Well, i did the EGR cleaning yesterday exactly as described at several places. However, after putting everything back together, i noticed that something was amiss. The VX didn't sound right.
Now every time i accelerate, i get a sound like 'someone holding a card in the spokes of a bike'. Its kind of like a shrill 'puttering'. There is also a noticable loss in power. Anyways, i'm quite sure it is a leak. I opened the EGR again and put it back together, but that didn't help. I am thinking about changing the EGR gasket. Can I get it at one of the auto stores? Also, i'm also wondering if RTV sealant would work, although i don't really want to use it, it would be messy.
Please provide any suggestions. Thanks.
