Just watched the video and cleaned the EGR valve on my Saab 9-3 (150bhp) 2005 model. Have to say this was so so simple to do and the video made it so . . . clear and easy to follow. Early days to see if it's totally cured the problem but I would have no hesitation in replacing it after watching just how easy it is. Thank You :o)

The two bolts with 13mm socket heads actually screw into the gasket first to hold it (pipe from EGR cooler), so no need to have 10 pairs of hands to hold the gasket in place. I have an Alfa GT 1.9jtd- same engine. I have done a partial EGR block off to greatly reduce smoke, no engine light as there is still some flow through.

Brillant video, thanks. Slight hint: if this is the common location where you film your videos running the sound track through a low pass filter cutting off above around 500Hz might reduce the motorway noise quite a bit. Demux with, say ProjectX (open src freeware) or any other video demuxer, filter Sound track with Audacity (oss freeware, too) and remux.

@RedlineRevs 7 жыл бұрын

Really glad this helped, thanks for taking the time to comment. If you ever do the job again you can purchase an inexpensive EGR reducing gasket which will only allow a small amount of exhaust gasses to be redirected to your inlet manifold, enough to not trip the emissions light but much less likely to gunk up again in future. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

I have been doing this on my Saab for years when EML light comes on. You then need to reset the fault code to clear the EML light. Additionally remove the sensor just before the EGR valve and clean it as that is what sets the EML on

Hi, I got my Vectra lost power. Error code shows intake air system leak. Gave to a local garrage and they changed new EGR valve. The problem came again while on road and broke down in middle of road as it cant climb steep roads. Can you advise me to fix it. Where can I take it to.

@compassdetectors 9 жыл бұрын

did mine yesterday. That thing was really dirty. Isn´t there any cleaning needed for the pipe between the turbo charger and the EGR? How about those liquid cleaners like Pro-Line AGR cleaner Diesel from LIQUI MOLY? Wouldn´t that be an alternative, faster and all the way through the intake manifold?

@RedlineRevs 9 жыл бұрын

compassdetectors Thanks for your comment. You can remove pipe from Turbo to EGR and spray it down with some intake/carb cleaner. I haven't tried Pro-line EGR. Incidentally I just cleaned my EGR valve agian this time used Wynns Air Intake / Carburetor cleaner and had same results, plus its in a cheaper and bigger can than the EGR-specific product. Best way to do intake manifold will be to remove it and and chemical or flame clean it. Will do a video when I get round to it myself.

@RedlineRevs 9 жыл бұрын

Stephen Harper Hey Stephen, it could be a number of things. If the EGR valve hasn't been cleaned recently it would be worth taking it apart and cleaning as shown in this video. Is the car going into limp mode? Could be a boost leak or maybe sticky vanes in the turbo? I've shown how to fix VNT turbos in this video, on VW 1.9tdi, but the principles are exactly the same: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5yffLhe2KyblGQ.html

Hi my vectral 2004 1.9 looses power past 2.8 (approx) revs garage said EPU EGR or air flow filter. New air flow thingy , no change. They said if its the EPU not worth doing ( EGR is 3 or 4 hundred. What would be a fair price if i asked them the take off the EGR and clean it? Do you have a garage where are you?

+djnashemc Hey, I'm in West London. Don't have a garage but could do the job. I would say it shouldn't cost any more than £40-60 at a good garage, but I've never gone to a garage to do this job so unsure what they would charge exactly.

Redline Revs what exactly does the egr do? please explain simply,thanks

@RedlineRevs 9 жыл бұрын

***** Hi Megan, EGR stands for 'Exhaust Gas Re-circulation' and it feeds the exhaust gasses back into the engine to lower the combustion temperature and reduce some harmful emissions. It can get very clogged up and affect the running of the car, requires regular cleaning. Some people remove the EGR completely.
