Hi all
I have purchased a td4 on a 53 plate with only 37000 miles on the clock.It runs really well and i am well happy on that point.Had the bonnet up the other day and noticed that the EGR vac pipe was off and blanked so i removed the main air hose from the EGR and everything is coated in very thick black oil,is this normal as i was thinking more off a carbon type deposit and not a thick oily one.I know this has been covered before on the forum but i could not find anything about the type of crud you get.
If this is normal can it be left or will it need to be cleaned out,will the vehicle suffer if i dont clean it.Any advice would be welcome
