This is WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST EXPLANATION about the EGR! All the other videos ive seen only focus on the egr recirculating exhaust gas into the intake, but they never explain why, what for, the way it all operates. This video COVERS IT ALL! I could honestly say that i was one of those who considered the egr a dumb idea and question what it was for. THANK YOU FOR THE VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO!
yes. delete the egr! also, delete the rest of the engine, and get av EV.
@skata skatata as if getting an EV makes less pollution and reduces carbon footprint. *cough cough toxic lithium pools & cobalt mining* Fuck your EVs. Hydrogen-powered ICE is the future of clean combustion.
@@skataskatata9236 delete the EV and go on foot (and wait for internal combustion hydrogen cars)
@@skataskatata9236 Yeah because those lithium and cobalt mines are so environmentally friendly....
@@skataskatata9236 You really have no idea how the greater EV supply chain for everything that makes them exist and function works at all, do you? 😂
This is the best explanation on KZhead . Better than any Aussies or US video . You should do more of these videos . Keep it up !!
Great video, watching from Australia !
Ive watched at least 10 videos on EGR and NOTHING has explained it with so much clarity as you have. I feel I fully understand it and other things now regarding engines, such as pumping loss which I have never heard before today. Subscribed INSTANTLY 🏆
You should be a teacher if you are not already.absolutely brilliant video explaining everything including pros and cons.even if 1 person benefits and is educated your work sir is a triumph.education is empowerment and you have empowered already 60k plus people.bravo may you keep helping people and get your just rewards.
Woah ,if you don't understand will never understand. What a top notch explanation and details. Superb. Very smooth and a calmly way no background music ,I really enjoyed and learned from it.Thank you for your precious time and effort. 😊
I doubt anybody could be bored with such a well presented and comprehensive explanation of the workings of the EGR valve, up until now I had no idea it was so complex and desirable. Thank you for this video I'm subscribed and about to further educate myself with your help
Bored?? Man, this video was so entertaining. You have talent to educate people. One of the best educational videos i have watched. thank you.
I have been a heavy duty diesel mechanic for over 30 years now. None of the emissions changes they have made have given trucks better fuel economy. But like he mentioned deleting the egr system greatly effects the combustion temperature. I have seen many deleted engines and they are know for cracking the head due to higher temperatures.
Hi sir, I own a BMW E46 320d 150hp. I deleted the egr without problems after it. It's an euro 3 car. Do you think I could have those head problems on the future on It ?
@@Adrian-re9fh From the research I just did on your BMW it looks like they are using the same head casting before and Afters they added EGR to that engine. So as a everyday driver not trying to be a high profor
Not trying to be a high-performance engine it should be just fine.
@@theodoreflageolle3617 Thanks, have a nice day.
Your demonstration with the blow torch is brilliant. Nice job, sir.
yes that an amazing demonstration, and so clear!
I'm glad I found your channel! Excellent explanation on DIY projects! Waaaay better than channels with larger followings!
Absolutely excellant coverage of the EGR system, your methodical and measured approach to teaching your subject is phenomenal! Thank-you, well worth the time spent!
Man, you’re a master! This is the best explanation about EGR available on YT. Very well done!
The views on this video should be in the millions, Thank you for a brilliant explanation.
This video deserves MILLIONS of views. FANTASTIC work here. It's so informative
thank you for that video, honestly, it's the best explanation about the EGR on the KZhead. your explanation is very precise, I found in this video the information I search for several years.
Yes! Thank you for mentioning pumping losses in relationship to the EGR. Clear explanation and demonstration, excellent! Well done. Love the little throttle moving from underneath the sheet of paper, nice🙂
Thank you. Its the best i can do given that i know nothing about computer animation lol
@@MrDIYer Haha, it was really good to be honest! No need for fancy animations.
@@MrDIYer explanation and illustration was very good and informational, oh and who ever got bored did not want to learn something new, god bless you keep the good work.
@@joseone69 thank you very much...
@@MrDIYer If the egr is deleted on a diesel, doesn’t the intake valve being open during intake prevent pumping loss? If not open wide enough, it could be tuned to open more, allowing the piston to move as intended? What about the excessive heat? Is there a software/tuning solution or hardware (cooling) solution besides obviously an egr?
Absolutely fantastic! So clear and unhurried and captivatingly well explained. Best “How it works” video I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together. Huge thumbs up! Regards Guy
This is the best I have seen to explain how a egr valve works. Very simple to understand. Great job thank you
Best and most carefully explained account of the EGR valve I've ever watched. You have a new subscriber!
This is probably the best explanation of the EGR and how it works. Very good work. It makes way more sense to me now.
What an amazing video! You were so thorough! Best video on KZhead explaining egr hands down, thank you very much
No one has explained this better! Great job!
One of the best well presented videos I’ve seen on this platform. Thank you!
Thank you! This is the best explanation I have ever seen on EGR. I would be curious to hear your opinion about swirl flap delete as well
Absolutely mind blown by how comprehensive this video was, thank you!!!!
What a great description of how the EGR works. Very interesting and superbly done. Great
WONDERFUL EXPLANATION!! We know that people know what they’re talking about, when someone who doesn’t understand a thing about these topics, finds it easy to understand.
