Egr

Hi peeps I decided too do my injectors other day which all went fine until put all back together ,I’m getting smoke come up from where the egr was the clamp is leaking should there be a blocking plate in between the two pipes please see pic not best pic try get another didn’t hear anything fall when I took apart so no idea if one should be there or not if not is there a better way to seal pipes thanks a lot guys couldn’t do it without use learning on my feet

Hi,

Don’t forget to blank the depression pipe.

Put a deleting egr valve like this :

Hi Telbr7?
Is the first photo actually of your EGR pipe, if so the special clamp is not fitted correctly, so maybe that is why you are getting smoke

^ This.
Your pipe should be at 90 degrees to the EGR. Yours is currently not seated correctly and therefore not sealed.
Undo the clamp, take it out and refit. The lip on the pipe sits in the clamp securely, flush to the EGR.

… even a blanked egr will have that pipe connected

Since we don’t see the rest of the EGR valve.

So I think the blanking plate don’t fit, so the clamp won’t fit too.

I was suggesting to put the right a blanking EGR part.

Hi thanks for the replies here’s some more pics I’ve took clamp back off and re fitted still smoke coming out should one pipe actually fit in side the other or just butt up to it because mines not quite long enough to fit inside by a few mill

The whole set up is wrong, the reason the pipe from the aftermarket EGR is most likely because it's to short, also you should not be using a cable tie to hold the hose on, it is part waiting to fail.

Why have you fitted an aftermarket EGR blank? any MOT technician worth his salt should spot the EGR solenoid hose has been blanked of and hanging down, which is a fail.

Why did you not clean out the original EGR and re-fit it if you wanted to go down the road of blanking the EGR then again use the original, gut it and blank the exhaust end job done and it looks original therefore pass any MOT.

I've been fitting these since late 2011early 2012.

Also just changing the EGR for a blank does not solve the gunked up manifold and MAP sensor. the manifold also needs to be cleaned out.

Seen some real bad ones

MAP sensors dirty and clean.

do you still have the old original EGR.?

The after market EGR should already be blanked at that point where the exhaust pipe joins the EGR, the only thing i can think off it's to short ?

Original gutted and blanked.

Removed these from an owners cars and threw them away replaced with an original EGR.

The mating joint must be like this below.

Ok no problem, do you have a photo of how it's fitted now, because if the exhaust pipe as no support from the EGR then the concertina part may fail in near future.

On either an Auto or a manual.
