Looked all over the net for an answer to this question I can't find one specifically.
I'm really after a photo guide to help me step-by-step it's not that I'm a retard or anything but a photo step-by-step idiot guide could be great to help not just me but others too. I just want to clean it and replace not remove thanks. Has this been documented on here before or am I the first?. It's more important to concentrate on what's ahead of you than what you have left behind. This is what I keep watching to remind me why I own/keep my Defender. https://youtu.be/x4DZgOcgn1s |

Quite simply Ive been bamboozled with all the for and against, it's obviously on there for a reason and some one was paid a lot of money to research design develop etc and if all the mot laws and regs get any tighter (which in sure they will) I don't want to have to refit it all.
May be im wrong who really knows for sure. I've not had it long so just wanted to give it a check and a clean up.

I may be wrong, but I don't recall ever hearing of the TD5 EGR causing problems (other than taking the edge off performance, of course), it seems to be a pretty reliable unit, so may I ask why you feel the need to clean it?
The TDCi EGR is the complete opposite, and seems to be a highly unsatisfactory unit. Unlike the TD5 it is also difficult to remove physically, requiring software modifications to disable (the TD% can simply be physically removed without software changes). As far as cleaning is concerned, one of the main reasons that many people like to remove the EGR is because having one results in the inlet manifold and cylinder head inlet ports getting very gunged up, and this might be worth cleaning although it would be a big job. To clean the actual EGR valve on a TD5 would be simple - just remove it from the manifold and wipe out the gunge, use something like brake cleaner if a solvent is needed, then refit. |
