How to Clean the EGR Valve of a Clio 3 1.5 dCi

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

As shown in the video, open the engine bay of your Renault Clio 3 1.5 dCi and remove the engine cover. At this point, you will see the EGR valve connected to the intake pipe. This valve is designed to burn unused gases from the diesel engine and gets dirty quite frequently, so it is advisable to keep it clean regularly. Using a small flat screwdriver, disconnect 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 spanner. Extract the valve and the intake duct as well. Clean with a suitable degreaser several times until fully clean. Refit everything.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
