I'm just looking to do some routine maintenance on the car before I hand it over to my little bro. I'm thinking about taking off the EGR valve and soaking it in carb cleaner, but I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble. It's a '95 7a with about 180k mi on it, and it's never been cleaned before. There's no CEL on though, so I'm not sure if it's even dirty to the point where it would make a difference.
Thoughts? |

You can clean out the tube and be ok. I learned don't blow out the modulator with carb cleaner though, I killed mine doing that.
