T5 2.0 twin turbo egr replacement

[Deanos]

Hey all just wanting to find someone who has any info on replacing/cleaning the egr on a transporter. Looks to be in a very tight deep position for non dislocatable hands.
Any help even links to a post? Would be fantastic.

Not sure if this will help as I think its a general bit of advice for EGR's Page Not Found Ignore the link message it does work !

Cheers sunny that will actually help but I first need to remove it haha.

These are the one that is on the front side of the motor. You'll need to put the front of the van into the service position to remove it.

Can you access the EGR pipe at either flange? If the valve itself is a bitch to get out, perhaps ordering a can of the Liquimoly diesel specific intake cleaner at Superchaep will be the answer, won't beat a physical clean, but may do the trick?

Sounds like it's going to be a long frustrating task for you.

Maybe different wording could help. The 'service position' can mean many different things. I am a mechanic however this engine is new to me and it's time to learn more about it. My egr needs inspecting/replacing so if you have some info that can help me I'd be extremely happy and grateful.

service position
Sounds great like a big job, i wonder if we could just spray some oven cleaner in the intake? Lol

My mechanics did it 3 times under warranty and quoted 6 hours labour.

Sounds about right.

I've only ever done one on these, and it was probably back in 2011.

Putting it into the service position takes around 20-30 mins.
