2.0HDi 2.0TDCi 2.0D EGR valve cleaning

EGR valve in 2.0HDi (Peugeot Citroen), 2.0TDCi (Ford) and 2.0D (Volvo) engine is responsible for emission, shorter engine warm up time, smoother turning off and VNT turbocharger spool down on idle. Valve clogged with soot can not close as should or even get stuck which can cause engine management light to turn on. That's why you should take care of your EGR valve, clean it and don't blank it.

This engine can be found in cars:
Citroen/Peugeot (DW10 BTED4): C4, C4 Picasso, C5, C8, Jumpy / Dispatch, 307, 308, 407, 508, 607, 807, Expert.
Ford (G6DB, QXBA, QXWB, QXWA): Focus MK2, C-Max, Galaxy, Kuga, S-Max, Mondeo MK4.
Volvo (D4204T): C30, C70 II, S40 II, S80 II, V50, V70 III.
Other: Fiat Scudo, Fiat Ulisse, Lancia Phedra.

Thank you for even showing the tools you use.

Mr Fix - thanks for the video, was very helpful.

For Citroen C8 (and most likely the Peugeot 807, Fiat Ulysse and Lancia Phedra) here are a few tips:

The entire operation is far easier if you remove the induction pipe from the filter box running to the turbocharger inlet, simply remove the blanked loom lead from above the EGR lead, loosen the jubilee clip at the air box, disconnect the breather as shown in the video and remove the single screw at the turbo inlet manifold, with a bit of wiggling it will lift right out.

When removing the EGR screws you will have better luck from below if the rear screws are tight. Once the induction pipe is removed you get fairly clear access to the EGR and you will see the two rear screws (8mm head), the lower EGR cooler screw (10mm head) and single hex head screw on the bottom (4 or 5mm, think it was 5). Remove the bottom and cooler screws and loosen the rear screws enough you can easily undo them from the top of the block (mine were quite tight and too stiff to easily undo from the top, others may be luckier).

When reassembling you will have to have the EGR fairly tight onto the cooler before the bottom screw will locate, just keep tightening until it goes in.

Finally, I replaced my EGR with a Delphi EG10396-12B1, this was a like for like part and required NO reprogramming, just a simple reset with a basic diagnostics machine.

Thank you for the video. It helped me a lot to get to the glow plugs of our Focus 2.0 TDCI convertible. First I had to remove the EGR and the EGR cooler as you showed.

really good clear video thankyou. i need to attempt this on a focus c-max 2.0 but the access is a nightmare.

This is a batch of a job on a Ford C max, done twice, now it's simplified, blanked it off. Runs better no smoke. Just remove blank for mot test and refit after she passes. Takes 30 minutes either way.

Thanx man for the video
Please wil you tell me where the EGR valve located in mitsubishi grandis 2009, vw 2, 0 motor ?!

[quintincoetzer]

Were there any replacement of gaskets needed when put back on the vehicle?

[donaloc]

How regularly should this be done. Also is it likely to be similar for a later 1.6 HDi?

[hulstrup]

Thank you for take the time, to make this video, very helpful.

Hi, instead of petroleum ether, can I use regular auto gasoline for cleaning? Thanks in advance.

[marcs]

i have ford mondeo with the same engine, but the trouble is my egr there's a bolt underneath and i'm finding very difficult to undo this bolt, also on the silver pipe there's no gasket on the egr side is this right?

[artoorik]

would you recommend to delete egr valve on c30 2.0d?

[tommygun]

Hi I have a Peugeot 807 2.2 HDI starting to suffer from power loss one minute its fine the next there's no power and struggling to move people have told me it is possibly the EGR sensor where abouts is it located and if so would I be able to do it myself or is it a garage job thank you

[gilbertadam]

Can a dirty/stuck EGR valve stop the turbo from working, as I have a 2005 Citroen C4 with a 2 litre turbo diesel and the turbo isn't working.

[wggdndc]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Any idea where the 3rd bolt from the egr is located as I’m having trouble finding it. Did feel something under it but can’t get a wrench on it.

[boromiralles]

good morning. First of all congratulate you for your videos. I have a volvo s 40 2.0.d 136 hp has no particulate filter. What happens to me is that it does not start and it turns on and it turns off light heaters, I have disassembled and cleaned EGR everything is well, diesel battery. The console says P0490 control A high exhaust gas recirculation. Excessively high RGE control signal. many thanks.

[wilduck]

Hi! Its very helpful your vedio. Just one thing i could not remove the egr becuase of the 3rd bolt. Could anyone advice how to remove the 3rd one bolt thank you very much

[attilajozsefkovacs]

[maxvfour]
