How to clean the EGR valve of the car without removing it

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: EGR valve

Video tutorial

To clean the EGR valve without removing it from its housing, we will need to use a WD40 spray. Open the front hood and remove the engine cover by unscrewing the screws.

Disconnect the hose that connects the engine to the valve and use the spray to clean the interior. Before using the spray, start the car engine to let the dirt come out. When no gray or black air comes out of the exhaust, we can reconnect the hose and close the engine cover and hood.

This practice can be done on all vehicles equipped with the system available on the market.
