EGR Valve
« on: Today at 12:54:38 PM »
Hi all , only a quick one .
Is  it worth cleaning the egr valve now and then as part a regular maintenance routine.
I only ask as it's an easily accessible part.
Cheers

A dirty EGR valve, especially if its stuck open or closed, can increase fuel consumption. If you are able to check it yourself now and again and, if necessary,  clean it yourself ,its probably a good idea.

But maybe not if you have to pay someone to do it for you, or spend a fortune on cleaning sprays etc when it doesn't really need doing.
