General Info on EGR

Don't do it. It is a bit counter-intuitive, but it will increase combustion chamber temperatures, not help fuel consumption, and actually degrade performance.

Takes a couple of hours, just mind the black soot that comes out, if you get it on carpets or clothes it will not come out
