Just used it on my Golf PD and took before and after shots of the valve. It made a hell of a difference in terms of cleaning it. Seems to have done the job. I bought it off the back of this video so thank you 👍
@@jordanjjn I sprayed it direct into the EGR valve. Tbh, since then I’ve unbolted it and cleaned it right out. It’s easy to take off. This stuff would probably be good for maintenance to prevent it getting so bad again.
Diesels are not City cars. If you want to run local, buy a petrol or electric. Diesels need long journeys (40mibs x per wk) and to be driven like you have stolen it.. you cannot believe the problems diesels have EGR, DPFs etc etc… costs a smsll fortune to maintain, or become a mechanic instead… ps great video.. like the experiment👍🏻
egr cleaners do work ,but you need the right cleaner ,the one that has a long tube attachment that goes right into the egr will do a fantastic job ,,my egr got totally clogged and put the car into limp mode on a 1000 mile journey ,one can of egr with the tube and ten minutes road side spraying job done ,ran perfect ever since ,,
Sure, maybe you got your car out of limp mode, but how sure are you that you egr work and close probably? If you ever separated an egr valve and cleaned it, then you will know that any spray will never be enough if you want to do it properly. even if you disassemble it, it is not even always possible to make it work properly
You need the plastic straw like spout you push onto the can so you can spray it into the intake I used it. Must have worked because my engine light went off bmw 525d f10 But you must be careful. The product I used came with a straw which you push onto the spray button. but it shot out into my air intake! Luckily I think it must have melted away I'm sure wynns have that straw/spout which I'd didnt look like you had Went to euro carparts to get another one but as I was leaving the store I noticed the straw was missing! I dont get much luck with these things!
Thanks! I won't bother spending the £8. In my case, the EGR is integral with the inlet manifold and its a huge job to get at it & clean / change it (2004 Focus Mk1 TDCi); but if an Italian tune doesn't sort it I'll just have to bite the bullet.
I think I've replaced one on a transit connect and it was rather expensive if my memory is correct. I'd like to find an effective cleaner as in theory it is a good idea. Hopefully you get sorted without reaching too deep into your pocket.
If you put the bottle of spray closer to the intake it will take more of, I've watched only videos saying the Italian tune doesn't work at all, there's other clears out there as well
Why not just take it off and clean with brake cleaner / Mr Muscle with old tooth brush. The spray might clean some of the pipes, but, that valve will not move correctly and will need a bit more elbow grease. Mine EGR is so bad, i have a spare which i exchange every 6 months…
How much more direct would you like it to be? If I had applied it the way the instructions recommend it would be even further away (they say to apply it at the air filter.) Also, not all EGR valves are as accessable as this one so if a particular vehicle has to apply according to the instructions my video would probably give false results. The product will be more concentrated when sprayed directly into the EGR when compared with at the air filter housing.
@@Papa77sGarage I'd disconnected the MAF sensor to avoid EGR operation during the clean. Then, I'd warmed up the engine and had removed the flexible pipe before the EGR valve. Finally, I'd applied the product directly in front of the EGR valve. I know this is something you cannot do in every car (because of the EGR location), but do it in the cars you can and share the results with us!
@@Papa77sGarage You're right, disconnecting the MAF is not mentioned in the user instruction. However, they are made for non proficient users (a non proficient user doesn't know what a MAF is or where it is located), a skilled user would disconnect the MAF. Why? because, as you know the EGR is opening and closing all the time, when you apply the product you're sending soot into the combustion chamber and this soot will be returning to the intake manifold by the EGR, so that means that you're getting dirt the EGR at the same time you're cleaning it. C'mon, try like this and you'll see very different results, you won't break any engine if you apply the product carefully and gently. Alternatively, you can remove the EGR from the engine, apply the product and brush the soot away.
@@tozzi32 if I wasn't doing an EGR delete I would have removed it already and cleaned it with plenty of carb cleaner. I prefer knowing the the part in question is as clean as possible before refitting and clearing any faults.
Imagine if I'd done it from the air filter box as the instructions wanted me to. . . . . . . . It would have been a 10 mile journey through the intercooler and other pipework.
It wasn't a mile away, it was about 10 inches. If I'd followed the instructions on the can then it would have been a mile away as they said to take the lid of the air filter and spray it in there.
@@Papa77sGarage i get that but you see the excess spray you missed. If you did it like that the car would have sucked it all nor 1/4 of the can. You did it right i would but get it in the hole and do it. The product works if use it all not 1/4 of it and if two caked on you may need to do few tins. be easier to just do take EGR off in your case and use carb cleaner
Should have cleaned the engine bay first so as none of that dirt gets sucked in! You have to take the EGR Valve off the car and clean it manually. Wynns Lazy Man's Cleaner!
.....can't possibly work, won't stop people buying it though! EGR only opens at high speed/load engine excursions. Spraying it into the inlet will bypass the EGR valve anyway.
The issue is , people buy diesels to run short journeys. Diesels need to be driven like you have stolen them and go on long runs(40 mins plus )and least a few times a week, or get rid and buy a petrol..

Jesus Christ, I bet your arse was twitching when that fell in. I feel like I should try a different brand (with straw) to see if I get better results.

Why spray so far away?
Take your car to a diesel specialist and have the intake manifold and EGR properly cleaned.
and spend 200+
So close to removing the egr may as well of took it off and cleaned it though its not the worst one I've seen
I could have but that wasn't really the point of the video.
What happens if the EGR is open all the time? I have an 09 1.3 CDTI corsa. Still runs perfect, no smoke, good idle, power.
I failed the emission test, too much particulate due to the EGR being stuck open
High fuel consumption
Mr muscle is the stuff everyone uses
It probably does a better job as well.
You have to remove the EGR valve to use it though. Not an easy job on all cars.
You just wasted the can mate spray it directly into the system you should do an oil and filter change afyer as well
By the looks of it that engine needs more then a egr clean 😅

EGR only opens at high speed/load engine excursions.
Spraying it into the inlet will bypass the EGR valve anyway.
No it don't!!!!!!!
I agree.
Mate you didnt fucked up the engine like that?
Don't you waste your money,go and buy some oven cleaning foam
From what I've seen, I would agree.
I removed my mine to find it had done NOTHING. Needed cleaning manually.Waste of time & money.
I'm not surprised, sounds like the same situation I was in.
no clean
Bloody dirty diesels and there egr valves are so annoying 😒
I know, it needs removing really and properly cleaning. I have other plans in the pipeline for this anyway.

Take off egr and clean it ,waste time
I know that is the best way to do it but this product deserved a chance to show what it can or can't do.
@@Papa77sGarage THINK, you can't do a prober clean whit some spray
The spray might help in pipes / Area unaccessible… However, take the EGR off and clean… its easy
Looks like no difference, better just take it of and replace it...
My thoughts exactly but people must be spending money on these products so I thought I'd give it a try.
You proved that these additives are useless
That seems to be the case for this one. I'm going to try others and see if there are any different results.
This is BS. If you have a direct injected engine, you need to delete the EGR. That is if you want your engine to last.
STOP use those produkts. Mechanic on can don't work. Do a prober repair
