Advice regarding EGR cleaning

Post by Imran »

Howdy all.

58 Plate 2tdi 4mo Saloon. CR 138K mileage, engine code CBAB

Last saturday got an engine stop workshop error come up on the dis, scanned and came up with egr fault. A friend who is a mechanic has taken the egr valve of the car and left it with me, with a question. Ive posted the pics in the thread, got a few questions.

Why are there two parts?? thought the egr valve was just one unit. Secondly can I 'dunk' both parts into a bowl of diesel/carb cleaner and leave it overnight. Im concerned as is my mate about submerging them with the electronics still attached, will it cause any harm to the circuits/electronics being submerged?

To be honest ive seen MUCH worse pics on the net and mine doesnt seem that bad, but mechanic says clean them!
