Two things Oil dipstick and EGR Vale.

[godsANGER]

oks was having a clean under the bonnet and noticed that the EGR Vale had a lot of oil round it,



Going to clean it soon just want to know would it be best to clean inside the black pipe going down the (i think it goes) the intercooler also would it be best to clean out the intercooler at the same time? Also would you recommend replacing any part i.e gasket, seals if so do you know part numbers and prices, if so is there a guide to removing and cleaning the Intercooler?

Also me being heavily handed again i snapped the piece off the dipstick pipe  think i had already been glued at some point



is that the part number 038 103 663 ?

EGR looks like its leaking somewhere. Take it off, clean it up and replace that rubber o-ring.

from what I ve read its seams quite a simple task taking off and cleaning the EGR, I am i right ?

Correct. Messy job and the third bolt can be a pain to get at.

Think ill get it done after work sometime this week. Going to replace to round seal and the two spring clips at the top just so i know there solid.
Should i clean the pipe also or at least wash it out?

Wouldn’t know about the intercooler how to clean it etc.

Thanks

Get some carb cleaner or brake cleaner to clean them out.

Forgot to ask, when cleaning the EGR is there anything i need to keep dry or away from my carb cleaner when cleaning it or can i just go mad with it ? and rinse it out etc?
