Exhaust gas recirculation system

Notes:

  • ◆ The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is actuated from the diesel direct injection system control unit -J248 by way of the EGR valve -N18 to the mechanical EGR valve.
  • ◆ The mechanical EGR valve with its conical valve tappet permits varying opening cross-sections with varying valve lift.
  • ◆ Clocked actuation means any valve position is possible.
  • ◆ The EGR system is shut off after approximately 10 minutes' idling.
  • ◆ For lengthier measurements, restart engine or briefly increase engine speed above idling speed. Then repeat measurement.
  • ◆ Secure all hose connections with standard hose clamps:
