GaryM Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 In a quest to find out why my 1.9TDI (115) is not running right, see my other post, Poor Performance Or Not?. I decided to take a look at the EGR. I'm no motor mechanic but happy to take things appart. Couldn't find any pics sobelow is a pic of what the inlet and EGR look like. This is from a motor that has done 72K. Is this good, bad, normal? The inlet manifold also seems gummed up so I cleaned it up as best I could without getting muck down the pipe. Taking the manifold off is going to far for me. With the EGR all cleaned up I have to say that I cannot feel any difference in performance so I'm still at a loss with regard to the fault. BTW what is the black butterfly valve for, looks like a choke (just curious)? (I'll try and post the pic on monday from work via ADSL as I'm on Analogue dial up and keep getting timeouts when trying to post the pic) Quote
Guest SA Intruder Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 Black butterfly is the positive stop device - it closes to starve the engine of air to stop it quickly. Quote
GaryM Posted June 13, 2004 Author Report Posted June 13, 2004 As I got knowhere trying to post the picture as an attachement (Timeouts, webmaster!) I have posted them on another site and attached them that way... The EGRhttp://www.mpathltd.co.uk/Garys/egr.JPG Quote
