Wynn's EGR3 Cleaner, Anyone tried it?

[Grahamr123]

So I came across 'Wynn's EGR3 Cleaner' today.
http://www.autosessive.com/9/section.aspx/1685/Wyn...

It is meant to clean up the inside of EGR valves, and make the engine run smoother. Sounds ideal of my TDDi focus, which is pretty rough at times, and has had the very occasional power hicup when pulling away.

I've heard lots of good things about on various forums and reviews. The concept being that you let the engine idle about 2000rpm, and spray it in the intake body in 1 second bursts. Its meant to remove the build up of gunk in the EGR valve.

Found this video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DhYk3Mm8HQ

Has anyone used this before? Does it work?

On the other hand I've also heard that it doesn't clean it 'Properly' and the only way to do so is to take out the EPR valve and manually clean out the gunk. But this is much bigger job.

So I'm weighing up the options really.

What do you guys think?

Better to take the thing off and clean it, or better still blank it off.

It sprays down your inlet so I don't much of it will actually get inside the valve to clean it.

Carb cleaner is significantly cheaper.

What does blanking it off actually do?

Bit of a noob when it comes to these things

I blanked off the EGR in my Mondeo TDCi engine, worked a treat. Actually made the engine a little more responsive too.

Try the TalkFord forums for How To guides

Sounds promising

Any drawbacks?
