I've recently swapped out the EGR and intake manifold in my 2003 ALH. Details are here:
Follow up question on this - Any suggestions/tips on keeping the deposits in the EGR and Intake to minimum accumulation levels? I really don't want to have to swap them again.
Here are some options that I've researched:
1. I've seen youtube videos of TDI owners in the UK spraying Oven Cleaner in their EGR's and running their cars on idle to keep the airways clean . It's a similar process as the "liqui moly diesel intake cleaner". Any members who have used this product? Any feedback?
2. Then there are tdiclub member who do "steam cleaning" by spraying water inside the boost host going into the EGR with the car running on idle .
3. I also read on the "EGR adaption" using VCDS. The members who have done it have posted mixed feedback for that.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks.
