Or just remove the EGR and clean the passages with long steel bottle brushes. The long ones they use to clean passages in auto trans shops. |

Go to Harbor Freight, they have a tool pack there with "bottle" wire brushes. Comes with brass, steel, and nylon I believe. Its like $8. I use it for cleaning out threaded holes and passageways. Works even better if you do it was some Carb cleaner or oven cleaner. Then rinse it out. |

If you are looking for a source of brushes... Head on over to the local gun shop... Get a brush used to clean 1911 pistols.... It's generally a brass bristle brush about 1/2" diameter and like 6 or 8" long... works like a charm... Cost is cheap... Thanks |
