Hi
05 130 Sport Estate 123k. Emissions Workshop warning, seems very likely to be EGR.
In the past I have cleaned up an EGR on a renault van engine i was unlucky enough to own for a while - seemed to work fine.
What experience do ppl have of cleaning up the vw egr valves? Couple of old toothbrushes and some brake cleaner??:biglaugh:
I am planning on popping in a blanking plate in when i strip it out (which i believe is part number 038 131 925) I know you up the NOx emissions - but by such a miserly amount it hardly seems worth killing an EGR over.
Comments and advise welcome
thanks
