Exhaust gas recirculation

With exhaust gas recirculation, part of the exhaust gas is take from behind the exhaust manifold. This is then fed back into the engine through the intake air duct. The exhaust gas recirculation pipe is located at the inlet to the intake manifold. If a vacuum is applied to the exhaust gas recirculation valve, the exhaust gas recirculation pipe will open. The level of vacuum is determined by the opening in the exhaust gas recirculation valve.

Exhaust gases flow through a connecting pipe to the exhaust manifold and into the intake manifold.
