remove EGR where is it ?

[Paris]

Bonjour à tous
Je voulais retirer la vanne EGR sur ma Seat Ateca 1.6L Tdi 2017, ce moteur est commun à de nombreux modèles Seat et VW.
mon moteur est DDYA, je ne sais pas où se trouve la vanne EGR, je n'ai pas trouvé de tuto sur youtube pour ce moteur
cependant il y en a beaucoup sur d'autres moteurs vw.

merci

I would not risk to be honest, I would rather turn to a specialist...

Hello
I was just thinking that the forum is a help between participants and I thought I would receive some information.
technical information (documentation on the EGR valve) on this engine
where is it located? disassembly?
the rest, I manage alone.

As far as I am aware the EGR valve is situated to the rear of engine low down in a location that is difficult to access easily, I left it’s removal to the pros who had done it before.

ha , ok , I thought the EGR was in front of the engine on this DDY engine , if behind the engine , I give up.
thanks

Just removed one on a 1.2tdi, similar engine but 3cylinders so more space. If turbo is at back of engine then egr was front right. Approx 1/3 from top. Look for aluminium pipe approx 20mm. Needs a Torx 30 (approx) to remove the pipe from engine block ^ direction and inlet < direction. But I haven't seen a 1.6tdi engine..

Hello
on the 1.6L Tdi EGR is well behind the engine, a horror!
all the videos seen on youtuble confirm it!
very sincerely, if I had had this information before buying this vehicle, I would never have bought it!

Shame, that front location on 1.2tdi, it came be removed in minutes. Air cleaner takes longer. I am same with this 1.2tdi, it has a problem if I knew it was burning oil... I would never buy it ??

Don't worry about your egr valve! and don't believe all you read on EGR deletes! They are quite reliable and have some benefits
