking mine out real soon.

I got a warning system message, so I need to check that small pressure exhaust pipe also need to clean my EGR Valve this weekend , but I need to check the fuse and power supply and then give it a good run , thanks Jim keep the video,s coming

Great video and tidy workshop. That's the way you should work with vehicles, slowly and methodically

Excellent video, for someone like me who doesn’t know anything about cars you made this very easy to follow. EML has now gone off and saved myself some money. Many thanks Jim.

Excellent without any annoying background music!!!

Nice 1 Jim, you've taught me and save me a headache of paying a big bill...If I see u out and about ,u having a beer on me...

Thank you nice video now I will clean my one watching your video

Cheers Jim. Job done in under an hour (2 x coffee and checking footy scores included!). Not as bad as your EGR but def needed a spruce up

All nissan qashqai dci owners should be using C4 oil not c3 as shown here, less issues using c4👍

video ben fatti sempre così ciao

Very clear video, enjoyed that thanks. I have a similar 2014 /113 k Qashqai diesel, without any issues, great car. Do I need to get the egr valve cleaned?

Cleaned my Lexus is220d egr can use carb cleaner works quite well and toothbrush.this is lot easier to remove then Lexus . dealer's won't even clean it they just replace.

Jim thank you so much for your videos! Life saver! Can I ask, do you know if a blocked/clogged EGR valve will cause juddering when the engine is under load - that's what I'm experiencing and I'm trying to diagose. My exhaust gas pressure pipe was blocked too, such a common fault. Thanks again

Ive used autosmart G101 gives fast new like results or even petrol but must be dry before refitting

Hi Jim just wondering ? are you aware that there is another EGR valve on that car as well its known as the low pressure EGR valve these things give their problem also , it controls the flow of gases through the cooler , there is a screen and butterfly that get chocked up , so I would be cleaning that one also , cleaning one valve is only half doing the job , just for your information so that you wont get caught out with another problem later , Keep up the good work

First of all, congratulate him on his channel and his good videos. and query is that I can not turn to remove the EGR valve of a Nissan Qashqai 1.5 110 CV, what can I do?

Jim I have a 2014 1.5 qashqai .the red engine light comes on and the power goes down and then goes away and then back again .any clue what it could be ?

How did you check if the valve is stuck or not? How did you check the resistance? How did you check if 12v are coming in the egr?

Great video butty. Sll the best from south wales.

Hi Jim, regarding your other video on this engine with the blocked pressure pipe, I've cleaned it out with brake cable etc and I'm sure some snapped off! Will it hurt the engine? How hard is it to take the pipe off to try retrieve the wire? Cheers

What is directly under the egr valve or what is it connected to that can cause smoke and heat, egr taken off and cleaned

I got an engine faillure orange on my board . can it be the same probleme . My engine was driving wel . just 94000 km . did you read with an obd 2 reader ??

Can this be done reusing the existing metal gasket?

Really helpful clear vidio

I’ve heard that you can use mr muscle oven cleaner which dissolves everything? Try next time 😀

Buna ce cauciuc ii pune_ti in spate la egr eu nu am acel cauciuc ce rol are va rog

puoi fare un video sul sensore di pressione grazie

What make is the cordless wrench.

Is that 1.5 or 1.6 diesel R9m engine?

Out of interest what was the mileage on the car?

A) There's absolutely no need to remove the motor from the egr to clean the valve. If you want to clean the valve stem, just remove the plastic cover (it slides out to expose the stem, and valve spring), then push down hard onto the valve to open it. You can then clean it with egr cleaner, a toothbrush, and some paper towels. I lubricate the valve stem with PTFE spray. B) I've no idea why your valve is pitted like that. I've removed and cleaned my egr valve every 6months for the past 3years and not had that.
