How to clean the EGR valve of the Renault Captur 1

In this video, we can see how to clean the EGR valve of a Renault Captur 1. We will need an injector cleaner that we can find on Amazon with the code B0096Y6OII for the price of €16.07, with free delivery for Prime customers. Let's open the hood, but to clean the EGR valve, we need to lift the front of the car and remove various components from the top, starting with the electrical connector of the mass airflow sensor.

Then we remove the clamps of the supply pipe, which we will need to take off; we unscrew the fastening nut of the turbo air duct using a 10mm socket wrench; we remove the breather duct and take off the pipe. Now we can slide out the lower part of the turbo air duct, working from under the vehicle.

Then from the top, we will remove the entire duct. Now the EGR valve is visible; we will need to disconnect the power connector, then remove the supporting screws of the valve, and then take off the inlet pipe for the coolant.

The EGR valve is difficult to remove because it is caked with soot, so we will need to use some force; once it is turned, we also remove the outlet pipe; we will also need the inlet duct of the EGR valve. Now that we have everything on the bench, we remove the metal joint and spray the valve with cleaner, cleaning it with a brush until it is well cleaned.

We also clean the inlet duct. Then we pour an injector cleaner into the tank.

Now we can reassemble the pipe, then the valve, and then follow the entire process in reverse order.
