Bypass line of bypass flap
Cause:
The exhaust gas recirculation cooling solenoid valve (Y27/13) may stick in the valve seat and fails to admit the vacuum for the vacuum unit of the bypass flap.
This can cause sooting in the EGR or charge air tract.
Remedy:
Important:
•
Only replace components which do not function as designed due to sooting.
•
Cleaning the components is not permissible.
1.
Check vacuum unit for bypass flap at EGR cooler for leaks (see 01.jpg).
Note: To do this, a vacuum of 600 mbar must be built up at the EGR cooler bypass flap vacuum unit using the
vacuum pump (W 001 589 73 21 00).
Specified values:
- The vacuum must be held for a period of 5 s and may drop by no more than max. 5 mbar.

- If the results deviate from the specified values, the bypass flap vacuum unit must be replaced (see AR14.20D-7661SG).
- If the specified values are met/achieved, continue with the next step.
2.
Perform test of exhaust gas recirculation cooling solenoid valve (Y27/13) using diagnostic system.
Note: Use the diagnostic system for this.
Important: When the exhaust gas recirculation cooling solenoid valve (Y27/13) is actuated, the bypass flap vacuum unit and the linkage should move.
3.
If the linkage of the bypass flap vacuum unit does not move, replace the exhaust gas recirculation cooling solenoid valve (Y27/13).
4.
Connect diagnostic system and read out and erase fault memory (see AD00.00-D-2000-04SD).
5.
If the linkage of the bypass flap vacuum unit moves, check charge air system and exhaust gas recirculation system for leaks.
6.
If there are no leaks, please create a PTS case.
Note: The following information must be included with the PTS case:
Diagnostic data:
- Quick test
- Fault freeze frame data
- Development data diagnosis sheet (DAS) or performance data acquisition (Xentry Diagnostics)
- Test logs: Dynamic EGR test, hot film MAF sensor, intake port shutoff (if present)
Vehicle data:
- Repair history
- Vehicle operating conditions: km/day, freeway/urban/start-stop etc., customer's name
