Fast forward to this morning. Had plans to clean the egr and add in a vortex pcv only to find the fine gents at ATS had snapped my bonnet release cable and decoded not to tell me 😓. 1.5 hours later I'd managed to get in via the wheel arch panel. Not a fun job.
Anyway, moved onto the egr and I wish I'd taken a picture. The amount of carbon crud I kid you not had made the opening about 1/2 inch. How the car was still chugging I will never know. Cleaned it all out and plugged the little woven hole with a screw until I can be bothered to sort out stripping and plugging the thing properly. Cleaned up and dried in a couple of hours along with the inlet.
Then onto the pcv. This was a whole world of pain as a previous owner would appear to have superglued, you heard me right, one of the bolt heads on that was holding the pcv in place. I mean this thing appears to have been reasonably looked after in the past but who does that????. 1.5 hours with a screw extractor and I just managed to get it out.
So all in all a good portion of the day and the only service item I got to was putting in the air filter while I had the thing apart. Looks like it's more fun tomorow night.
Anyway, back to my main point, what the hell ATS Euromaster? Bang out of order.
Cheers

Although I am Not a fan of theses type of places, They must have been able to open the bonnet via the release cable to re-gas the A/C.. maybe you were just unlucky and the cable snapped/dislodged when you pulled it to open the bonnet to do your service work
