Wynns EGR3 cleaner

[Simon Blythe]

Has anyone used it - thought I might run a can through my system.

 

[GazHyde]

Don't see why not, although not sure how much of a difference it would make!

Its more just for peace of mind mate, although when dipping the clutch when coming from speed she has cut out a couple of times.

 

[GazHyde]

Have you tried reading the fault codes? Could be a camshaft sensor which is pretty common on the M5x engines.

 

[Simon Blythe]

That does seem to be a common occurrence and cause. I haven't read the code, is the port in the engine bay or under the dash?

 

[GazHyde]

Depends on the year, and that isn't an exact way to find out either. Most likely read the codes from the round connector under the bonnet on yours.

Am I right in thinking just unscrewing the connector means it does "something" which means the system resets somehow or am I imagining it?

I've got the reader and the adaptor so I can read the codes.

 

[GazHyde]

No, you just unscrew the cap and plug the code reader in. The reader will allow you to reset the codes to see if they persist or not.

Thanks for that mate, I'll check them later
