Video of Emap pipe replacement on d4VEA

[molecular bob]

I have just had a main dealer diagnostic which has come back as an egr cooler and a replacement EMAP pipe. I have found the EGR video on you-tube, which looks fine, but I havent found anything on removing the EMAP pipe. I found the one where someone had cleaned it, but not anything on actually removing and refitting one. Is there anything out there?

Buy a new one, the info I've seen says it needs 4 days to soak in some serious cleaner, carb cleaner won't do it and you can't poke it through as it has a bend in it that makes getting something man enough to clear the debris too think to get through it, I think the pipe is about £70, obviously if you have the time try soaking it but by the time you've done £20 on cleaners and it's still blocked you'll be wishing you'd bought a new pipe and left the old one to soak for a week or two and then have a spare for next time, use Acetone to clean it with.

ps if you really want to attempt the pipe clean you could nip to a vape shop and get a reel of 20-22 gauge Kanthal wire and try to poke that through, get Kanthal not Stainless Steel or any other variant they have, it might still just bend up when it hits the blockage though.
