EGR exhaust gas recirculation / EGR cooler / EGR Valve for MAN TGX
In connection with the increasingly restrictive regulations, the purpose of which is to protect the environment against the emission of harmful substances contained in exhaust gases, EGR exhaust gas recirculators are installed in trucks and commercial vehicles, and even passenger cars. Very often, customers ask us about the availability of EGR recirculators for MAN TGX vehicles. Arcoore offers both new and remanufactured EGR valves for vehicles of this brand. Therefore, in this post, we decided to present both the functionality and operation of this element, as well as information on the commonly used MAN TGX vehicles. We invite you to familiarize yourself with all the necessary information regarding new or regenerated MAN TGX EGR exhaust gas recirculators.
What is the function of the EGR recirculator in MAN TGX vehicles?
The role of the exhaust gas recirculation system is to reduce the content of harmful substances in the exhaust gases generated by the drive units of the MAN TGX vehicles. Among the most harmful compounds that must be reduced in exhaust gases are nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (CH).
Operation of the MAN TGX EGR valve
How does the EGR recirculator reduce the level of harmful substances in the exhaust gases of MAN TGX vehicles? The principle of its operation is to introduce a certain amount of exhaust gases into the combustion chamber . Thanks to their presence, chemical reactions take place, as a result of which the amount of these harmful gases is reduced.
The supply of exhaust gases to the combustion chamber leads to heating of the fuel, thanks to which it evaporates faster. Exhaust gases present in the combustion chamber replace part of the oxygen, which without the use of the EGR recirculator would be there in too high a concentration and thus contribute to the synthesis of harmful gases. Lowering the oxygen content in the combustion chamber therefore reduces the amount of harmful substances formed.
What faults can the MAN TGX EGR recirculator suffer from?
One of the most common causes of EGR valve failure in MAN TGX vehicles is contamination. Their accumulation causes the recirculator controls to become overloaded and unable to ensure proper operation of this element . It is also possible that the exhaust gases will burn the materials that make up the EGR valve. As a result, the part loses its properties and cannot properly perform its functions.
How to prevent exhaust gas recirculation faults?
Extending the service life of the MAN TGX EGR valve is possible, but requires actions that are unfortunately not common among truck users. It’s all about using clean fuel, servicing your vehicle regularly and cleaning the engine of deposits . Since, as we mentioned, these practices are not very common, EGR valve failures happen more often than they might otherwise.
Symptoms of EGR recirculator faults in MAN TGX vehicles
In a properly functioning system, the fault will be signaled by the lighting of the appropriate indicator . However, it can be accompanied by much more serious symptoms, such as:
- reduced engine performance;
- restricted exhaust gas flow to the intake system;
- uneven engine idling;
- difficult engine start at low temperatures;
- lack of smoothness during acceleration.
As these symptoms may also indicate problems with other components in the vehicle, during diagnostics, attention should be paid to the EGR recirculator in the first place . It could turn out that the omission of this element would lead to the replacement of functional parts and expose the vehicle owner to unnecessary costs.

MAN TGX EGR valves at Arcoore
At Arcoore you will find both new and remanufactured EGR valves for MAN TGX vehicles. All parts are fully compatible with the vehicle, and the valves, O-rings and shell-and-tube coolers in the recirculators available at Arcoore are exactly the same as in OEM parts .
You can buy parts by mail order from us without fear, because each element is carefully packed and protected against damage that may occur in transport.
What is EGR MAN TGX regeneration?
Regeneration of EGR exhaust gas recirculators is a process which results in restoring one hundred percent of the functional properties of worn or damaged elements . Comprehensive processing ends with restoring the correct shapes and sizes to the elements, and restoring the materials to all parameters and properties they had after production. Damaged elements in recirculators are most often replaced with new ones. We are talking about such parts as shell and tube coolers, O-rings, gaskets and screws.
All regenerated parts undergo appropriate quality tests. The processes are carried out according to original diagrams and technical drawings by qualified specialists . They use proven solutions and methods that allow you to maintain the high quality of elements and all the properties necessary for proper use.
The great advantage of regenerated EGR recirculators is their attractive price.
About the MAN TGX
The MAN TGX vehicles are the successors of the distinguished models of the TGA series. It is a series of heavy commercial vehicles with two, three or four axles . The MAN TGX series includes:
- truck tractors,
- tippers,
- garbage trucks,
- jacks,
- cement trucks,
- firefighting vehicles,
- and similar commercial vehicles.
The MAN TGX series of vehicles was presented and introduced to the market in 2007 and is still produced today in two factories in Germany, i.e. in Munich and Salzgitter, as well as in Polish Niepołomice.
MAN GTX vehicles come in different models, which are characterized by different sizes of driver’s cabins: XL, XLX and XXL.
Drives used in MAN GTX vehicles
The following drives were used in the vehicles:
- Euro 5 with: 360 hp, 400 hp, 440 hp, 480 hp, 540 hp or 680 hp;
- Euro 5 EFV (environmentally friendly) with 360 hp, 400 hp, 440 hp, 480 hp and 680 hp;
- Euro 6 with power : 440 hp, 480 hp, 520 hp, 560 hp and 640 hp, of which the last three are 6-cylinder units with a capacity of 15.2 l D38.
At Arcoore you will find EGR recirculators for each of the MAN GTX vehicle units.
