N18 valve location

Featured Replies

Help required on my vrs please 1.9tdi asz code. 
I have the engine management light on the dashboard, had it scanned gave a code 19586/P3130/012592 - EGR System: Regulation Range Exceeded 

i have changed the egr valve as per Ross tech who also say change the n18 valve but I can’t find it for looking, anyone point me in the right direction 

 

cheers Paul 

Would seem a little presumptuous to just change parts without diagnosing if they are faulty.

 

Was the original EGR valve not holding vacuum? Stuck? Clogged?

Hi thanks for the reply does the vrs have item 10 solenoid as on the first schematic ? i have changed the egr valve and cleaned it so like new, diaphragm seems ok. Also changed the vacuum box but still have a management light on. 

No change in power pulls well but i do have a high pitched whistle at tickover  which wasnt there before the light came on

 

Cheers Paul

No, that's only for engine code ATD, which is the non-vRS 1.9 tdi.

Carefully examine all the pipes coming from the vacuum box, looking for cracks and leaks. Also check for broken wires near the electrical connector to the vac box. Disconnect that connector and check for corrosion on contacts.

That's about all I can think of just now. 

Please let us know if/when you track down the cause. 🙂

Had a good look round the pipe work today nothing looks wrong, all vacuum tight, changed the vacuum box, cleaned the egr again, good vacuum at the actuator which is free moving. 
Just completed 350 miles pottering around Yorkshire averaged 55 to the gallon with no loss in power so going to ignore it for now and see what happens. 
 

cheers Paul
