75 CDT Liquid trapped in EGR after cleaning
I recently removed the EGR valve and inlet manifold from a 75 CDT parts car to clean and fit to my regular 75. I got the impression on the forum that it was a nasty job (and it was), so I soaked the parts in both diesel and soapy water (separately) for several days in between high pressure washing the parts.. Don't know if the soaking did any good, but the parts seem relatively clean now
Anyway, on to the problem: there is now some liquid (diesel and/or water) inside that little turret on the EGR where the vacuum hose connects, which I can't get out.. I managed to shake out most of it, but I can still hear that there's a little more left. I tried to blow the rest out with air, and some did come out, but there's more left. Anyone got any ideas? It will take forever to evaporate naturally, so I considered putting it in the oven on low temperature or something, but then I fear the kitchen and oven will smell of diesel afterwards. I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same issue after cleaning the EGR? Do you have any suggestions, or do you know if it's safe to fit the EGR without it being completely dry? |

If the water is on the EGR side of the diaphragm, the movement of air in the inlet manifold will dry it out anyway. Either way the water will evaporate.

I read it as water is in the control side which won't evaporate by the action of air flowing through the EGR valve.
