Cleaned mine a while ago, no difference at all.  I don't think it's worth removing unless you have a code up for the EGR.  It's a bit fiddly to get out and must have dropped the nuts a thousand times before getting it back together.

Yep and cleaning the throttle body will make a difference.  Make sure you get the breather jet that is screwed into the inlet manifold.  It corrodes badly and blocks.  :y

Had the entire throttle body off about 2 years ago, time i cleaned it again.

I usually clean that one with every oil change, just pop it off and blow air through it, but be good to get at it from the other side.

First time i cleaned it i was amazed, mad a massive difference!
