Procedure to follow in the case of a clogged EGR sole-
noid valve.
I - DESCRIPTION OF THE SOLENOID VALVE
The EGR solenoid valve is shown above in the active
position: solenoid valve open.
II - CLEANING THE EGR SOLENOID VALVE
Remove the EGR solenoid valve using the tool (Mot.
1729) (see the Workshop Repair Manual for the ve-
hicle concerned 14A, Emission control, Exhaust
recirculation solenoid valve):
- position the spigots (7) of the tool (Mot. 1729) in the
mounting holes of the EGR solenoid valve,
- take care to fully drive home the spigots (7),
- turn the tool in small steps to detach the EGR sole-
noid valve from its housing.
Clean the EGR solenoid valve (mechanical part on-
ly) using a cleaning jet.

14A
STAGE 1
Protect the vent holes (3) of the solenoid valve using
adhesive tape (8).
Liberally drench the solenoid valve with the cleaning
product whilst scrubbing it for 1 min.
STEP 2
Open the solenoid valve using the tool (Mot. 1757)
(see EGR solenoid valve actuator: Use).
Clean the mechanical part of the solenoid valve by
simultaneously scrubbing and drenching with clea-
ning product for 2 min, paying attention to:
- the valve seats,
- the surfaces of the valves,
- the shaft guide of the valves.
113186
WARNING
Do not wet the electrical part of the solenoid
valve with the cleaning product.
Keep the solenoid valve tilted with the connector
at the top.
Only use brushes with plastic or non-corrosive
metal (brass) bristles.
Cleaning using hard or corrosive tools (e.g:
screwdriver) can damage the valves or their
shaft, and lead to:
- a leak from the valves leading to power loss,
- loss of the upper valve, leading to destruction of
the motor.

STEP 3
Run the solenoid valve opening/closing cycle using
the tool (Mot. 1757) (see EGR solenoid valve ac-
tuator: Use). During the cycle clean the mechanical
part of the solenoid valve by simultaneously scrub-
bing and drenching with cleaning product, paying at-
tention to:
- the valve seats,
- the surfaces of the valves,
- the shaft guide of the valves.
STAGE 4
After the opening/closing cycle, open the solenoid
valve using the tool (Mot. 1757).
Scrub the upper valve over its entire surface and cir-
cumference.
Scrub the lower valve around its entire circumferen-
ce:
- scrub the area of the lower valve accessible throu-
gh the window (9),
- pick up the upper valve by hand (do not use a tool),
and turn it a 1/4 turn
- scrub the area of the lower valve accessible throu-
gh the window (9),
- continue until the valve has been cleaned over its
entire circumference.
Repeat STAGE 3 twice more.
Check there are no bristles from the brush in the so-
lenoid valve.

valve.
Refit the EGR solenoid valve (see 14A, Emission
control, EGR solenoid valve: Removal - refitting).
After cleaning the EGR solenoid valve, follow the
programming procedure carried out after EGR sole-
noid valve replacement (see MR Fault Finding for the
vehicle concerned 13B, Diesel injection, Fault fin-
ding - Component replacement).

I - DESCRIPTION
Once the EGR solenoid valve has been removed,
the tool (Mot. 1757) allows it to be controlled in pre-
paration for cleaning.
II - OPERATION
The tool (Mot. 1757) performs the following func-
tions:
- opening the solenoid valve,
- operating the solenoid valve opening/closing cycle.
1 - Connecting the tool
Connect the connector (4) of the tool (Mot. 1757) to
the solenoid valve.
Connect the adapter (3) of the tool (Mot. 1757) to a
power socket.
2 - Solenoid valve control
To open or close the EGR solenoid valve, briefly
press on the button (1).
In the open position (power supplied to the solenoid
valve), the indicator light (2) comes on.
To start the solenoid valve opening/closing cycle,
hold down the button (1) for longer:
- solenoid valve vibrates for 90 s,
- the indicator light (2) flashes.
To interrupt a running cycle, press briefly on the but-
ton (1).

An indicator will sound in case of:
- misconnection of the tool to the solenoid valve,
- solenoid valve short circuit,
- break in the solenoid valve circuit.
