[Vwdiesel] Fwd: Cleaning needed?

[Erik Lane]

On a related note, I've heard that there's a setting in VAG-COM that you can
put into your computer and it will keep the EGR from coking up so quickly.
I've also seen pictures of some neat modifications that keep either the
carbon or oil or something out of the valve. Check out the TDI club online.

Yes, the lower power is very likely the EGR valve. At least that's the first
place to look. (Of course you know the regular diesel things like fuel
filter, etc.)
