    EGR Cleaning, need advice

    So tomorrow, im going to be removing the EGR to see how bad its gummed up, when im getting 400 km per tank, its really hurtin the wallet. Does anyone have some advice on how to clean this? I know to get it off, its 2 12MM bolts (or 14), and a new gasket is required. But im curious on methods of cleaning it out.

    Thanks muchly

      throttle body cleaner works great. although it doesnt get it all off. you might need something a lil abrasive to pull the gunk out of the inside. i know i did. seafoam actually makes a TB cleaner called deepcreep. i think ive seen it at pepboys

      no

          brake cleaner is what me and my friend used on his EGR on his ford ranger. his intake manifold and EGR were so bad i'm surprised he was able to drive it as long as he did. it was almost solid.

              Brake clean or TB cleaner. Not sure on your car but the gasket may rip when you remove it from the intake manifold.

                  hook up a vacuum pump to the line and pressurize. it should open and you're all set.

                    Perfect man, THanks a ton! Im not going to be opening the ports to the manifold, to me thats just riskybuisness since honda is not open today, and i cant get there for a while. So im just going to clean the Valve, and remove what i can from the intake manifold, and let everything go through the motor. im going to try and get a wire brush in there without damaging anything.

                      I would just stay with the TB cleaner. Brake cleaner is a bit harsh on rubber and it can make your EGR diaphram brittle then crack eventually...