Brilliantly explained with a clear language! Looking forward to watch more! But when I watch my engine with a OBD-App, I can see, that the EGR is also working in cold engine during idling. No faults in ECU. Greeting from Germany!
Congratulations for all your explanation, I really appreciate all the content and the examples you provide. Keep sharing great content please. Thank you!!!
Thank you for recording this video. Your explanation was so simple to understand. You explained like a university professor.
Extremely thorough explanation. Thanks for taking the time to do this 👍
Subscription earned. You have a gift for clear and concise teaching with excellent physical demonstrations.
I wasn't even looking for EGR Info but decided to give this a watch based on the rave reviews.. I am now so much richer for having watched this, thanks! One day I might clean my EGR valve.. maybe..
Mann, you are the best teacher on KZhead regarding EGR valve....keep up the great work....
This is a great video. I had it explained to me that the EGR cooler was responsible for cooling the exhaust down to less than ambient, which I thought didn't make sense. This explains how the EGR reduces temperature much better
Definitely not bored, this is one of the best explanation videos I have seen.
Very well explained about the egr system 👍 I have a 1KD-FTV 3L turbo diesel and what I did after removing and cleaning the whole intake system was put a blanking plate with a 7mm hole in between the egr cooler and number 1 pistion intake . This still allows the egr to flow at a lower rate sloweing down carbon biuld up with no codes coming up 😊 worked 4 me .
Thank you! This is by far the best and most comprehensive explanation of the EGR systems in our vehicles! Because of this, I had to subscribe! 👍
Best and comprehensive EGR explanation on the internet so far, kudos to you sir and tvm!
Nicest explanation of EGR. Slow, steady and clear.
Very clear explanation on the EGR glad I found your channel keep up the good work.
mechanic here , this guy is correct, also D4D hilux/prado etc pistons crack due to high engine load (full power up a hill towing a caravan example), hot piston ,cold fuel shot at piston.......so if you can lower the combustion temp you improve the chances of pistons lasting. so EGR needs to stay. sadly it will soot up the intake but there are ways to mitigate this. im sure ill get critics but its true (i wish it wasnt haha)
Thank you for taking the time to help me understand the EGR system. That took a lot of time and effort.
Excellent explanation -- clear, to the point, easily understood. Kudos sir!!!
Dear sir, this is the best teaching on egr. Not every one who knows can explain like you. You are a born professor. Thank you so much.
The clearest, most logical lecture on EGR!
this guy is a great exlpainer.he never says um,or ah. just flowing fluent educational speech.awesome!👍
Second Explorer's comments ... THE ABSOLUTE BEST EXPLANATION about the EGR. Thank You Very Much for SHARING THIS VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO !!!
After watching so many videos about EGR, this is the only one that I understand. Thank you, Sir!
Really like your style and enjoyed this very informative video. Before this I only had a very vague idea of what an EGR does.
Great info. Never heard of the pumping losses point. How would a turbo or supercharger affect this?
Świetnie wytłumaczone . Fajne pokazanie zasady z tym palnikiem 😊
Wow thank you for this. Really informative. I was a bit reluctant to watch because 20 minutes seems long... but it was worth every second. Well done!
Excellent presentation, clearly explained and illustrated, more please!
This is amazing! Thank you for your work! Edit: initially commented to ask about the pcv system, but I found your other videos.
This egr explanation is absolutely brilliant.
Thank you very much , never found a video explaining EGR like yours , simply the best.
Excellent explanation of the recirculating gas system on the diesel and ICE engine. Thanks for making this so accessible.
Great job! You thoughly explained the EGR in simple terms! Thks so much!
Your videos are amazing! Very easy to follow and great depth in the explanations. However, I would argue that during startup egr helps to get the (diesel) engine up to temperature quicker. @09:30
Brother...that was so to the point..and informative...I watch Chris fix, Scotty , a handful of other vehicle diagnostics and repair channels..dude that was delivered in a manner that I have to say is one of the easiest to get a good mental grasp of the egr system..the illustrations the slow pace.. the constant explanation of everything mentioned previously. ..dude you got a like and subscribe today...id rank this video up there with a few of my favs from project farm...so yeah. Um guess I'm about to binge watch the rest of your videos until the Dallas cowboys game comes on. Thanks boss
Literally this guy answered questions as my mind was thinking them up! I'm same as you as in chris fix, scotty and everyother tom dick and harry. I have not had such the pleasure as watching this guys videos, explaining every detail we actually require! Spent hours searching on youtube and google and forums and to finally get somewhere!
Thank you Mr DIYer for a fantastic explanation of how the EGR works The best video I have seen on youtube
thank you for your clarification about this information, I was confused before I watched your video
Great video, very informative. My egr is playing up, causing lumpy idle and juddering when cruising. I was going to delete it but now I'm thinking cleaning it will be better. Do you have a video on how to fix them and clean them out? Thankyou
thanks for another informative and educating video. every time i watch you vids i feel like i am in a automotive class. nice how you explaining things. maybe you should do a video on high oil pressure and low oil pressure and what causes it.
