Use 'GUNK'  Wink there's less chance of setting yourself on fire!  Sad

You can actually get a tin of special EGR cleaning spray! Got some from my local auto factors.

Water based paint stripper is excellent for all fuel related gunge, especially petrol varnish.
Easy to wash out as well  Smile

Mines been sat on the driveway for about a year now, the constant soaking and drying has cleaned it up right nicely.

Well low and behold the egr is actually blanked, done with a metal gasket and ball bearing, wanted to clean it to see if it would clear a hesitation at 60mph and cure the lumpy smokey start on the old girl, I guess I will just keep looking for the problem. :D
