Post subject:  Intake cleaning
Just curious, has anyone come up with a passive way to clean the intake on the crd's. Even with the OFM, I found egr still allowing some gasses through, as if not completely closed. Regardless, I would like to start from scratch, and have a clean, open intake. I do not want to remove the cylinder head, even thought a belt replacement will be soon to come, and I'll be more then half way there. EGR has been completely blocked off now, looking forward to a GDE tune, however dreading the shipping charges.

Have you ever observed how a "snow fence" works? The snow builds up just behind the fence :SOMBRERO:

The same thing happens on egr equipped diesel engines. On our CRD's it seems the "snow fence" is the elbow just above the flow control valve.

Some snow/soot will get further but the majority will be right behind what ever is acting like the fence. On a VW ALH tdi engine the "anti shudder valve" is the fence :JEEPIN:

Nothing has been found that will clean it "automatically" :ALONE: You'll need to remove it for cleaning :2cents:
