@artem_pankovich: Why Diesel Engines Lose Power | Intake Cleaning Part 1. • In this video, I’m working on an Opel Meriva B equipped with the 1.6 CDTi diesel engine. The vehicle arrived with engine performance issues, and the initial inspection quickly revealed one of the most common causes - heavy carbon buildup inside the intake system caused by the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system. • This repair will be presented in two parts. In Part 1, we completely disassemble the intake system, remove the intake manifold, inspect the intake throttle assembly, and examine the intake ports and valves inside the cylinder head. • Once the intake manifold is removed, you’ll see just how much carbon can accumulate over years of driving. Thick deposits inside the manifold and intake ports significantly reduce airflow, affecting combustion efficiency and overall engine performance. • The main reason for this buildup is a combination of the EGR system and modern driving habits. Most vehicles spend their lives in city traffic, making short trips at low engine speeds. The engine rarely reaches full operating load or runs above 2,500 RPM, allowing soot and oil vapors to build up inside the intake system. • Over time, these deposits restrict airflow, disrupt the air-fuel mixture, reduce engine efficiency, increase fuel consumption, and cause rough engine operation. • In this video, I show the complete intake manifold removal process, explain what needs to be removed, and demonstrate the condition of the intake system before cleaning. • We’ll also inspect the intake valves and cylinder head ports to determine the extent of the contamination before moving on to the complete cleaning process in Part 2. • If you’re searching for Opel Meriva 1.6 CDTi intake manifold cleaning, EGR carbon buildup, diesel intake cleaning, intake valve carbon cleaning, or how to clean an intake manifold, this video provides a detailed professional walkthrough. • #supermechanik #artempankovich #carservice #goldenhandsmechanic #CarRepair

Governments want the people to pay a fortune fixing our cars because they want us in EV's.
