How to clean the EGR valve of a Clio 3 1.5 dCi.

Model: Renault Clio Clio 3, Clio III, MK 3 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

As shown in the video, open the engine compartment of your Renault Clio 3 1.5 dCi and remove the engine cover. At this point, you will see your EGR valve connected to the intake pipe. This valve is designed to burn unused gases from the diesel engine and it gets dirty with a certain frequency, so it is important to keep it clean regularly. Using a small flathead screwdriver, remove the connector. The valve is secured by three bolts, one of which is located behind the valve itself, making it more difficult to remove. Use an 8mm wrench. Remove the valve and also the intake duct. Clean them thoroughly with a suitable degreaser multiple times until completely clean. Reassemble everything.
