97 A4 2.8q EGR question.
I stop at a red light and all of a sudden my RPM starts to jump up and down. A few seconds later the check engine light comes on. I disregard this light because the car seems to be running good once it gets up to speed (still have the fluctuating RPM problem at idle). Today(about 2 weeks later) I was not too busy, so I decided to check it out. The OBDII reads EGR Flow Insufficient. After doing some research, as well as talking to some mechanics, I found out that it is possible to clean the EGR valve. This is where the problem comes in. I have no clue how I am going to unscrew the EGR from the pipe that connect to it on the bottom. there's like NO room at all. Has anyone done this before? Can I have some tips on how to get it off without damaging it?
Thanks

I have the same problem lol.
I'm told the easiest way to get it off is to jack up the driver's side front, remove the wheel and inner fender liner, un-do the fitting at the bottom end of the metal line the valve is attached to, and take them both out the top as one piece. But I'll go to hell before i do that in a slushy parking lot in January lmao. It can wait.

Hmmm, thanks a lot. The weather around here isn't too good either so I think I'll wait for the winter to pass or for a sunny day so I don't freeze my *** off laying under the car.
P.S. I think I'll turn this project into a DIY. I'll provide step by step instruction and add photos to each individual step.
