Hi, yesterday I've cleaned egr valve and I've found a lot of oil in the pipes. The engine has 296000 km and doesn't leak or consume oil. I've already cleaned intercooler and changed decompression filter the last time 258000km and at 288000km I've changed also fuel filter.
The engine works regulary and seems to run better after yesterday cleaning, but not yet as progressive as I remember it was.
I've also buyed the wynn's turbo cleaner spray, but I havent find a place after the maf where insert the little pipe to use it.
Have someone used it?
Any suggestion what can I check to exclude other causes of lack of power?
thanks
Sergio
 
I always ask how can any cleaner clean the turbo as it is only air that gets into it .or am I being stupid

Hi mate , how u doing

Inside a turbo normally has vanes that get a carbon build up on them , so some of the cleaner can assist in breaking that up , if they get jammed will cause the vehicle to into limp mode

However they have different designs , this one is the same that’s in mine
