Cleaning the EGR and Inlet on a GT

[Transporter]

Using good fuel additive could help. Since you have the DPF try Wynns Diesel Power 3, Diesel Clean 3. Wynn's Belgium bvba

The Diesel Power 3 looks very promising on the paper, I will pick up the box next week and give it a go.

I went to see the Wynn's people at Melsrose Pk. today and of course they didn't have it and it won't be coming to Australia. Instead, I was offered something else, which I politely refused, since it was only diesel purge + ordinary tank additive (you can buy LiquiMoly for fraction of the cost).

I expected a bit more knowhow from the people running the Wynn's warehouse in SA.

Great Job done,top stuff!

Thanks Greg, you are getting high EGtemps but then you do have a GT and probably drive it for a bit of fun. Ours is commuter transport only in speed limited areas in the main. If it were on high boost for more than 20 seconds you'd be on the brakes or looking for the radar car. Think I'll wait until someone else tries it and in the meantime wait a couple more years and do another clean.

Yep, to be fair that was a max effort up a very steep hill and into naughty speeds out in the sticks. I see nothing like that day to day, but you need only hit "too hot" for a brief period and things melt. It's a risk, not a rule.

Finally I cleaned my EGR bits. It's been two years (35K km) since I had both valve and flap section replaced. The flap motor wasn't too bad and it took me less than an hour to clean, but the valve again was very dirty. So spent three cans of degreaser and less than 4 hours all together. I didn't go for manifold part. Now I feel very happy as perhaps saved another $1,5K. For the last two years I used only BP diesel mostly from two stations and it was still very dirty, but this time the soot wasn't "cooked" it was rather slightly oily, perhaps it's due to additives, not sure.

Maybe it's the time to fit the Provent.

I am waiting for a Provent kit..

..and the only problem is an easy place to mount it in the TDI with the stock airbox, there's not much easily accessable room!

I have almost all the other parts of the puzzle sorted, but it may end up having to go beneath the airbox which isn't a simple bolt on kit for your average joe.

I realise this is taking a while, but I can confirm there are several test pilots out there now with various cars and catch cans, and all manner of bracket prototypes!

Which is why I'm happy my Carbonio Intake system is on its way!!!

Well, i finaly took the plunge with 2005 Golf TDi. Its got 131,000k on it so im guessing it may need the intake cleaning! If i was to be lazy, who would you say is best to take it to to get poyta's cleaning job done? The vehicle inspection guy i used before buying the car said he'd done a decarbonisation and inject clean recently and would charge $400, which is a bit steep!
