I picked up a can of this from halfaurds the other day for £10, I gave it a go following the instructions on the tin and the car is a lot more responsive now just wondered if anyone else has tried this

I used one of these, as they are not needed to meet UK emissions,

I've bought a can of this stuff, is it really as easy as it says on the tin? |

I, as many driving the TD6 have bought an EGR Blanking Kit (tube) my came from a BMW kit supplier for £24 and was aircraft grade quality materials and finish, I fitted it with a new Green cotton air filter and changed the crankcase breather filter also, the jobs took about 2 hours but I had encroached into darkness so holding torch added time.

Blanking off the EGR is good, but it's worth putting a dose of EGR cleaner trough it afterwards as the inlet tract will still be bunged up with historic gunk. It's effectively intake cleaner.

Mines a 70000 mile v8 so hopefully it wasn't too bad it certainly made a difference ,as for stripping it down to clean out the inlets that will be a long process and only happen if performance really drops off ,looking at the wiki for replacing the egr it's not a ten minute job |

For the TD6 it's about a 30 - 40 minute job, for the TDV8 I have no idea But I'm sure that if you do some searching on here someone will have posted a how to Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
