EMISSION CONTROL - TD5
17-1-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The EGR valve is a cast and machined assembly which locates on the front end of the inlet manifold assembly. The
machined faces of the EGR assembly and the inlet manifold are attached together using four screws passing through
the four corners of a flange in the EGR assembly to tappings in the front face of the inlet manifold. A gasket is used
to seal the interface between the EGR valve and the front face of the inlet manifold. The gasket should be changed
every time the EGR valve assembly is removed from the air intake manifold.
The intake side of the EGR valve allows the passage of fresh intercooled air through to the inlet manifold via a rubber
hose which is attached to the front face of the EGR valve assembly by a metal band clamp. The bottom port of the
EGR valve is connected to the EGR pipe using a metal band clamp.
A vacuum port on top of the EGR valve connects to the EGR modulator through a blue, small-bore suction hose. When
a vacuum is applied to the EGR valve suction port it causes a spindle with sealing disc (EGR valve) to be raised,
thereby opening the port at the EGR pipe to allow the recirculated exhaust gas to pass through into the inlet manifold.
When the vacuum is removed from the suction port the EGR valve returns to its rest position under the influence of a
spring to tightly close the exhaust gas port. Thus controlled opening of the EGR valve determines the mass of
recirculated exhaust gas allowed to flow through to the inlet manifold.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-1-9
The ILT valve is used on certain exhaust gas recirculation systems in addition to the standard EGR valve described
above. The ILT valve assembly is mounted at right angles to the EGR valve on the left hand side of the EGR valve
assembly. It is fixed to the EGR valve assembly by three screws.
A vacuum port on top of the ILT valve connects to the ILT modulator though a blue, small-bore suction hose. When
a vacuum is applied to the inlet throttle (ILT) valve suction port, a butterfly valve in the inlet manifold closes via a
spindle and lever mechanism, limiting the supply of fresh intercooled air and creating a depression in the intake
manifold which in turn causes a greater suction at the open port to the EGR delivery pipe. When the vacuum source
is removed from the ILT valve suction port, a spring returns the butterfly to its fully open position. The ILT valve and
EGR valve are operated in conjunction to control the proportional masses of fresh intake air and recirculated exhaust
gas that is allowed to flow through to the inlet manifold.
The EGR valve and ILT valve should be replaced as a single assembly.
In-line air filter - Pre EU3 models
1To modulator vent port
2Filter element
3To atmosphere
The in-line air filter is placed in the ventilation line to the EGR modulator (and the ILT modulator where fitted). The
modulators need to be able to vent to atmosphere in order to release the vacuum supplied to the EGR and ILT valves.
The filter prevents contamination entering the modulators via the vent port which could cause failure; the filter should
be periodically changed in accordance with recommended service intervals. The filter is attached to the rear side of
the mounting plate used to hold the vacuum modulators at the inner wing on the RH side of the engine. The filter is
held in position by a clamping bracket which is attached to the mounting plate through a nut and bolt. The filter must
be mounted in the vertical position.
Note: EU3 models are not fitted with an in-line filter, the ventilation line connects directly to the air cleaner housing,
where it vents to atmosphere.

EGR systems
There are two types of exhaust gas recirculation system used with the Td5 engine dependent on legislation and
market requirements, these are type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 EGR system is fitted to all Td5's built up to the introduction of 2002 MY, except for Japanese specification
vehicles.
Type 2 EGR system is fitted to all Japanese specification vehicles and was introduced into European markets for 2002
MY to meet EU3 emission requirements. An additional feature introduced at 2002 MY is the EGR cooler, which is
bolted to the front of the cylinder head.
EGR system - type 1
This EGR system features a single modulator which is electrically controlled to modulate a vacuum source to the EGR
valve. The controlled vacuum opens and closes the valve by the amount required to ensure the optimal proportion of
exhaust gas is allowed through to the inlet manifold to be combined with the fresh air intake. Control feedback is
achieved by monitoring the mass of fresh air flowing through the mass air flow sensor.
The modulator operation is controlled by a signal from the ECM which determines the required amount of EGR
needed in response to inputs relating to air flow and engine operating and ambient conditions. The ECM is low-side
driven, sinking current returned from the vacuum modulator for switching operating condition.
