I am new to this group and was advised to join over a suspected carbon build up issue... please could you let me know, when you guys have the problem to you have dash lights come on and does the radio also cut out?
I have a turbo diesel 2007 4 x 4 manual GLXR and I adore her, I have had her just over a year and she hasn't missed a beat until now.

I had a look in the intake and when I originally put the EGR tonys mod on the car had 35,000ks it now has 65,000 so in reality it should only have about 35,000ks worth of reticulation when I looked in it did seem to have a big build up where the EGR comes into the intake pipe should I get a manifold clean done anyways so I know its clean and will continue to be clean with the mod?
or for 35,000ks is it not worth it how much gunk should I expect to have in there?

Have you got a catch can on?? If you did not clean the manifold when the EGR mod went on then the oil that floats around will have something to stick to and add to build up.
Why wouldn't you do it?gmhl wrote:Bit of a mini thread revival....
I finally have booked my Ml in to get the airbag and wiring recall looked at and I was informed that there was a third recall item. Apparently the ecu requires reflashing due to the carbon build up in the egr. This will assist with fuel efficiency, but I do have the option to not go through with it.
I can’t seem to find any information surrounding this recall, and more specifically much about the 3.2l having issues. My fuel efficiency is not what it used to be and I have always thought it was just rubbish fuel but I’m not really that concerned tbh.
Should I opt to go ahead with the reflash of the ecu or is it pointless to do? I’ve never had manifolds cleaned etc so I assume there’s build up but certainly not causing any obvious problems. A bit of guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
