Operation: How to clean the EGR valve

In this video we see how to clean the EGR valve with a specific product: When our diesel car emits excessive smoke and the engine does not run smoothly, a common cause can be the EGR valve dirty with carbon deposits. The EGR system is responsible for bringing a portion of the exhaust gases into the intake, in order to reduce the formation of nitrogen oxide, but there are circumstances that cause deposits and malfunctions of the components. The Tunap product is called 926 X-foam, and we can easily find it on Amazon, for example, with the code B01L72A5L8, at a price of 38.99 euros, including delivery costs. Once the EGR valve is removed, the foam adheres perfectly to the component and is able to dissolve even the most stubborn dirt, completely dissolving it after a waiting time of about 15 minutes. All that remains is to reassemble the valve in its place. It is also possible to intervene on the intake manifold through a special applicator.
