Wheres the EGR on my TD?
« on: 14 February 2009, 17:46:47 »
Hi,

Iain

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.

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. :-?

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

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!

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
