Diesel cleaner recommendations

[Hutchball]

Hi, I’ve just got an Audi A4 diesel 2.0tdi and I don’t think it’s been looked after very well, EGR clogged up and now an anti shudder problem. I’ve cleaned them but the anti shudder keeps popping back up. Anyway, I’m going on a long drive next weekend and I’m wondering what you would (or would not!) recommend to give the engine a good clean out.

Forte does a good one for diesel.

Scrap the EGR for a delete kit.

 

[Hutchball]

Yes thinking of getting it deleted. Nothing but trouble. While cleaning the egr the inlet is just so full of crap I’m deciding whether to take it off and clean that too.

Yeah if inlets full of the black sludge of the devil then if capable get it off and cleaned out.

Is it possible to take the vacuum pipe off the anti shudder and plug it like can on the pd 1.9.

I've used Wynns Formula Gold in previous cars, I didn't notice much difference in performance although there was a tad less smoke when accelerating hard.

Cataclean works well !
