Man, I'd have blanked off those swirl flaps, just for the fact that they become brittle and will fall into the combustion chamber, writing that engine off. Personally wouldn't bother with the egr delete though, a bit of maintenance will keep it going good.
@@davidwilliams2474 I think a lot depends on how bad it is, if it's just the egr thats dirty then yes it would probably work. But the state this manifold was in, don't think any spray would work. I had it sat in diesel for most of the day and that barely softened it up.
Think I'll be cleaning the black stains off for a while, it's almost like it's permanent.
It’s a good feeling when they free off easily! Another great video Ben 👍👍
Great job done Ben! Very entertaining video …loved it 👍😀
Nice one Ben, good effort!
Good job Ben!😊
How many miles were on it at time of filming mate?
Not sure, think it was about 150K.

If it were my car, then yes I would have also done the swirl flap delete. My dad didn't want to do any mods.
What about one of those spray cans (wynns?) of EGR cleaner down the EGR/manifold? Not just a pressure wash?
I have seen them, not sure how good they are. Manifold had to come off any way, so I cleaned it out old school.
