I meant the filter, my apologies LOL Still groggy from my shift in the wee hours. Any ideas where I can find a guide? lol Haven't had any black smoke for a few days since I refueled at Esso.

Flat blade screwdriver for the airbox pipe and either a 10mm spanner or a 1/4" 10mm socket on a T20 screwdriver (not 100% needed).
Pull the air intake pipe off, unclip the relevant wiring off the top of the airbox, undo the pressure sensor on the right hand side of the airbox (or swing the airbox out the way and leave it on) undo the jubilee clip at the back of the airbox, pull off, pull the front of the airbox up, then move the whole lot to the left (peg underneath) pull it out.
Undo the 2 X
10mm nuts and 1 X 10mm bolt being careful not to drop the heatshield. Pull the EGR out - it'll either fall out or be an arse.

Take the engine cover off, unclip the cold air feed off the front of the airbox, remove the wiring around the airbox including the pressure sensor on the right hand side, undo the jubilee clip at the back, remove the air pipe, lift up the front, then slide leftwards the airbox, take it off.
Now you'll see the EGR valve and housing at the back, theres 2 x 10mm nuts holding it on, and 1 x 10mm bolt. Use a magnet if you want just don't drop them, unclip the EGR valve if you haven't already. Now its loose, it'll either slide out first time (nice and clean) or jam. Spray some penetrating oil where it joins the housing, and with a mixture of prying with a screwdriver in the gap, wiggling the actual housing with a big pair of grips, after 10 minutes (ish) it'll come out.
Most people fill a cup with cleaner and leave the half thats dirty soaking (not the electrical connector end) Whilst they clean the housing, scrubbing all the crap out, hard bits will need scratching with a screwdriver, wire brush whatever.
When its all re-built, initially it'll smoke like a trooper don't panic, when its warm just take it for a hard thrash.
just thrash it in second gear for 200meteres that will clean all the coke out
