There is usually a smaller grub screw which is sealed to go in there

That one is for the delete pipe.
Just use a grub screw without a hole down it.

Fantastic fantastic FANTASTIC tutorial. Used this on my audi a3 8P BKD engine with the hand of my mate and managed to clean my valve out and the avd. I used Valvoline EGR cleaner (£7 incl next day p+p from ebay) and it worked perfectly. Disassembly was a b*tch!!!!!, cleaning was fine, reassemly was not bad.
Some stuff that were not pointed out in the tutorial were some hoses connected to the egr and maf pipe that needed to be taken off but they were no problem at all. I would also recommend taking off the cooler and this allowed alot of extra space and ten mins to take off. Also i recommend using a proper allen bolt kit with extenders and proper wrenches and standard allen keys are a b*tch to use!
some have said that only cleaning the egr and avd will not show much of a difference in performance but i beg to differ. I say a change in pickup, high torque on lower revs so really pleased for a job that cost me £7 to do.
Next job will be to clean the turbo vanes with the Mr Muscle trick as this is proven to help the performance of the car ALOt aswell as clean the turbo for only £4!!
This helped solve my P0401 error code.
Once again fantastic thread!!!!
