EGR etc.

[CGB]

HELLO EVERYBODY,
JUST OUT OF INTEREST AND FOR INFO, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WYNNS PRODUCTS HAVE NOW BROUGHT OUT AN AEROSOL CLEANER CALLED DIESEL EGR 3. PRICED AT £9.90. IT'S APPLICATION IS FOR CLEANING THE EGR VALVE , TURBO AND INLET SYSTEM OF DIESEL ENGINES . I HAVE GIVEN IT A TRY AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE DONE WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN AND HAD THE DESIRED EFFECT OF IMPROVING THE RUNNING AND MAKING THE MOTOR SWEETER. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD MENTION IT. REGARDS, CHRIS.

Hi Chris,
did you remove the egr and clean it, or just spray in via the air intake?

Hello Graham,
I decided to just take out the air filter element and then spray into the intakes. this seemed to work well and did the job ok.

Hi all,

I am considering changing the EGR valve (and intercooler hose) on my xtype 2.d - 2006.

I find all kind of prices on the web from £29 to £300 +

I looked at ebay and other suppliers - some are cheap chinese suppliers and I would prefer to source nationally or EU at a good price.

- can anyone recommend a reliable provider with fair prices ?

- some of the EGR valves are sold with electric connectors and some w/o and I will probably have local kwikfit to replace it: should I buy with or without electric connectors ?

I appreciate any tip you can give me
Thanks a lot

Try Eurojag, got a refurbished one from them for £60 for my X350, worked fine. Don't go for a cheapo import, false economy, but don't go for new either, not necessary.

Thanks Andy for the info I'll take a look at Eurojag.