The exhaust gases are routed from the exhaust manifold through a shaped metal pipe which connects to the
underside of the EGR valve. The pipe is held securely in position to the front of the cylinder head using a clamp
bracket. The EGR pipe is attached to a mating port at the front end of the exhaust manifold using two Allen screws
and at the EGR valve assembly by a metal band clamp. The two Allen screws fixing the EGR pipe to the exhaust
manifold should be replaced every time the EGR pipe is removed. Extreme care should be exercised when
removing and refitting the EGR pipe to avoid damage.
When a vacuum is applied to the EGR suction port, it causes a spindle with sealing disc (EGR valve) to be raised,
thus opening the port at the EGR pipe to allow the recirculated exhaust gas to pass through into the inlet manifold.
The valve is spring loaded so that when the vacuum is removed from the suction port the valve returns to its rest
position to tightly close the exhaust gas port.
By controlling the quantity of recirculated exhaust gas available in the inlet manifold, the optimum mix for the prevailing
engine operating conditions can be maintained, which ensures the intake gas to the combustion chambers will have
burning rate properties which will reduce the NO
x emissions to an acceptable level. Normally, full recirculation is only
applicable when the NO
x emissions are most prevalent.
EGR system - type 2
This system features twin modulators mounted one above the other on a metal plate located on the inner wing at the
RH side of the engine. The modulators are electrically controlled by the engine management system and are used to
modulate a vacuum source to the EGR valve and a supplementary Inlet Throttle (ILT) valve; the two valves are
controlled to operate in tandem. The ILT valve vacuum pot is mounted adjacent to the EGR valve housing and has a
linkage which connects to a butterfly valve mounted in front of the EGR valve at the air intake manifold.
The modulator operations are electrically controlled by signals from the engine management system which
determines the required volume of exhaust gas needed in response to inputs relating to air flow, engine operating
conditions and ambient parameters such as temperature and altitude. The engine management ECM switches on the
circuit by completing the path to ground, operating the vacuum modulators.
Pre EU3 models: The exhaust gases are routed from the exhaust manifold through a shaped metal pipe which
connects to the underside of the EGR valve. The pipe is held securely in position to the front of the engine cylinder
head using a metal clamp bracket. The EGR pipe is attached to a mating port at the front end of the exhaust manifold
using two Allen screws and at the EGR valve assembly by a metal band clamp. The two Allen screws fixing the EGR
pipe to the exhaust manifold should be replaced every time the EGR pipe is removed. Extreme care should be
exercised when removing and refitting the EGR pipe to avoid damage.

EMISSION CONTROL - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-1-11
EU3 models: The exhaust gases are routed from the exhaust manifold through the EGR cooler to the underside of
the EGR valve. The EGR cooler is bolted to the front of the engine cylinder head. An EGR pipe connects the EGR
cooler to the exhaust manifold and is secured by two Allen screws. The two Allen screws fixing the EGR pipe to the
exhaust manifold should be replaced every time the EGR pipe is removed. A second pipe connects the EGR cooler
to the EGR valve; this pipe is secured to the EGR valve by a clip, and to the cooler by two Allen screws.Extreme care
should be exercised when removing and refitting the EGR pipe to avoid damage. When refitting the EGR
cooler, always tighten the pipe connections BEFORE tightening the bolts securing the cooler to the cylinder
head.
When a vacuum is applied to the EGR suction port, it causes a spindle with sealing disc (EGR valve) to be raised,
opening the port at the EGR pipe to allow the recirculated exhaust gas to pass through into the inlet manifold. The
valve is spring loaded so that when the vacuum is removed from the suction port, the valve returns to its rest position
to tightly close the exhaust gas port.
A vacuum is simultaneously applied to the inlet throttle (ILT) valve suction port which causes the butterfly valve in the
inlet manifold to close by means of a spindle and lever mechanism. Closing the butterfly valve limits the supply of
fresh intercooled air entering the inlet manifold and causes a depression within the inlet manifold to create a greater
suction at the open port to the EGR delivery pipe. In this condition a greater mass of recirculated exhaust gas is drawn
into the inlet manifold for use in the combustion process. When the vacuum is released from the ILT valve suction port
a spring returns the butterfly valve to its fully open position.
By controlling the quantities of recirculated exhaust gas and fresh intake air available in the inlet manifold, the
optimum mix for the prevailing engine operating conditions can be maintained which ensures the intake gas to the
combustion chambers will have burning rate properties which will reduce the NO
x emissions to an acceptable level.
Normally, full recirculation is only applicable when the NO
x emissions are most prevalent.
