Default EGR Valve Cleaning Questions

I have never done this procedure before. Anything I should specifically do while doing this, like pouring Seafoam down the passages or something like that?

The lounge is fun today..

Here'* one that I think will help. Get a gasket before you start and make sure the engine is cooled down.

Techinfo was the first place I looked and could not find anything on the subject. Even a forum search.

DOH!, thanks for the info. It would be nice though if the authors of their own threads would modify their subject from "OMG I NEED HELP HERES PICS" to "Problem fixed, how to clean EGR". Or mayby im just being a whiny bitch, in which case im sorry. But thanks for the info.

You can't expect an instant response every time. People may read your topic and choose not to reply because the aren't comfortable dishing out advice in the topic. Have patience when awaiting a reply.

Yeah, sorry about not getting to ya on this one. I WAS too busy goofing off in the lounge today, I'll admit.

As far as thread tiltes go, I'll agree with you there and try to suggest new titles when I think of it. I'm constantly using search and have found that, using the right search parameters helps me a lot, even when the titles don't. Takes some practice.

lmfao Bill, that is funny. You need to tell em, to make sure he unplugs the battery first or he'll set off a bad code on the ECU if he unplugs the Digital EGR without unpluggin the battery - lol

You know your better off buying a new EGR instead of cleaning it. They're not much at all and it will benefit you to have a new EGR instead of that ole 160,000 mile one you want to clean up. - lmao
