I had a crack at cleaning the EGR plate on my 2.0 petrol at the weekend using a couple of the helpful tutorials online. I managed to unplug all the wires and hoses to allow the plastic cable holder to be moved a little out of the way.
The problem I hit was with removing the fuel rail. I can't for the life of me undo the three nuts that hold the rail on. In the videos they just undo them with a 10mm socket but I can;t get a socket anywhere near mine as there are metal pipes in the way. I tried using an open-ended spanner on one but it just started to round off the nut.
In the end I gave up and left it for another day.
Has anyone else had this issue and if so, how did you resolve it?
