    Will do man! I want to get the turbo rattle sorted first though so I won't be getting it done anytime soon.

    When is it going in?

    This could be the christmas pressie I was wondering about, Id imagine my car would benifit significantly 180k kms worth of crap in there to clean out.

    I've been meaning to take out the egr and clean it, but its hard to summon up the courage to mess with something thats working.

    Yeah and Id be starting this thread the next day.

    "so I put my engine back together and I have these bits left over, what do I do"

    LOL

    Ah that stuff does look like a good job, coupled with buying good quality fuel and a fuel system cleaner every now and then it'll be oxo

    Hopefully some day next week.

    If CM can take out his EGR and clean it, a blind man can do it. Just remember to put back all the bolts or you will have low boost pressure :P

    My OH does the hoovering :) but he is not as diligent, hence the cleaner :) If he can't see the dirt, it doesn't exist in his world :)

    I'm away a lot with work so am not there to do it :) In motoring news, my car is in for it's nct soon :pac:
