Re: EGR, head light, audio...

EGR cleaners don't work. Other than removing it and mapping it out, a replacement part is the only permanent (well 70,000 miles or so) fix. thanks for opinion! So I've got time to find replacement, sad news... Don't fit a xenon/HID kit in your reflector headlights. They will look rubbish and scatte...
