Just been having a look at the guide and also the many many threads relating to EGR's. but was wondering if anyone could help with a few questions!
1) How often would you recommend cleaning an EGR valve if your not getting any dashboard lights coming on? My cars a 56 plate with 60k on clock, cant ever imagined its been cleaned before.
2) How long would it roughly take to take off, clean and then replace?
3) As long as the negative is disconnected, are there any other ways of causing damage to the car/egr if sticking to the guide? (Basically, whats the risk of causing damage to anything if sticking to the guide?)
4) Whats the best fluid to clean the EGR with? Ive seen people mention carb cleaner/ brake cleaner. Is that this? >> Brake / Carb
5) Ive head people mention installing a swirl gasket at the same time as cleaning the EGR. Is this expensive, difficult, time consuming and where would I get a swirl gasket from? Looked on ebay and couldnt see anything!
