    Now I am confused. You have been talking about the EGR valve in this thread. You said you took the EGR valve apart, but you had herd that it was calibrated at the factory. I responded that the EGR valve is not calibrated at the factory, so there is no problem taking it apart.

    Are you now saying that you do not know the difference between the EGR valve and the throttle body? Take a picture of the part that you are taking apart and post it.

    The problem now seems to be fixed,

    I have bought a used EGR Valve + Cooler and replaced without cleaning them or unscrewing something, the question now is how to properly clean EGR Valve without damaging it
    like I did

    I didnt touch the throttle body, only EGR valve + cooler

    The egr valve was probably damaged to. begin with and you taking it apart did nothing.
