    Default EGR clean up!

    hi

    following a couple of threads on here, about lack of power at low revs, after cleaning my car i thought i would have a quick look at my EGR valve

    wow what a shock, bearing in mind my car is 56 reg 30k miles on it

    have a look at pics

    cleaned it all out, refitted it all

    started car up, started up easier, it was quieter and it felt like the car was running better

    anyway took car for spinn, 110% better no suuden jolt when turbo kicked in

    cheers chaps

    As for how you get the plug off - lol, well - the yello tag pulls back a bit, then you press in the grey plug and pull... it takes some pulling tho...
