cleaning egr?
« on: 07 June 2010, 08:58:07 »
Does this thing need to be torn apart to clean it (There is a torx screw from the bottom side)? I just poured the pain thinner inside that bottom hole couple of times and left it for 15 minutes like that.
But I'm not sure is this enough?

Paint stripper does appear to be the best way to clean them....
