VW EGR cleaning

Postby 1STGENFARMBOY » Sun Mar 06, 2011 7:13 am

2003 TDI Jetta 87,000 miles.....I did this along with a timming belt, water pump, all the pullys, intake cleaning, valve cover gasket.

can't tell if it helped mpg's or not havent driven far enough yet.
it helped mid range some, starts quicker, smokes less.

I hate to see what my Duramax looks like with almost 300k on it.

No siht, isn't it funny what you find when you start cleaning? :lol: I think VW's are known for plugging that tube. IIRC, there is one that goes to the intake that plugs too. I think it's about a 1/2 inch tube.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

Reminds me when I pulled the heads off of a GM 4.3L V6 that was in a Chevy Celebrity sedan (was an option for 2yrs in ~82-83 or 83-84). Forgot about that and got a bunch of black snot on my hands grabbing them.
