Exhaust gas recirculation system

Notes:

  • ◆ The function/control of the exhaust gas recirculation system is performed by the diesel direct injection system control unit (J248) via exhaust gas recirculation valve (N18) to mechanical exhaust gas recirculation valve.
  • ◆ The tapered plunger in the mechanical exhaust gas recirculation valve varies the opening cross section according to valve travel.
  • ◆ Every conceivable valve position is possible through pulsed control.
  • ◆ The exhaust gas recirculation is switched off after approx. 10 minutes at idling speed.
  • ◆ Restart the engine or briefly increase the engine speed above idling speed when longer checks are necessary. Then repeat checks.
  • ◆ Secure all hose connections with the correct hose clamps (same as original equipment):
