After I read all trhough the links..I think its for Lengend and RL. It is similar to TL setup. Can I do a EGR clean up without removing intake manifold.This is how I planned to do it...
1)Try to get only EGR Pipe..Selenium pipe and clean it..if it doesn't solve the issue
2)Then I will remove the EGR System and clean...if it doesn't solve the issue
3)Lastly intake manifold.
