    Default Cleaned the EGR and boost sensor today!!!

    Well i never had any probs with warnin lights or limp mode, but thought i would have a look any way as my car has 103000 on the clock.....To be honest the EGR was ok, both pins movin freely, but cleaned anyway...........The boost sensor , OMG totaly blocked up.......so gave it a good clean..Didnt think it would make very much differance but WOW the car is so much smoother and resposive...Glad i followed the how 2s they brill.....

    I cleaned mine yesterday @ 46k miles & there is more improvement from that alone than there was from changing the complete manifold/egr - well worth it - Fiat egr mod next!!

    It's not good - you'd think the garage would've given it a clean when they swapped it to the new manifold less than a 1000 miles ago & 30k miles continuous use of Millers Power Sport 4 hasn't done it much good either
