Re: is wynns EGR cleaner worth a try?

is wynns EGR cleaner worth a try?

poor performance at low revs intermittant, hesitant intermittant, stalling now and then! rough ride unless I put my foot down then smooth as a baby, I believe the EGR is at fault so a mechanic says, is it worth trying to clean it ? firstly with wynns EGR cleaner, is it any good and most importantly ...

I am sure I can find egr ...

Re: Fitting Parking Sensors

looking at the site the sensors will work alongside RNS systems later than 2010, if you have an earlier model you may need an additional upgrade, I looked for myself and just for rear its £495, but all colour coded and done properly as id want it, so not to bad mate.
