EGR valve sounds like a Duck!!

Ok reconnect the pipe to the EGR valve. Now follow that pipe down under the inlet manifold. You should feel it come to a box like object. This is the EGR solenoid valve. Going into this as well as the pipe from the EGR is another one. Pull off this pipe and plug it. You have to plug it because the vacuum is fed to other components as well.
Hope this helps.

That's what I tried to explain in my other post in that other thread.:(

Doesn't that other pipe operate the variable vanes on the turbo?

As on that solenoïd only two pipes, one incoming (right hand side) - one outgoing (left hand side) towards the EGR, I assume, as Allan says that right hand pipe also feeds other components such as the turbo vanes, if it is blocked at the arrival at the solenoïd I guess the other components are fed further up that pipe and not through this solenoïd which I think only feeds the EGR valve ?
 
Im still a little lost as to what the cause and remedy is for this issue.

Mine doesnt sound like a duck though........ just a whurring that descends in tone and volume. Lasts maybe 10 secs. I have a EGR blank mod and also using a DTUK chip (Green).

Please can anyone help me as i am selling the car to a friend and dont want t him to inherit a big problem.

thanks

Does it sound like this ??

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9a_FGlvpag"]YouTube - Spindown noise[/ame]

As I have read before/other threads blocking off the arrival tube at the solenoid down at the engine is the solution for this ?
 
Yep. thats the sound although not as aggressive.

Unfortunately being technically minded and not mechanically minded i dont know what these things are that you say is the cause / remedy.

Any further help is appreciated for the fool that is me! Pictures, video and pointy arrows would help.

Follow the vacuum pipe that has been disconnected from the original EGR valve. You will find it is connected to a solenoid along with one other pipe. Disconnect that other pipe from the solenoid and plug it and the noise will stop. Secure the plugged pipe to something nearby out of harms way.

Hi Chaser,

Today I pulled the vacuumtube off the plastic thing near the servobrake unit, over that opening I put two layers of ducktape and pushed the vacuumpipe over it again, hope this double layer will suffice as a stop for the vacuum to get through towards the solenoïd. Tried first to remove it down there but was too difficult. Hope this way it will also prevent the every now and then ticking like a duck.:cool:

!!!!!yer all quackers on ear !!!!!
 
Almost two weeks now and since done more short journeys as usual (bad cold so all "sorties" by car instead of the bike) and not heard the duck so far. Might be coïncidence but hope it will stay away. Could it be that it is the solenoïd which is clicking that fast for one reason or another and as no more vacuum arriving at it no possibility for that noise anymore ?

It's definitely gone Will, haven't heard mine since 12k miles ago....

Thanks Chaser, will have to talk to my neighbour then as I've heard his' as well (after I blocked off the tube at the arrival side at the valve). Can't be too healthy I guess if this happens regularly ??

Btw.: I have the impression that the engine stops faster/more direct since I put these ducttape layers. When I turn the key now the engine stops with "no more inch" movement in it. Hard to explain and guess will get used to it in a couple of days but that's what struck me after I just blocked it.

I too had a farting duck sound when I fitted an EGR bypass. :confused:

I have taken the inlet hose off the solenoid and connected it directly to the metal stub on the EGR bypass & zip-tied it on.. Taken the shorter vacuum hose from solenoid to EGR off completely.

No Farting Duck! He's a Gonner:D

Thanks to everyone who's posted on this.
