Simply genius! I wish I had thought of that when I did mine...eddie_1 said:I just wanted to point out what I did to the plunger stub after it had been sawn off. I actually drilled it back further which can be done through the EGR port opening as seen below. (I wanted to address the potential for the 'weeping hole' problem by sealing this hole off with J&B Weld.)
This is a very good question... when i did my SRP i thought about of it and i didn't do it finally for this question...LiquidBlackDZL said:Is there any chance of the jb weld and quicksteel getting sucked out of the holes and into the intake? How likely is that to happen?
All I can say is that it has been a couple of months of 18 PSI and spikes driving driving without any issue. JB Weld/Quicksteel have been tested in much tougher applications i.e. rebuilding engines etc. So if the bond was that weak there would be alot more people screaming. The main thing you want to do is to roughen up the contact surface for better bond. A chemical bond can be much stronger than a few threads.LiquidBlackDZL said:Is there any chance of the jb weld and quicksteel getting sucked out of the holes and into the intake?

Hi Espagnol, you could have just tried it out on a piece of metal and taken a sledge hammer to it. Europeans think, Americans just do it!Satiro said:This is a very good question... when i did my SRP i thought about of it and i didn't do it finally for this question...
Ehhhh... do i must to congratulate you for to be an american?eddie_1 said:Europeans think, Americans just do it!
The TDI manifold is never under vacuum. Only at atmospheric pressure or above, so no risk of it getting sucked in. Worst case scenario would be it shooting the plug out.Satiro said:This is a very good question... when i did my SRP i thought about of it and i didn't do it finally for this question...
If you have another problem that would trigger a CEL, you would never know it.Jetta2001TDI said:Is there a long term engine problem with the the ECU knowing that there is a EGR fault code?
no it's not that smart -(mk4 Ibiza owner)Sin said:I have a 1.9 seat ibiza mk2, and was wanting to completely remove the egr valve as it seems to be quiet a easy job, but the egr at the moment seems to be control by a electronic vacuum switch, if i were to remove the egr would my ecu change the amount of air and fuel going into the engine ??
I have already tried to disconnect the switch's and nothing much seem'd to change still was ok to drive.
Eeek. I dont think I'd suggest taking the head off yourself if your at all unsure of what you are doing. Do you have the timing belt tools?spamuel said:Everyone here seems very mechanically inclined. So here goes, I made the mistake of cleaning the guck out of the manifold without removing it. With the shopvac going i seemed to have missed some chunks from falling in. I'm sure i have a bent valve now that i tried to start the engine, and it's seized. Any ideas on tutorials or service manual PDFs i can take the head off? and the steps to follow.
LurkerMike said:Thanks. I am the ultimate hillbilly redneck machine shop... I used a bicycle pump I bought at WallyMart for the sleeve material. I gave it the needed sizing and taper with an exhaust pipe expander. I honed it out with a wheel cylinder brake hone. I used a die grinder to get a 1 3/4" cup saw drill started in the EGR and I bored it out with that cordless drill. JB Weld epoxy to glue it in. (not pictured is a can of carburetor cleaner and some paper towels that I used to clean off the excess epoxy before it hardened).
Here is the tool kit you will need:
Here is how it compares with the race pipe that I removed (to add anti-shudder valve protection)... it is only slightly smaller in diameter where the butterfly is located:
