How To Replace Egr Filter On 2010 Jetta Tdi

Peter Lowery, senior product manager, SMPE talks u.s. through EGR valve removal. How to cut down your labour time: time saving tips for VW 1.6D & ii.0D engines.

With a volume time of around 4.5 hours, EGR valve replacement on VW 1.6D and 2.0D engines can be a long and fourth dimension-consuming process. As i of the many parts that we've developed for remanufacture at SMPE we've regularly fitted this component to test cars. Through that experience we now believe we've institute a quicker way of getting the job done.

1.6D AND two.0D ENGINES COVERED: CAYB, CAYC, CAYD, CAYE, CFFA, CFFB, CFGB, CFGC, CFGD, CFHA, CFHB, CFHC, CFHF, CFJA, CLCA, CLCB, CLLA, CLLB

EGR valve removal

Remove the particulate filter and downpipe (notation: on certain models but it may be possible to remove the EGR valve without removing the DPF, however you SHOULD Non attempt this if yous're not confident). Disconnect the crankcase breather hose (i) and detach the air pipage from the air filter housing (2). At present movement the air hose and connectedness to the rear and disassemble from the turbocharger (3).

Remove the bolts (4) and detach the exhaust gas recirculation pipes. Use the new gaskets provided on reassembly. Remove the bolts and banjo bolt so detach the back up for the turbocharger with the oil supply line (v). Use the new gasket provided on reassembly (but applicable to some models). Clamp off the coolant hoses then disconnect from the EGR valve. At present remove the attachment bolts and then the EGR valve.

Refitting is the reverse of the removal process. Height up coolant equally necessary and, after fitting, utilise the appropriate diagnostic equipment to clear any fault codes and ensure the ECU is updated with the latest software issue. Switch off the ignition for at least 30 seconds, then commencement the engine and allow information technology to idle until it reaches normal operating temperature.

The new EGR valve base of operations settings should now have been learned. The engine may run slightly uneven for approximately l miles, until the ECU fully learns the adaptive parameters of the new EGR valve.

Our remanufacturing process

All components are stripped, cleaned of carbon deposits, inspected for wear, and replaced where necessary. A new SMPE in- firm manufactured PCB with custom designed electronics is fitted to the motor associates and all components are reassembled before the unit is calibrated and tested – this procedure accurately calibrates the electronic feedback of the valve. The coolant department is so pressure tested to detect whatsoever leaks. The terminal test is to period gasses through the unit at various pressures and rates to ensure the correct electronic signal is produced.
