How to clean the EGR valve of the Ford Transit

Model: Ford Transit MK 8 - Years 2014-2024
Part: EGR valve

The first thing we need to clean an EGR valve is a specific cleaner, like the Arexons that we can find on Amazon with the code B01FY0IDDQ at the price of 15.15 euros, with free delivery in 4 days for Prime customers. We need to disconnect the battery, locate the valve which is on the intake manifold, connected to a metal pipe that comes from the exhaust, and then we need to remove some components: the electrical connector or the vacuum hose; the intercooler hose; the inlet and outlet pipes, the fastening bolts. It is not necessary to disassemble everything, so we do not open the throttle body as well. We spray the cleaner generously on all internal parts, especially on the piston and ducts. We let it sit for 10/15 minutes and then gently scrub with nylon brushes (never metal). We rinse with more cleaner and dry with clean rags. We reassemble everything with these torque specifications: valve fastening bolts: 10 Nm; intercooler hose: 10 Nm; EGR gas pipes: 20 Nm. We reconnect the electrical connector and hoses, reconnect the battery, and start the engine.

If the lever that unlocks the bonnet of the Renault Megane is broken or not functioning, there is an emergency procedure to unlock the mechanism: remove the right front grille located at the top of the bumper. Once the grille is removed, you can locate the actuator mechanism: by pulling the spring in this position, you can unlock the actuator, allowing you to lift the bonnet and access the components located inside the engine compartment. You can then close the bonnet simply by lowering it.
