The auld durty diesels are a houre for the soot build-up, not really surprising when you think about what comes out the tailpipe. I've used oven cleaner a good few times myself to clear soot up, once there's nothing that can be damaged it's surprising what it does, anything that's left afterwards can usually be removed with little pipe cleaners and painters panelwipe/degreaser, if you needed to get everything off. Bit time consuming but it works. Was surprised to hear a fellow paddy! Cheers and take er handy 👍

Once you have the manifold off give it a fast scrape and coat it it Mr Muscle while cleaning the intake ports. Work on 1 cylinder at at time, with both valves closed. Scrape & hoover first, then you will need to use compressed air in by the valves. It works out quite fast & clean like this 👍👍

I believe that EGR cooler is from an Audi. Is it entirely made from stainless steel, rather than aluminium, like some other EGR coolers? That might explain why oven can be used. I also believe that some of the blockage is caused by crystals of AdBlue. These may need some other solvent to remove them or just mechanical cleaning.

Hey Roger, this cooler is from a 2016 Skoda Octavia 1.6 diesel. It is all stainless steel & yes the blockage mostly happens due to Adblu residue buildup. I was given instruction to refit the cooler after turbo replacement & just thought I’d try oven cleaner just to lessen the chances of being caught with it being blocked 😬😬 Thanks for watching & commenting 🙏🙏

@@kennedysgarage3281 what I did find is, Simple Green all purpose, and Goo Gone Oven Cleaner, SG in a crock pot, full strength, GG straight undiluted in a cut off milk jug, cut the carbon very well, except when it was grey, burnt yo pure charcoal/carbon, then i needed to scrap it off, came off in powder form. The Daimler pistons are steel, and the skirts below the oil rings are coated with a paint? probably a Teflon type for extra friction reduction if they slap, the SG and the GG both eat that costing, experimented on a garbage piston first, so when I dipped I put the piston in and carefully filled the container. Then I also cleaned the EGR Cooler, it was gross, even after pressure washing it, it is stainless steel so I wasn't concerned using it, But people reading this, if cleaning aluminum, be very cautious as the acid will etch/dissolve the soft metals, The carb, mystery oil, EGR, valve carbon cleaners are garbage, snake oil, they do cut the soft stuff, but not the Semi hard stuff.

I'm considering the EGR cooler will be the most difficult to clean, as I won't be able to access the channels within. Planning to soak it in Wynn's off-car DPF cleaner overnight, then flush it through with a pressure washer. What do you think? Thanks.
