Happened to me too!! Sacrifices have to be made.
Posted this on The Dark Side, not a lot of interest (well none apart from Tim commenting I'd got my fingies oily) but they can get their domestic staff to sort it out!

Cleaned it with 'wasbenzine' don't know english term [cleaning/white spirit ?]. Normally used to clean paint brushes or to dilute paint. Only dipped the filthy bit in it ; son't know what it does to the plastic... Wiped with paper towel ; done... 3 minutes work!

Bushwanderer ; nope that's what we call 'Terpentine'... I think that 'Benzene' comes nearest... Always thought it to be quite harmless [smels nice] ..but benzene ... is carcinogenic..].
Syd ; why 'rub-it-in' why not pm-me and tell be how the *!^@%?! trick works... please ...?

I checked my MAP sensor today. 56 plate with 95K. EGRs blanked by BAS 18 months ago. Sensor was pretty clean, just some light oiling, certainly not blocked up.

MY 05 with 120KM with new set of EGR this spring. Not that much soiled as I hoped for because of pour MPG.
