EGR Question My EGR Sensor is fully of black carbon buildup. Is there any way to disassemble the EGR off my 99 WS6 so I can clean the sucker thoroughly? I can take it off and use a small wire brush and some nitro solvent to clean out the little hole but that's about all I can get to. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Well the “service engine soon” light recently came on so I took it to AutoZone and they ran the programmer on it and it came up under an EGR error code. Is it an advantage to have it on since it sends unburned exhaust back to the engine to be burned or will taking it off help the engine breathe better. Or is it a disadvantage to take it off?

id rather have it off, but it wont give you a noticible difference in anything. just less weight in your car+ cleaner looking engine bay. if you want your engine code to go away you'd hafto get the egr fixed or tuned out.
