Cleaning the Stuff That’s Cleaning the Exhaust

One of the most common engine problems also has one of the scariest names.  Exhaust Gas Recirculation System Failure.  Wow!  That sounds serious!


 Indeed, it’s nothing you want to happen to your car, but fortunately there’s an easy way to keep this common problem away. 

Here’s what’s going on:  Your exhaust system is trying really hard to keep pollution out of the air.  In fact, your car is actually cleaning up pollution before it ever leaves your car.  Believe it or not, there’s a little factory in your exhaust system that is trying to lower harmful pollutants.  As it is doing this, carbons start to build up and could bring this system down, and you’re out $700. 

Here’s how to stay away from that.  Every 30,000 miles or so have a professional fuel system cleaning.  It shouldn’t cost you more than $150 at most, and you will be sure to extend the life of the very thing that makes your car go.
