Ok well I didnt go as far as removing the whole EGR valve as that involves new gaskets I think plus

undoing a few bolts that were so tight I nearly rounded one off with a torque wrench! Need a

proper hex socket rather than the spline ones. I will update this thread when I get the chance to

fully remove it...

Engine off. EGR valve unplugged. Undo the 4 screw on the top of the valve (you'll where it's located

in the next two pics):

Pic.2

When you lift off the top plastic motor that controls the valve this is what you'll see:

Pic.3

Then when you take off the metal block it's this:

Pic.4

Basically what I did was get a cloth and lots of clutch cleaner and sprayed it everywhere in the

valve. Puching the valve up and down via the circle of metal on a spring in the last pic there. Be

carefull when reassembling that the metal hooks (pic.3) fix correctly over the disc in pic.4.

Inlet Manifold Cleaning & underside of EGR valve

The way to get to the underside without removing the whole thing is to use Wynns Aerosol EGR

cleaner. It cleans the inside of the intake manifold too which can get very caked up with soot and

gunk from the exhuast getting pumped through.

Here's what it can look like without cleaning

and I'd imagine the EGR valve can get equally caked

up. To use the spray download the instructions on Wynns website. Aerosol cans go for about £6

and are well worth it.

Labdien!
