Diy dpf removal Videos

i'm just trying to replace the a leaky valve cover gasket . My engine is identical to the one you see in this video here , you can see in this video that intake system is blocking the valve cover from coming off , once you get the screws off of course. my question is difficult or should i watch out for certain things when taking it off , i have a manual but it doesn't really cover this , thanks

The anti-shudder valve, when closed, is basically what causes the engine not to start, or causes the engine to shut off because the valve controls the air intake. As far as I'm aware, certainly on my vehicle, if I was to remove the EGR valve, I'd be removing this valve as well, because I understand the ASV is physically part of the EGR unit.

Just wanted to ask if you ever had any trouble with stripping the heads of the allen bolts. I got the top two out, but the bottom (and hardest to see) stripped and I couldn't get it even with an easy-out. I ended up trying to clean the valve while still on the car. Frustrating, indeed.

The purpose of the ASV is to prevent a "runaway diesel" and quieter engine shutdown. The advantage would be better airflow. The disadvantages would be no safety for a "runaway diesel" and you'll most likely have a check engine light, so you'll need your ecu edited to remove the code.

hey thanks for the tips , you seem like the right guys to ask about about removing that air intake system , trying to remove the valve cover to replace a gasket and this things in the way , don't want to remove it until i know a little more , you guys have any suggestions

I have a VW Golf 4 manufactured in the year 2000. Its change of gears is not smooth. I have changed the Gear box twice but the same effect-(hold up and subsequent release) and at one time the engine ran but engaging gears failed. what could be the problem

@89LT250R I'm actually from Ontario... I had to take ASV off to clean it and fix the pipe that keeps popping out. I saw a member from TDIClub used grub screws to hold the pipe in, so I'm going to do the same thing. Beats spending $100 on a new pipe lol.

@89LT250R I think even with a new one, it will wear over time because it doesn't hold tight like something that is bolted together. So it probably would work for preventing the pipe from wearing out also. I'm actually about an hour north of London.

Is the engine a PD or ALH diesel??? Also are you trying to replace the upper intake gasket or just the valve cover gasket??? This valve is to prevent a "runaway diesel" and also reduces the sound when the engine is turned off.

I never had to remove the valve on my car, but from what I've read, you'll have to turn the engine over in order for the cam the clear valve cover. Other than that, I don't believe anything else needs to be removed.

Diesels don't have throttle plates or bodies to control the air flow which in turn controls the rpm of the engine. Their throttle is controlled by the fuel adding into the motor.

thats okay i got it , it was just the egr system which blocks the valve cover from coming off , you can remove it without any issues . thanks anyways

Nice video 4Diyers, i will also try this. Sorry if i am bothering you, check out my problem/sounding engine youtube.com/watch?v=WnBkgxkIPgw Tnx

Nope, that's the Anti Shudder Valve on the PD engine. On the ALH which is the older model diesel, the EGR Valve is in that location.

@4DIYers not a bad idea, nad yea it does beat spending $100. I'm from Caledon, a bit north of Brampton, south of Orangeville.

Have you aligned the shift cables in the car??? That would make the car hard of shifting or not engaging in gears.

What is the purpose of removing the ASV? What are the advantages/disadvantages?

It's called a doggie collar. I have it. You can search it from kermatdi.com

I'm guessing this was for cleaning purposes? Where in Canada are you from?

Anti shudder valve? Don't you mean EGR valve? Correct me if I'm wrong

+fxmdbosko can you please ! Email me the tune [email protected]

I'm sorry that I make it hard on you driver ! Now when I make videos I will try not to do so while driving. I'm sorry and your are right I was just excited that my truck runs good and I can finally make money with it. 2.000.000 safe miles

+Horacio Oregel come by Las Vegas , I can help you out

+fxmdbosko would you be able to help me out? If so how can I contact you and where?

