How is exhaust gas circulated in an EGR system?
Most EGR systems have a by-pass valve integrated with the EGR cooler. When the engine is cold, the exhaust gas is circulated directly into the engine.
What are the symptoms of a failing EGR valve?
What are the symptoms of a failing EGR valve? A faulty EGR valve can cause problems with the flow and operation of the EGR system leading to performance issues including a reduction in power, reduced acceleration and decreased fuel efficiency. It can also cause vehicle emissions to increase.
What are the different types of EGR valves?
This helps to ensure the car maintains fuel efficiency and emits fewer emissions. There are two types of EGR valves; a vacuum-operated and an electronically controlled EGR valve. A vacuum-operated EGR valve is usually only found in older vehicles. It is a straightforward system which utilises a vacuum to switch the EGR valve from closed to open.
How does the EGR valve position sensor work?
The position sensor of the valve is linear and provides a signal proportional to its supply voltage (usually 5V). The EGR valve position sensor signal is set to increases in the direction of the opening of the valve. The position sensor is used for three main reasons:
How do you remove the EGR tube from an intake manifold?
After all electrical lines have been removed, spray some penetrating oil onto the nuts and bolts that connect the EGR tube to the EGR valve and the intake manifold. This will loosen them and permit you to remove the tube without stripping the nuts or bolts. Step 6: Disconnect the EGR tube from the intake.
What’s the best way to replace an EGR valve?
Step 5: Spray the connections on the EGR valve and intake manifold with penetrating oil. After all electrical lines have been removed, spray some penetrating oil onto the nuts and bolts that connect the EGR tube to the EGR valve and the intake manifold.
What does EGR stand for in exhaust valve?
EGR Valve stands for exhaust gas recirculation valve, which breaks down exactly what it does. Recirculating the exhaust does a few things for overall performance. First, it optimizes the fuel to air ratio without pulling in extra air from the intake.
What happens when an EGR tube becomes loose?
The EGR tube is an important component of the EGR system. When it is damaged, leaking, has become loose, or has become disconnected, it will cause the vehicle to operate inefficiently. Proper diagnostic checks should be completed to determine the exact cause of the symptoms.
What are the disadvantages of pneumatic EGR valves?
The disadvantages of the pneumatic EGR valves are: the closing is ensured only by a return spring (in the event of soot deposits on the valve, it is not possible to remove the deposit by fast valve closing/smashing, which can result in a permanent open position)
Why is an EGR cooler needed In an oxidation catalyst?
The EGR cooler has a very high heat exchange efficiency and, without by-pass, the recirculated gases would be very cold and delay the warm-up of the oxidation catalyst, which would lead to excessive emissions of HC and CO. The solution is therefore to bypass the EGR cooler until the oxidation catalyst reaches nominal working temperature.
Most EGR systems have a by-pass valve integrated with the EGR cooler. When the engine is cold, the exhaust gas is circulated directly into the engine.
Why is my EGR valve not working on my Hyundai i30?
Since it was under warranty, I took it to the dealership and, after having the car for a couple of hours in their workshop, they said the EGR system was fine, and it’s most likely caused by carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. They told me to start using diesel additives, to help clean the injectors etc.
What is lowest commanded position of EGR valve?
So, during a drive today, I logged the EGR and other system monitors and found something weird: the EGR valve’s lowest commanded position is 4.7% (even at idle and full load) and the EGR Error is at 0% in this situation.
What is the errorcode for Hyundai i30 1.6?

What does an EGR valve and inlet manifold look like?
Remove the thin vacuum pipe that plugs into the valve adjacent to the electrical connection. The valve should then be free to be removed. Recover the rubber circular gasket from between the valve and the inlet manifold and the thin metal gasket from between the valve and the metal EGR pipe. The engine bay will now look like:
How does the EGR actuator work in a car?
Photo of EGR Actuator (DPFE Sensor wiring and a hose removed for clarity): The EGR Valve is a vacuum-operated gate that opens up to allow exhaust gases to travel from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold for recycling. Photo of EGR Valve with vacuum hose attached to the top: Replacement of DPFE Sensor
When do I blank off the EGR valve?
The engine code may need to be reset. After 3-5 times of switching the car on and off, the code should reset by itself if the original fault is fixed, but not always. I personally blank off EGR valves to prevent damage to the butterfly valves on the inlet manifold.
How does the EGR system in a car work?
So what is an EGR system and how does it work? EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation, and as its name implies, this system allows exhaust gasses from your car to be re-circulated into the engine, helping to reduce emissions.
Can a multimeter be used to test EGR?
The vehicle computer operates the valve instead of previous years EGR valves, which are operated by the engine vacuum. The procedure to test an electronic EGR is a bit different and requires a multimeter. If you notice your vehicle running poorly, stalling or having poor gas mileage, you should test the EGR.
What are the letters on an EGR valve?
Most of the EGR valves will have the letters A thru’ E molded onto the EGR valve’s connector. I’ll be using these same letters for the circuit descriptions below: Ground circuit for EGR valve solenoid. Gray with Black stripe wire. EGR valve pintle position sensor Ground (provided by the PCM). Black wire. EGR pintle position signal circuit.
Is there a way to delete the EGR?
Discussion in ‘ How-To ‘ started by TORQJNKY, Jan 18, 2009 . After looking at about 10-15 different threads about deleting the EGR and finally figuring everything out, I decided to put together this “EGR Delete” How To so the next guy doesn’t have to do as much research.
