Check of serviceability of a condition of components of system of recirculation of the fulfilled gases (EGR)

The EGR valve usually is located on the inlet pipeline. The majority of failures of the system of recirculation is connected with sticking or damage of this valve.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Kill the engine and wait for its full cooling. Having reached through an opening in the valve, a finger press on its diaphragm, at moderate effort the diaphragm has to cave in considerably (address an accompanying illustration).

2. If the diaphragm does not cave in, or shows noticeable resistance, the EGR valve should be replaced. In case of lack of confidence in results of check compare the valve with new, or obviously serviceable.

The detailed description of a design and the principle of functioning of the EGR system is provided in the Head of the Control system of the engine and decrease in toxicity of the fulfilled gases.
