Alfa Romeo 147 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 147 MK 1 - Years 2000-2010
Part: EGR valve
Operation: Cleaning the EGR valve and intake manifold

The EGR valve (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) recirculates a "small" part (5-15%) of the exhaust gases by passing them from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold: the recirculation of the exhaust gases reduces the quantity of mixture useful for the purpose combustion and power output and serves to lower the maximum temperatures of the cycle, thus reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). The close contact between the exhaust gases and the EGR valve therefore causes them to clog with a consequent loss of balance in the functioning of the engine (especially when starting), with a loss of performance and an increase in consumption. It is therefore suggested to disassemble the EGR valve, remove the actuator (solenoid) and carefully wash the valve body with an industrial degreaser; The intake manifold should also be disassembled and washed in order to eliminate all encrustations and dust residues. In some cases, it may be more appropriate to install a remanufactured EGR valve as the acidity of the exhaust gas corrodes the seat of the valve plug and the plug itself and simple cleaning is not enough to restore operation and not It is also excluded that the anomaly may be in the actuator.
