Spray EGR Cleaner

Unread post by Thomasbrown »

Hi all,

Bit of a basic question - sorry for my ignorance.

Where exactly do i spray EGR cleaner?

Is the blue circle my air filter housing? So i spray down the pipe circled red?

Citroen dispatch 1.6 Bluehdi XS 2018

Thank you

This video is on a 1.6 HDi C4 but basically the same as your engine. It will show you how to go about it, :)

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

Thank you very much.

I was almost on the the right track. So is that the turbo?

I would be surprised if it worked, I have had various EGR valve's off different engines and sometimes struggle to get all the crap out by hand. I cant see how a spray wizin through would do much... Just my opinion
Thanx to all the admins & knowledgeable people that make this the best forum on the interweb. BUT COME BACK MARC , We miss you! =D> =D> =D>

My thoughts too, especially after having gone through the combustion process.
