Testing EGR
Connect vacuum tester between EGR valve (60) and switchover valve (64b) to vacuum line (white/purple/brown). At idle, with throttle linkage at idle stop, no vacuum should be indi­cated. Advance control linkage until free travel of free travel rod is eliminated (do not pull on stop lever). Vacuum should now amount to 350-500 mbar.
Vacuum nominal value of 350— 500 mbar is attained.
Vacuum nominal value is not attained or exceeded.

Check if orifice is open and blow through, if required.
Change orifice (63)
If the vacuum is not attained or is exceed­ed, install the next larger size orifice, if the vacuum is too high and the next smaller orifice if the vacuum is too low.
If the correct vacuum is not attained by the installation of another orifice, replace vacuum control valve (65).
