Bought new bring and gaskets for the dreaded EGR removal/clean. Absolute PITA to get into the bottom bolt hold EGR on, took off with the EGR cooler steel pipe. EGR didn’t look too bad
But the cooler pipe was caked:
A good scrape and scrub with brake cleaner, various screwdrivers and scotch-brite got them all nicely cleaned:
New bring fitted to EGR body and gaskets fitted to pipe, found it easier to fit pipe onto EGR with one bolt (bolt nearest to engine), tighten up EGR then fit last bolt from pipe to EGR.
Part numbers for the oring and gaskets:
Cleaned out EGR inlet pipe as there was a wee bit oil in it and also cleaned out catch can. Think having the catch can might be helping keep the EGR a bit cleaner (it’s not been done for a few years and the last time I did it the EGR internals were much worse).
My left hand and forearm are bl**dy sore and scraped

Nice work, such a nightmare to get to some of those bolts. Shame EGR deletes aren't road legal otherwise mine would've been yeeted ages ago (that's how much I enjoyed doing mine).
Will have to take a note of those part numbers as no doubt it'll be time to do it again soon

The delete put me off due to the shutdown is not same and the circulation is there for cooling also its not just emissions so i just thought keep on the EGR and a good blast now and again, cleaning it though defiantly helps which was a surprise, also got pulled over the other week and got asked if i wanted to sell you might get same as he was looking for one for a while yet he had an M4 and wanted an older car i found that a tad odd even asked insurance group weirdI did the delete years ago but it threw up warning light, couldn’t be bothered with the hassle of coding out so just reverted back
