Good morning,

Im in the process of replacing my EGR, but have some questions after reading a multitude of post on here.

Plesae keep the responses relevant and on topic.

Mr car: GP 1.9 Mjet Sporting (199 engine)

1. EGR - Im not going to clean mine, I dont want to - So Im replacing with a new one. There are pleanry on the bay ranging from £48 up. Does anyone know the exact part numger for this?

2. Ive seen alot of info around using a swirl gasket, but can anyone tell me the following;
2.a - do you use the gasket, when you still are using the EGR, has nothing to do with blanking or egr delete. I want to keep mine working.

2.b - Can anyone supply a link to where I hcan buy these I cant find any incl ebay.

2.c Am i correct in saying, if i use a swirl gasket, it is placed between the EGR and the corrigate flext hose? - see image attached

3. Might be a silly question - Does the 1.9 Mjet have a divert valave? - I can not seam to locate one. If they do what is the part number and or where can I get a replacement (I dont think it has one but want to be sure)

4. Boost solanoid - what does this do? where is it located? what is the part number and where can I get one. Would this be related to boost release as I sometimes get it relasing a little.

the car idles fine, and boost pipes are fine.

As mentioned please remain on topic with answers.

Thanks



Thanks

Are you actually getting any symptoms or are you just trying to pre-emptive?

1.) OEM Part no is: 55215032. http://shop4parts.co.uk/?name=store&op=Details&ProdID=4965&sku=55334. Obviously that's for a genuine Fiat approved part "Pierburg".

2.) Yes the gasket is for maintaining the use of the EGR (it doesn't disable it). It's the same as a blanking plate except it's got holes in it. This in effect causes the gasses to "swirl" and avoid a lot of the carbon build up.

From what I gather it goes onto the other side underneath.

3.) No diverter valve as far as I know. No need on a Diesel due to throttle operating injector timing and not a throttle butterfly.

4.) Again no boost solenoid. I believe it's operated via Vacuum which operates the Variable vane turbo.

Brilliant, thanks for this.

Only very very very and I mean very small symptons - the very off stutter.

Also, at times the boost comes in...then flattends off....then picks up again...is that a sympton?

Also, on the od occassion when acceleration slowly (Ive an induction kit on) I here the pressure release....any common reasons as to why this happends.

Also, there seam to be alot of EGR's on eaby for £48 ish...are these ok

Not sure this is right part, My GP isnt listsed its the 1.9 130Bhp version I have.

That's the right gasket / blanking plate. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EGR-Valve...k_rvr_id=688958590459&clk_rvr_id=688958590459

From what you describe it does sound like EGR Sticking (the lift off hesitation). I'd also clean the MAP and MAF sensor.

I get the same boost release symptoms, it was very noticeable and getting worse before cleaning the EGR, now it's only very slight and not very often at all.

A new EGR may solve it.

Why don't you just block it off? Then give the inlet manifold and the map sensor a clean.

From blocking it off my mjet felt slightly better, I can imagine it will be better in the long run too, these egr's are a waste of time imo and are only bung on to meet regulations and such

Hi Chris (or anyone else)

Is there anything wrong with this egr? The price is good.
