- 2x E350 CDI Sport W212s... for a bit
Hi,
I've removed/cleaned the EGR valve from my OM642 engine (W212 231BHP). Wasn't badly coked up, no massive amounts of build up (like in the pipe/intake pics below), just a stubborn layer of carbon over everything. I replaced the gasket and the rubber seal and put it back. No problems.
However, I/my OCD wants me to clean the EGR pipe at the front of the engine (might be called the 'EGR admission hose'), and possibly the entire throttle body pipe/intake.
Has anyone done this? I can only find one thread about it online, and it's more OM642 for the w211 specific, I think things are a bit different on a W212.
Included some pics pinched from another forum showing the area, and the gasket.
Doesn't look to be too difficult, just need to make sure that I have all the correct gaskets before starting the job.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone here has done this job, has any pictures, or advice etc. I'm also going to be replacing the green and black o-rings at either end of the turbo inlet pipe and the camshaft sensor too, so I'm gonna make a day of it.
Cheers!