I will be in LA this week

+fxmdbosko that guy berretta I think his father is trump both ugly and dumb as fuck. Fucken racist fucks

He is for sure, a know it all jackass. .. can't Stand people like that. But he acts like he's a genius and we're all stupid and calls me numbnuts? I'll show him what happens if he's man enough to say it to my face... he's just a little punk who runs his mouth behind a cell, computer, and radio...he's not a man but I'll be glad to show him what a real man is and I don't think he'll like it.

Let it go William Tomlin , this guy is a tool . It's not worth even wasting time typing responses to this jack ass.

Thanks to Clinton this is why we have bullshit on these trucks, has nothing to do with anyone being smarter than the manufacturer, if it were up to them the DPF EGR bullshit wouldn't be on there, they are make to put that shit on there. I've had mine deleted and cranked up and I get 7mpg wether at 60 or 85 loaded or empty so I dont want to hear your bullshit about making 500k... and I too have been to College twice and I'm not going to brag about what I make, you can say what you want on here to make yourself feel like a man but instead of running your mouth hiding behind your computer just give me a call and we can discuss things like men or you can give me your address and I'll come to your door and see you boy... my number is 352-538-8207 and I've got over 20 years OTR you fuck!!! Call me baretta369 numbnuts!!!

+baretta369 good for you man , I own a best diesel repair shop in Las Vegas , also 17 trucks , so I would say 500.000 is probably what I spend in shop and truck parts a year

+Patrick Kraemer i could, but I choose to let people make total tools out of them self.

+fxmdbosko --You can block people and delete their comments from your channel.

I am a college educated business owner, make over half million a year...while u tinker with your truck you sleeper cell asshole

+fxmdbosko dont understand english? you fuck u better go back to afganistan u fuck!

+fxmdbosko ignorant ignorant douchbag...go back to afganistan

Please try to explain to us what is you are trying to say , it's a video explain my experience with the tune. You obviously don't understand English and therefore you have no idea what's done to the truck and how I get the mpg so high. It involves timing maps, fuel maps, turbo vgt maps , closing and opening maps . Please man give it a rest.

Hey dude. I have a Golf with the same engine, 170HP. I also had mine recalled recently for injector replacement. Anyway, I was wondering how different the car is with all those mods, and whether you've toasted the factory clutch or bought a stronger one? ;) I think it sounds great, and I love the last frame of the video where a huge cloud of smoke is coming out!

I'm not 100% certain but I think you only need to pass a smoke test at a certain rpm so might pass ok. And I don't think you can just 'remove' the dpf you have to get a new pipe without the particulate filter.. e.g. milltek pipe

Have you had problems with the MOT? I know some garages will turn a blind eye on the smoke test but if urs when through ok I'm so tempted

It sounds very nice but I dont like to breathe the particulate... so I think I will not remove the DPF in my Leon...

MOT Fine..ive since had injectors changed as part of the SEAT UK recall and it smokes less

how you removed the dpf ?? and now the car goes better? faster ? let me know

Car was a MY2009 on a 58 Plate, Replaced it now with a 2010 Leon Cupra R

hummm... wouldn't mind my leon sounding like this! what year is she?

Sounds even better under load and when doing tunnel runs

congratulations it sounds very nice

Are you from chesterfield mate?

Nope down south

I've Removed the DPF as well some days ago (just dpf the cat it's still there) and had a Remap of the ECU... even if the car runs faster smoother and uses less fuel since the delete I've started to notice some strange smell in the cabin (activating the reciculation also does not help) any clue what it might be?

Open downpipe ending roughly in the area of the shift lever, maybe a hair longer. It was about 2ft short of mating to the stock cat back portion of the exhaust and did not have the materials at home to fab up the connection

That's really not bad; in your opinion does it drone without a resonator on the highway?

Oh I see; didn't seem too loud, maybe I will do a straight pipe on mine :D

That is just an open downpipe right? No midpipe yet?

Bummer no turbo whisle.
