Title: Just cleaned my EGR + Intake - with pics!
Post by: MK3TDi1996 on 02 August 2009, 18:55
As above,

Well worth doing - even though i haven't driven it yet!  Just seeing all the crap that was in there and is now gone is satisfaction enough!

Was all that sh*t inside the inlet manifold, is it the turbo that causes it?

It's just carbon deposits/general crap to the best of my knowledge.

Even if you're not runnin a diesel it's worth doin, take your throttle body off and give it a good 'ol carb cleaning :)

It's the soot from unburnt fuel.  The engine recycling exhaust gases aggravates it, as it's passing shyte from the burnt fuel over the inlet manifold, when it would normally just leave in the exhaust.

Yes and whle it's not super quick (nor did i imagine it to be) It feels a fair bit smoother when accelerating!

That and the knowledge that that crap is out of my intake means i'm a happy bunny :)
