Vivaro / Trafic 1.6 EGR valve seized in manifold. You can get it out 💪

These 1.6 Biturbo EGR valves can seize in the inlet manifold.
This method works for me to remove them with very little dismantling.
2016 1.6 Biturbo EGR 1.
Common fault code P0488

I've heard of people having to remove or replace the inlet manifold because they're so seized in there. 😧

With out the slide hammer it’s rather tricky as the alloy body snaps off after a while. Replacing the inlet manifold now. As it’s snapped off and seized in.

@@AndrewStephens-c1d yes I've heard of lots having to replace intake manifold as well. How much is a manifold?

£175 with a £25 gasket. A lot cheaper then they used to be at nearing £700 two years ago.

Hi ya great video. I’m getting like a flat spot around 2500/3000rpm could this be something to do with this even tho I’ve had it mapped out ? Tia Dave

It might be. A lot of people wont take this on now it's been mapped. So many variables now and your second guessing what the map has done.

What fault code did you have for this? Got a 1.6 biturbo vivaro with exhaust pressure sensor and exhaust gas recirculation throttle control circuit faults. Am thinking the pressure sensor is at failure ?

@Automotive_Solutions Жыл бұрын

Code was P0488 . There may be other codes relating to the front egr valve as well though.

My question is.. If the EGR valv needs constant cleaning and replacing why the bloomin heck have they made is so blooming hard to remove! 😳

Love the video BTW. Thanks for sharing. If your replacing the egr valve is there any use in using anti seize spray on it? Help get it in stuck?

@Automotive_Solutions 2 жыл бұрын

Can't remember the mileage of the one in the video but the vehicle has now covered around 170k and only had one egr. Pretty normal for a lot of diesels. I didn't add any anti seize but can't see it doing any harm. This is not the best engine for access to many components. 👍😁

I came across your video because the trafic i'm preparing for sale just got an error code on the dash that the start/stop isn't functioning. After scanning the codes it gave a P0488 which indicates this very EGR valve is stuck. Since i'm selling the van i don't want to spend a shitload of money on a new EGR valve just to get rid of it. It has no CEL or nothing, just the start/stop error. Now, would i be able to get it freed by taking the plastic cover off, with the valve still in the intake manifold? (yea, i tried taking it out, it's properly stuck) I just want this thing to be error free so i can get it through inspection. (MOT) Whatever happens afterwards, well, thats the next guy's problem. 🤷‍♂😂 There isn't much info out there on dismantling one of those.

@Automotive_Solutions Жыл бұрын

Not sure. You might end up with some springs and cogs in pieces 😲. If your lucky you might be able to free it up a bit but your out on your own in this one. Be sure to update us if you sort it. Good luck 🤞😁

@BenDeSwert666 Жыл бұрын

@@Automotive_Solutions ha, thanks.. Yea, I'd much rather have a look inside before I start to take it apart, to prevent (as you said) it from exploding into a thousand pieces all over the engine bay, and ending up having to buy a new one after all, just because I don't know what I'm getting in to.. Ugh... Goddamn modern diesels with their emissions crap... Oh well, I'll bite the bullet, I guess.. Wish me luck.. 😂

@BenDeSwert666 Жыл бұрын

@@Automotive_Solutions well, I fixed it. But man, it was a bitch... The axle puller wasn't available anymore, so I had to improvise with how to mount my slider hammer to the valve.. Yea, it wasn't a pretty sight. I had to resort to my trusty drill to get the tension off.. And.. It came out in a gazillion pieces.. I did manage to get the cover off, and you might get the actual valve loose, but I don't think it's gonna last long. So, if you're in my situation and you need this valve replaced: good luck, you're gonna need it... And screw you, renault.. For this absolutely dogshit design.. Your engineers really must hate mechanics... But hey, because I did it myself, I saved around 800 euro in garage labor cost 👍🏻😂
