is wynns EGR cleaner worth a try?
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2015 7:20 pm
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 is it safe to use, I hear short bursts no more than a second into the airtake is the way to go with most diesel engines will the scirocco tdi bluemotion tech like it ? or am I just pumping a load of loose crap into the engine and potentially causing problems?
failing the above I want to try removing the EGR and giving it a deep clean, how easy / hard is this to remove ? I believe its at the back of the engine, a mechanic said the engine needed to come out and wanted to charge 1000 pounds plus to replace EGR, told him id try other options first, I've not tried to locate EGR as yet but think Ive seen it before not too sure, does anyone have any images?
appreciate any advice anyone may have, thanks again, chris
