OVERVIEW
Crankcase Ventilation System
To prevent the build-up of gases in the engine's crankcase, the crankcase gases are drawn into the oil separator
where oil particles are removed from the gases. The oil is then drained down to the engine's oil pan and the
gases are directed into the engine's air intake system.
Prior to the oil-free gases entering the air intake system, a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve operates to
minimize crankcase pressure variations caused by engine air demand and engine operating conditions.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System
Harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) a constituent of the exhaust gases, are formed by the reaction between oxygen
and nitrogen at high temperatures. Reducing the engine's combustion temperature and therefore the amount of
NOx produced is achieved by recirculating a proportion of the exhaust gases. The recirculated exhaust gases
replace some of the engine's intake air as this reduces the oxygen content within the cylinders and lowers the
peak combustion temperature by several hundred degrees.
To reduce the temperature as well as increase the density of the inducted fuel charge, the recirculated exhaust
gases are passed through the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler. The EGR cooler utilizes coolant from the
engine cooling system to reduce the exhaust gas temperature. Exhaust gases entering the EGR cooler reach
temperatures of approximately 500C; the EGR cooler lowers the temperature of the gases, to 250-300C before
they exit the cooler.
SYSTEM OPERATION
CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM OPERATION
Crankcase gasses are drawn into the oil separator unit from the crankcase and the oil pan by a vacuum created
by a connection into the air induction system.
The crankcase gasses are circulated around the oil separator and through the camshaft cover where the gas and
oil are separated. The gas is returned to the inlet side of the air induction system prior to the turbocharger. The
collected oil is drained down to the sump.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
An electrically actuated valve, mounted on the outlet side of the EGR cooler and controlled by the engine
control module (ECM), regulates the amount of exhaust gases recirculated into the air intake system. The ECM
uses signals from various engine sensors and calculates a response based on the embedded software algorithm
to control exhaust gas recirculation. The ECM transmits this control signal to the valve's actuator, which is closed-
loop controlled with the mass air flow (MAF) sensor providing the feedback to the ECM.

7 Coolant outlet connection

9 Valve housing
10 EGR outlet tube connection
11 Electrical connector
The EGR valve and cooler assembly is located on the RH side of the cylinder head above the exhaust manifold,
and secured with 4 fixings. An inlet pipe connects the EGR cooler to the exhaust manifold. A gas transfer tube is
routed across the engine and connects the EGR valve outlet to the intake manifold housing.
A pipe on the EGR cooler body connects to the climate control heater outlet hose, and provides the coolant
supply to the EGR cooler. The EGR cooler outlet connects to the coolant rail, located on the RH side of the
[Link] 4/6

engine. The coolant rail is connected between the thermal control module and the coolant pump rear housing.
For additional information, refer to: Engine Cooling (303-03A Engine Cooling - GTDi 2.0L Petrol, Description and
Operation).
The EGR is controlled by the ECM, and is enabled when the engine meets the correct operating temperatures
and under cruising conditions.
EGR COOLER BYPASS VALVE
The EGR valve housing contains a cooler bypass valve, which either allows the exhaust gasses to flow direct to
the electric throttle or diverts them through the EGR cooler.
A vacuum actuator is located on a bracket attached to the EGR cooler to operate the cooler bypass valve. The
actuator receives a vacuum which is produced by the vacuum pump located at the rear of the engine. The
vacuum actuator is connected to the bypass valve by an actuator rod.
The vacuum supply to the actuator is controlled by the ECM. When bypass control is required, the ECM
energizes a cooler bypass valve solenoid, which applies vacuum to the vacuum actuator. The vacuum causes the
actuator to move the connecting rod in a linear direction. The linear movement of the rod is transferred to rotary
movement of the cooler bypass valve within the valve housing.
Cooler Bypass Valve Closed
When the cooler bypass valve is closed, exhaust gasses are directed through the cooler before being passed to
the electric throttle.
Cooler By-Pass Valve Open
[Link] 5/6
7/6/22, 7:32 AM [Link]
When the cooler bypass valve is open, exhaust gasses are passed directly through the valve housing into the
electric throttle with no cooling applied to the gasses.
OIL SEPARATOR
The crankcase ventilation oil separator is also connected to the oil filler tube, located at the rear LH side of the
engine. Oil for replenishing the system passes through the oil separator and return hose, and into the oil pan. An
oil baffle plate is installed in the oil pan housing to reduce oil aeration and splash.