Thank you.
Well funny you should ask this... My honda civic tourer 1.6 i-dtech apparently has a low pressure egr and a higher pressure egr?? seems like they are buried in engine bay compared to previous cars I have owned. This is the firstcar I look at the engine bay and think... get someone else who knows to do it. everything is covered by something else and everything is so pact tight together.
Kudos sir! Hindi man lang ako inantok. Mas naging attentive pa tuloy ako. More power sir!
Mate that was bloody awesome u should get a award so clear and easy to follow love it thanks heaps keep up the great work mate
Thank you for making and posting this video you have explained it in simple terms also with simple diagrams I have now subscribed to your channel and given this video a thumbs up thanks
A friend of mine removed the EGR on his Mercedes Sprinter and got 20 - 30% lower fuel consumption, with todays prices on Diesel this is a HUGE saving....
Brilliant simple explanation, great video thanks for taking the time to make it.
This is by far the simple and very understandable explaination i ever came across
Perfect explanation and well paced. Superb work 👍
Brilliant! clear and comprehensive explanation
This is a whole EGR masterclass. Liked and subscribed ❤❤❤
Ma dude, this is the best egr video on KZhead. Thank you for that. Subscribed!
Great video sir,l have a lsuzu truck always having problems with dpd unit but most likely it's the egr valve playing up making the ecu think its something to do with dpd cause all the symptoms explained are happening with engine while dpd just went thru it's cycle
Best explanation video about EGR I have ever seen on Internet !
I want to pay you for this seminar. Wow. Very well explained!!!
This the best EGR explanation video ever !!
This is a fantastic video, one of the best I've seen on youtube on any topic.
ang galing magturo! veryinformative and straight to the point.
MANURE!! Awesome explanation and references. 1st time 4 me. Subscribed!
Excellent video, Sir! Clear and comprehensive.
Wow That's a precise explanation by an engineer.
Best video on you tube explaining what an egr valve does Credit to you sir and thank you.
Simply The Best. Thank you for posting. Kind regards, Joe.
That explains exactly what was happening to my Ford Transit. Started knocking noice and low power after not a great amount of miles. Still a young motor. Still went but slow build up to 100kilometers. Had i seen this awesome video earlier. I would have cleaned the EGR. I literally wrecked the entire vehcle because of it and sold it as parts.
This is the BEST explanation ever . Never understood the topic with such clarity. I would request you to make more such videos.Sir can you suggest some good text books for Automobile Engineering.
Nice explanation, I've been driving diesel cars for taxi for years. my advice, if you don't want endless costs, issues and codes, get a diesel car with less sensors, egr, dpf, adblue, additives and other complicated components that needs the car to be plugged in to figure out what is going wrong. diesel cars only needs service and that's it.
hopefully you can still buy completely analog diesel engine that can pass modern emissions requirements. Especially Euro V/VI requirements. Nowadays you can't do that anymore without aftermarket exhaust treatment systems.
To show you how wonderful your explanation is, my graduation project was based mainly on this video. You made things easier for me, thank you🌹.
Very clear and concise explanation, thank you! New subscriber here!
I'm not a mechanic, and I have no wish to get dirty, but I'm here to educate myself about the EGR on my BMW X5 XDrive, which triggered my engine management indicator twice, then self cleared. My mechanic confirmed via diagnostics that it is egr. Now then, your explanation and detail delivery is top notch. You make me want to come out of electrical engineering retirement to be a mechanic. Well done sir.👍🏿👍🏿
Crystal clear explanation Mr. DIYer. Thank you very much.
Awesome video and a huge thank you. I was about to blank off my EGR system and bypass the cooler on my 3.2Lt Ford Ranger due to an issue this vehicle has with the EGR cooler failing and hydraulic locking the engine due to coolant entering the intake. Now I think the best approach is to install a new EGR cooler instead.
I cracked the head on my ranger 3 months after deleting egr. Mechanic I took it to said he sees it all the time when egr is deleted due to higher combustion temps and so forth. Doing research I found this video, probably best not to delete it.
@@AdmissionGaming lol. Sure.
@@rightsdontcomewithpermits7073 Yeah combustion of diesel is a lot hotter than petrol inside the cylinder.
@@NoOne56488 ohh that's why it takes forever to warm up compared to petrol? Cuz it's hotter? And Like at 0 degrees it has to do high idle in order to stay at operating temperature? Can't speak for cylinder temperature but I saw reduction in egt after turbo. After egr delete. And after straight pipe temperature reduction was even greater. Hey if you love all that sand(carbon) in our oil by all means leave it all in place! More power to you!
@@NoOne56488 by the way ignition of a diesel is lower than of a petrol. So not sure how diesel would burn hotter. 🤷♂️
You are great at making people understand Sir.....and that too without any cost
Excellent explanation of the EGR System.. Just wondering how engine mods, such as CR increase affects EGR.
Great Explanation wish a seen your video sooner as so many other videos that was kinda useless in any type of explanation.💪
Thank you very much for your informative crush course on EGR.
This is awesome video with great real world examples and analogies.
Thanks for the effort you put into that. So very helpful.
