Renault Clio: Exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve: Removal - Refitting

K9K, and 764 or 766 or 768

REMOVAL

I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION

• Position the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle: Towing and lifting) (MR 392, 02A, Lifting equipment).
• Disconnect the battery (see Battery: Removal - Refitting) (MR 392, 80A, Battery).
• Remove:
  • the engine undertray,
  • the scuttle panel grille (see Scuttle panel grille: Removal - Refitting) (MR 393, 56A, Exterior equipment).

K9K, and 766 or 768

• Remove the air duct (1) between the intercooler and the turbocharger.

K9K, and 764

• Remove the air duct (2) between the intercooler and the turbocharger.
• Disconnect the oil vapour rebreathing pipe at (3) and move it aside.

II - REMOVAL OF PART CONCERNED

• Disconnect the connector (4) from the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve.
• Remove:
  • the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve mounting bolts (5),
  • the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve, using the tool (Mot. 1729),
  • the seal of the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve.

Note: During removal of the solenoid valve using the (Mot. 1729), proceed slowly until the solenoid valve is loosened from its support to remove it.

REFITTING

I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION

• Always replace the seal of the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve.

II - REFITTING PART CONCERNED

• Offer up the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve with a new seal.
• Torque tighten the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve mounting bolts (10 N.m).

III - FINAL OPERATION

K9K, and 764

• Reconnect the oil vapour rebreathing pipe.

• Loosen the mounting nut of the air pipe at the intercooler inlet on the alternator.
• Fit the air duct between the turbocharger and the intercooler air inlet pipe.
• Lock the air duct onto the turbocharger and the intercooler inlet air pipe.
• Tighten the bolt of the air duct on the rocker cover.
• Torque tighten the nut mounting the intercooler air inlet pipe on the alternator (8 N.m).
• Connect the battery (see Battery: Removal - Refitting) (MR 392, 80A, Battery).

Note: If replacing the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve, perform the necessary programming (see MR394, Section 13B, Fault finding - Replacement of components).

• Before restarting the engine, use the Diagnostic tool to clear any faults stored by the injection computer.

REMOVAL

I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION

• Disconnect the battery (see Battery: Removal - Refitting) (MR 392, 80A, Battery).

II - OPERATION FOR REMOVAL OF PART CONCERNED

• Disconnect the connector (1) from the EGR solenoid valve.
• Remove:
  • the nuts (2) from the strut on the EGR solenoid valve,
  • the strut (3) on the EGR solenoid valve,
  • the bolt from the EGR solenoid valve heat shield,
  • the heat shield (4) from the EGR solenoid valve,
  • the EGR solenoid valve,
  • the seal between the EGR solenoid valve and the EGR solenoid valve mounting.

Note: Clean the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve if it is reinitialised (see Exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve: Cleaning) (Technical Note 3916A, 14A, Emission control).

REFITTING

I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION

• Always replace the seal between the EGR solenoid valve and the EGR solenoid valve mounting.

II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART CONCERNED

• Refit the EGR solenoid valve studs, if necessary.
• Torque tighten the EGR solenoid valve studs (4 N.m), if necessary.
• Refit:
  • the seal between the EGR solenoid valve and the EGR solenoid valve mounting,
  • the EGR solenoid valve,
  • the EGR solenoid valve heat shield,
  • the bolt from the EGR solenoid valve heat shield,
  • the strut on the EGR solenoid valve,
  • the nuts from the strut on the EGR solenoid valve,
• Torque tighten:
  • the EGR solenoid valve heat shield bolt (12 N.m),
  • the nuts for the strut on the EGR solenoid valve (12 N.m).
• Connect the EGR solenoid valve connector.

III - FINAL OPERATION

• Connect the battery (see Battery: Removal - Refitting) (MR 392, 80A, Battery).

Note: If replacing the exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve, perform the necessary programming (see MR394, Section 13B, Fault finding - Replacement of components).
