    Hello community,


    Again, I am here for the expertise and advice. This time, I am hoping to see if someone can share best practices to cleaning the EGR temp sensor that is attached to the plenum. I tried looking it up here but only found info on EGR valve cleaning. Thanks in advance.

    Deposits around the sensor attached to plenum. It’s different from the EGR modulator but it seems like using a wire brush might be the way to go.

    I used a wire brush on mine, worked pretty good. Just be gentle with the wire.
