EGR and water pump replacement video
Really like of how much depth he goes into each video

I was sure it was you on the comments there . I just wrote saying that for sure, soon this video was going to be here.
Very helpful indeed, but I hope I never need it.

Must admit it’s the first video I’ve seen showing the EGRs cleaning program

Very much true. I only saw that EGR operation in real life (e.g. mine)
In fact D3 does that when you start and when you turn off the engine. I thought it was more like a self-test or self-check rather than 'cleaning' cycle.
What was about that comment on the diff breather? I think i missed that part on the video.
Was it referred to that little black pipe "attached" to the side of FBH? Which part of the video it is showed? I recently reattached mine too (the new curved version) so I am curious to see what they did.

Must admit heard the EGRs when the engine was on and then off but didn’t know what they actually did
Soon after I bought mine I learnt that my turbo actuator didn’t move the turbo actuator arm as part of an anti jam cycle , so added that with a software patch via my gap iid
Noticed a blue type valve fitted to his front axle breather pipe, when I done mine I cut off the old breather , fitted a pushfit coupling and ran some tubing across the front scuttle panel on top of the fan cowl and installed the upgraded axle breather by the Aux battery position so was well out the way
Know it was abit of an overkill but had some plastic pipe left over for when I done my suspension lines so thought why not
Hope that helps

I suspect startup movement is the test
And shutdown movement is anti jam

That was a nice work. I admit it would be a bit too much for my case, but nice to see. I also asked Christian and Vera what exactly is that, and why they did it (if it was after Fabian's diff overpressure from last video)

Spot on I believe.
What I also know is you have any fault during the check, the whole EGR system is set default to 'closed' and do not operate until engine is restated. A good way to check for leaks, unplug one valve, or the throttle and drive normally.
I still need to check my turbo actuator but I am very lazy these days to start dismantling the side of the car to reach to each. (also don't have a long coat hanger as I have seeing somewhere) I wish there was a simpler way of test/check/move that actuator.
