A problem with the manifold and EGR valve of a Fiat 500 1.3 MultiJet.

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: EGR valve

In this video we see how a Fiat 500 1.3 MultiJet had a big problem, it was jerking and giving off white smoke even though there were no errors in the engine control unit. The problem was the intake manifold completely full, clogged with soot, as well as the EGR valve, which could no longer work properly and therefore everything else became clogged. The YouTuber also shows us the absolute pressure sensor, with the central hole completely blocked. Therefore, the necessary air for perfect combustion does not arrive, then the sensor is completely clogged, and communicates false data to the engine control unit. As a result, there will be excessive fuel consumption, so it would be a good idea to periodically clean the intake manifolds.
