Default Cleaning your Diesel EGR

If you need to clean it while it is out, there is a gasket that is metal. You can reuse it and use Hylomar Blue gasket sealant. This EGR was replace 1/2020 and like 20k miles.

Well, it wasn't that clogged to make a difference. She's still apart due to the leaks.

As "sooty" as all these dieselgate parts quickly get, it really doesn't impair function

Neither does throwing them out
