Yes I saw that one too. ANd indeed the sprays are not enough... But this is 2 liter of this stuff at a higher RPM... Read some of the comments. One of the comments is from a mechanic and he did this with about 13 cars and it worked.I think it's a waste of time.
Checked it last week and couldnt see any splits.I had p0401 and 80407 it’s said restricted flow would clear but came bk pending the little actuator arm was seized solid some one plugged it in January time and they was Egr fault them so cleard it been all right till a few weeks ago management light came on cleard but soon as you did 15miles it came bk not dash but said pending done about 100 now on new Egr had no fault codes since have you checked yours for any splits in the pipes

I can’t understand how it would work if it’s put in the inlet gets burned by engine witch would clean dpf but if Egr is not open how would it pass though the systemI think it's a waste of time.
i was thinking the same whats to say the Egr is open is they much flow at that rpm or if like mine nearly blocked how would it clean it the stuff in my Egr its rock hardIf only it was this easy. How would you even know the EGR was open to allow the chemicals to clean inside?
Have a look at this egr cleaning thread. That machine costs over £1000 and is used by VW to flush EGR's.
Now take a look at this thread were VW flushed someones EGR 7 times under warranty and the the problem still came back within months.
So if a machine engineered to connect directly to the EGR valve can't fix the problem there's little chance a spray bottle on the air intake is gonna work.
By all means give it a go if you think it will help, but I doubt it will tbh. Just my opinion based on others experiences.
Alright. Thanks for the advice Howzat. I might just have tackle it and change the EGR myself. I hope its not too complex.If only it was this easy. How would you even know the EGR was open to allow the chemicals to clean inside?

What engine is yoursAlright. Thanks for the advice Howzat. I might just have tackle it and change the EGR myself. I hope its not too complex.
Its a van : 75kW --- I'll type some code down not sure which one I need - ? GCXGB280X0 ?What engine is yours
I did this the other night. Worked well for throttle response and quietness. However, P0401 and 23781 has come back! I’m going to do again as OReillys said stubborn engines need a couple goes. Also EGR return to exhaust manifold is leaking (cracked pipe) so need to replace that tooHey hey,
I also have an EGR problem but still looking at other solutions. Did any of you try this? There are a lot enthusiast comments on this video of people who tried this.
