[Vwdiesel] A2 1992 Jetta, ERG valve, what does this actually do?

[Bryan Belman]

I found some time to spend on the Eco Diesel last night.  I did the 1/4 turn on the head bolts, and yes, I am ordering the bolts from Summit racing today......for the 1.9td.
I hope this will stop my minor coolant disappearance issue.
New air filter, finally put on my timing belt cover.
I took the hoses off and cleaned them.  I took the EGR valve out, has 2 wires going to it, but the inside just seems to be a copper band.  This is taking crank case blow-by and putting it back into the inlet of the turbo.

So, does this think just short out the two wires (which are not heavy guage) and get hot to help burn the vapors?

And, when taking the oil filter out, is it best to move the Power Steering hoses and of the way and take it out the bottom or tilt it, spill oil all over, and try and take it out the top of the motor.  Talk about a tough spot to get an oil filter off....
I have not found the best method but only did this job 2 times now.

Thanks, Bryan
