  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the advantage that it is more often than not easy to access and simple to take apart/clean. You can always take a look at it and clean it, for this see our article on cleaning the EGR valve of an Citroen C5 Aircross.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very fragile components and a few impurities may be enough to disturb their performance. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a professional.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, simply replace it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will basically have to replace it with a new one.
