Ultrasonic EGR Cleaning: A Great Way To Keep Your Car Running Smoothly
Today we will be talking about why ultrasonic EGR cleaning is a must-do for your vehicle. We have covered the general benefits of ultrasonic cleaning previously. Now we will discuss applying an ultrasonic cleaner to your EGR or gas recirculation valve works wonders not only for your EGR but your vehicle in general.
If you ever wondered, what does an EGR do anyway? In a nutshell a little bit of the exhaust gases are recirculated to the intake system to boost efficiency and also from a health point of view. This recirculation process reduces fuel consumption and even Nitrogen oxide emissions, which means some savings on gas and less emissions, sounds like a win-win doesn’t it? Aside from we would be complying with EURO5 standards and lowering the combustion temperature.
At Toronto Vapour Blasting we always say that making sure your car parts are clean and in tip-top shape is key to maintaining your vehicle and makes for less stress. That’s why we pride ourselves on giving the best service possible for your vehicle cleaning needs.
If your EGR isn’t well maintained it could cause several issues like:
- More emissions, which could lead to problems in emission testing and is a possible health detriment.
- Inability to operate normally ex. Closing and opening. This will cause a premature entry of the exhaust gas which reduces your vehicle’s power and acceleration.
- Stalling, usually caused by poor engine performance as one possible effect of a dirty valve.
- Overheating
- Increased fuel consumption, I am pretty sure we don’t want to be spending more on fuel any more than we should right? Especially with the recent fuel price increases. So ensuring that you have your EGR clean and in shape is always a good thing.

As mentioned before, ultrasonic cleaning is a highly effective and safe way to clean the parts of your vehicle. Aside from this, the best thing about this revolutionary vehicle cleaning method is it can be done repeatedly to ensure the best results and having your EGR seem good as new. Lastly, it is also cost beneficial as this means your EGR will last longer and you don’t have to keep replacing it when it gets dirty.
