    yeah I'll definitely try cleaning it first.

    I would think that an EGR would hurt you mileage since it's routing the exhaust fumes (which is theoretically devoid of oxygen) back to your intake... wouldn't the reduction in burnable air cause a less complete burn?

    i meant to say... replacing your egr will help improve gas mileage.. when it get clogged up gas mileage suffers.. i dunno if you would gain anything by removing it all together

    Maybe, but also contains un-burned fuel...

    Hi ABS sensor faults are generally caused by a build up of brake dust over the sensor or the exciter rings - either a jet wash or remove the disc and clean them up works just fine - mine was coming on every so often - but since i cleaned the exciter rings and sensor face it hasn't come on once and the TOD seems to work better
    cheers
