that would make it run like shit eh?

 

im junking the EGR anyway so im not bothered, im just curious to know how it got there. theres obviously oil coming from somewhere and carbonising in the tube.

can you get to them without removing the engine??

not unless you had go-go gadget arms :lol:

 

seriously tho. you could probably get off the pipes EGR valve to the plenum but it would be one hell of a struggle to get the one from the manifold to the EGR valve.

if you just want to check the tubes youd be as well taking off the plenum.

 

im using the EGR as an anti-lag setup on the Charade ;)

its sounds wierd but keeping the egr keeps the cylinder temps down in the turbo zx anyway iirc, the oil must come from your plennum, was the car smoking at all??

oh right cool. :D

it wasnt smoking that i could notice. but it had the cats on, so that would hide the smoke.

 

the oil was either in the plenum (blown from the turbo throught the compressor) and ended up on the hot tube. or has been blown through the turbine seals and up throught the EGR tube on the exhaust manifold.

I,ve junked all mine but they were clogged as well so it wouldn,t have been doing it,s job anyway :confused:

You can remove the whole systym with gearbox out, inc pipework to manifold via EGR unit, although 9 times out of 10 the 22mm nut on the manifld rounds off! alot easier to remove on an NA
