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

[Rudy]

Bryan, On my A1 Jetta I'm able to move the PS Hoses to one side and pull the
Filter out the bottom, it's tight but I think less messy.  Too hard to hold
the hoses out of the way and unscrew it from the top.  Either way you get
quite a bit of Oil on the Hoses, I go the the Car Wash after and clean it up
with detergent.

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
