Sean-

Here is a link to an essay on complete rebuilding of the EGR system/exhaust
injection system on the 1974(?)-1983.5 Type 2 motor. Hope it helps.  The
only changes:
In step #9 the "intake distribution pipes" I speak of are the tiny (3-4 mm)
pipes inside the intake manifold that inject exhaust into the intake
stream; NOT the 30mm intake runners.
In step #20, change "?back off the adjustment one-half turn?" to "back the
adjustment off one-and-one-half turns". The reason: If the EGR injects
exhaust too early in the acceleration curve, it will cause a slight,
predictable hiccup when you try to smoothly leave a stopped position.

Hope all is well with my type 2 & vanagon friends. Although friends suspect
there is something wrong with our water, I am actually looking for a VW 412
to add to our stable. If you know of one in GREAT shape, light color, AC &
Auto, preferably with the aux. heater intact, let me know directly. Rust
buckets needn't apply.

How do I clean my EGR valve? It is really gummed up.
I have some chem dip that I used for the throttle body but it cant be used
with plastic components. Are there any in the EGR valve?
