Product Information
Full details
The Motip EGR Cleaner is an essential maintenance tool for vehicle owners looking to optimize engine efficiency and restore air intake flow. It is designed for automotive DIYers and mechanics who need to dissolve stubborn carbon deposits within the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve and intake system. While it provides a significant boost to engine performance and reduces exhaust smoke, it is important to note that it is a specialized chemical cleaner and requires careful application to avoid damaging sensitive electronic sensors during the cleaning process.

FAQs
Do I need to remove the EGR valve to use this?
For best results, removing the valve allows for deeper cleaning, but the spray can be used via the intake hose for routine maintenance.
Is this safe for all engine types?
It is intended for internal combustion engines with EGR systems; consult your vehicle's manual before use on specific high-end sensor arrays.
Will this fix a failed EGR electronic solenoid?
No. This cleaner removes physical carbon deposits; it cannot repair broken internal electronics or mechanical gear failures.
How often should I use this?
It is best used as a preventative measure every 20,000 to 30,000 miles, or whenever symptoms of rough idling appear.
Can I spray this directly on electrical connectors?
No. Avoid spraying directly onto electrical connectors or sensitive airflow sensors as it may cause malfunctions.
Troubleshooting
Engine stalls during application
Reduce the volume of spray and ensure the engine speed is kept slightly elevated during the cleaning process.
Check engine light remains on after cleaning
The fault codes may need to be cleared manually via an OBD-II scanner after the cleaning is finished.
Spray nozzle clogging
Turn the can upside down and spray briefly to clear the nozzle path if the valve becomes blocked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this product, ensure the engine is at operating temperature for better solvent performance. Always disconnect the airflow sensor (MAF) if possible to prevent accidental damage from overspray. After application, it is recommended to drive the vehicle for 10–15 minutes to ensure all residues are completely burned off through the exhaust system. Store the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sparks, as the contents are highly flammable. Use in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate protective gloves and eye protection during use.
