D19 - S40/V40 to 2004 - S/V40 1.9D Shut-off throttle & EGR valve

Spotted some traces of oil around the fuse box and wondered where it might be coming from...?

T40 needed to remove the engine cover.

I had suspected it was coming from the EGR valve but, after removing the engine cover, I discovered the area around the shut-off throttle was wet with oil so I figured a new seal or gasket was in need

Hard to see in the picture but that's actually wet with oil

Three 10mm studs and it's off, cleaned and ready for new seal

Over time oil has seeped down and collected to the rear of the inlet manifold

Old vs new

Mine wasn't too bad but, if you've ever wondered why the top of the manifold on these engines gets so wet, I believe here's the answer

I also gave the EGR valve a clean while I was in there and, although not really needed, put on a new gasket.
My light was fading fast so apologies for no pics if the inner side of the EGR valve. Luckily for me the previous owner kept it cleaned so it wasn't too much trouble. I have noticed quicker/better throttle response with the little clean I gave it...either that or it's the placebo effect

Someone stamped a Renault sign into my valve

All back together nice and dry

Lets hope it stays that way

Whilst cleaning and connecting up the EGR valve I spotted something that caught my attention

What's that doing in my Volvo?

Hope this helps...
