Today we going to replace the EGR valve in this case the polo 1.2 TDI. But it would be the same on the 1.4/1.5 and 1.6 engines from the VAG group. Just be sure that you get the right EGR valve for your engine. They all look the same but are different!
But it almost the same if not the shame on the cars listed below.

Thanks guys. Saved me hours. A few tips: I did mine on a 6J model, perhaps yours was the previous model. Lower the subframe as far as it will go (about 40mm). Don't bother to disconnect the steering column. Disconnect drive shaft at engine end. After undoing 3 nuts at other end of suspension, pull out shaft. Make sure you pull brake disk well out, then you can lower the shaft to the ground (I only discovered this when re-assembling, would have given me much more space). Carefully remove vacuum actuator on new unit and the lower water pipe as you can put these back when the unit is bolted in. You may need to saw off one of the loose-fitting lugs on the new pipe to get it back in.

Great video mate but anyone watching debating to do this or pay someone else here a little bit of advice just do it it is really easy and straightforward a couple tips the video don't show you first thing take all the intake pipes off the turbo Inc air filter box if you don't have a 17mm crows foot for the feed pipe on the turbo remove X3 Allen bolts holding the actuator on top to give a little room to use a normal 17mm spanner you don't need to drop sub frame or disconnect the rack you don't have to remove the driveshaft either and park the car facing a post or something sturdy and just remove gearbox rear mount place the bolt back in the bracket on the gearbox and use a rachet strap off the post or sturdy object to rotate the engine as much as possible soon as the egr is free remove the coolant hoses and you can wiggle and jiggle the egr out between the driveshaft and subframe assembly is annoying the clips for the coolant hoses are a pain so when you refit egr get it up into position and then connect the hoses to the egr only and then bolt the egr back and then connect the hoses to the coolant line those clips in such a tight space is hell 🤣

Excellent video, they should make the engineers who design where these EGR valves go work on them for a week or two, perhaps they would put things in a better place so we can remove them when we need to.!!!

@MrMatoree 6 ай бұрын

after doing many repairs by my self on this type of a small tightly packed cars I figured out that the quickest way to work on things connected to the engine (gearbox, egr, timing belt etc.) is actually to use a hoist.. disconnect all the hoses, pipes and cables from the engine and lift it out and place it aside and work on it. much quicker!!

Tering, weer een voorbeeld van het inefficiënte concept van VAG motoren. Wat een gedoe om dat ding te vervangen! Andere fabrikanten hebben het toch wel beter voor elkaar wat betreft het sleutelen tbv onderhoud. Jullie inbreng is dus wel een hulp voor de VAG diy community!

Heb gelezen dat de Polo 6R ontwikkeld is voor 300k km, daar was de distributie ook op uitgelegd. Die is later naar 225k gezet en de EGR gaat bij vlot gebruik ook ca 300k mee. Intussen weten we dat behalve zuinig zijn en het blok er niet veel deugt aan het karretje. Maar dat verklaart wel waarom vervanging een bitch is het was namelijk niet de bedoeling. Dacht altijd dat Piech een kleinzoon van Porsche was, maar dit lijkt nergens op.

Sometimes i am curious how people take on certain jobs, i have replaced roughly 2 maybe 300 of these EGR coolers/valves and encountered that the thread of the EGT sensors have the habit of getting messed and making the 1.5 hour job a full day one 😂. Pro tip: just undo the sensor connectors and take the DPF out with the sensors attached or else you will have a good chance of having a very shitty day 🙃 But nice video and explained very well over all 👍

@MrMatoree 6 ай бұрын

great video guys! Im about to do it now.. just a tip from past expirience, unbolt the power steering from the subframe (4 bolts from undernith, 2 each side) way easier than disconnecting it from steering column.

That... My friends, is a pain in the ass.... Almost more efficient too take the hole engine out of the chassis.... If the car has gone opp too 200000km, consider take the engine out an change the clutch and flywheel, timing belt and water pump and the egr system. You then should have 150- 200000km without these common issues. Of course you would have too do the normal long life services. But thats only kontrolls and changeing filters and fluid.
