Hi,
With all the talk of EGR valves on here recently i'd like to give mine a clean, where abouts is it on my TD?
Cheers,
Iain

throttle body by the black plastic turbo diesel bit :y

Ta very much :y

Front end of inlet manifold.
Has two small-bore pipes from the underside.
Outer pipe goes to solenoid valve (by power steering reservoir).
Inner vents to atmosphere. Best to lengthen this downwards behind (and below) the radiator. Any oil build-up will then drop to the road, and doesn't get blown around the nearside of the engine bay by the viscous fan.
You'll need to remove the charge air pipe, (embossed 'turbo diesel'), and give this a good clean-out too. Oil build-up in this is usual.

Some only have the vac connection, nothing else :y

Yep, mine has only one, but I still have gungy oil dropping onto the coolant hose running to the engine block.
Don't know where that's coming from. :-?

ultimately from turbo. leaks from egr.

correct
however the lowest point of the system is the intercooler which is where the oil mist condenses and collects mostly, well worth whipping it off and cleaning it out!!! :y

my intercooler is always absolutely empty :y

in that case your turbo is good!!!! which is borne out by the good emission figures on your MOT!!! :y

Where is the intercooler that needs whipping off to clean?

Where is the intercooler that needs whipping off to clean?
Forward of O/S/F wheel-arch.
Follow the rubber outlet pipe forwards from the turbo.
Wouldn't mind having a look at mine, but not sure how to remove it.
See my post!

pretty obvious- 2 bolts iirc :-/

Silly question, does a blocked EGR lead to the car running in "Slug" mode from time to time? almost like feeling as though you are driving with the Hand brake on?
As I have this on mine from time to time, which I normally clear by dipping the clutch and revving the engine?? Or am I barking up the wrong tree???

Would need to get the fault codes to find out your issue. Some tractors can be paperclipped, so try that

The engine management light doesn't come on, I just have reduced power. (The light works when I turn the ignition on) I have mention to me the Exhaust valve before, but, was told that it could be bit fiddly...

Read the codes - remember its a gay BMW unit, thus never brings on EML when fault detected (in an effort to make their junk seem more reliable)
