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? |

Most of the time the EGR tube gets clogged, as well as the inlet to the intake. Both should be cleaned.
