EGR valve cleaner is a type of fluid that helps clear debris and particles from the exhaust gas recirculation system on an engine. When the EGR valve cleaner is used, it helps to prevent deposits from forming on this system, avoiding a number of problems such as decreased fuel economy and even possible engine failure. 

The valves are responsible for controlling the air and fuel mixture that is burned in the engine. Over time, debris can accumulate inside the valve, which can cause it to malfunction. By using an EGR cleaner for a diesel or petrol vehicle, you can keep your engine running smoothly and avoid expensive repairs. Note: some EGR cleaner products are specific to petrol engines and others to diesel engines.
