EGR removal

[DeeTurbo]

Here's how I got mine off.


You can see above the turbo one of the nuts that hold the valve on the manifold. Boy was it a pain to get to this and the other one. This one I got to from below and the other from above the engine.

The first spanner I used I could feel the nut starting the round so I had to try get a socket on to it but the inlet pipe was in the way. To get the inlet pipe out the way I had to remove the 90 degree elbow off the inlet manifold, the vacuum pump off the side of the engine and I had to move the engine forward a bit by undoing the top engine mount. With that all done the clutch cable kept getting in the way also.



EGR port on the 90 degree elbow. Not looking to bad in there.



Pipe coming from the EGR.



Inside the 90 degree elbow. Nice and clean.

Close up of the piping and what had to be removed.



Engine on the crane, this crane has been modified for stuff we do at work.



The EGR removed.



The valve covered in crap.





Inside the valve where it goes on to the the exhaust manifold. The valve hasn't been activated in a long time I think it's been around ten years.





The new plate fitted.



Inside the inlet manifold.



The plate fitted to the 90 degree with a push fit adaptor so I can measure the boost pressure.

You can just unplug the solenoid that activates it.

1. vacuum line to EGR valve
2. vacuum supply line from Vac pump
3. EGR solenoid
4. EGR solenoid blue plug
5. Air douser solenoid
6. Air douser solenoid black plug
7. vacuum line to Air douser valve
8. vacuum supply joint Tee from Vac pump via the master cylinder


on my HDI i have unplugged the pipe (2) from the Tee (8) and plugged (2) with a suitably sized plastic plug to prevent loosing vacuum from the brakeing system as shown in the picture
