Got a couple codes that lead me to believe I was about to get epa'd. Started by trying to remove the def doser but broke a bolt. Since that happened I went ahead and removed the decomp tube and found the buildup.
If that def caked up able to be removed and if so what's the best way? How about removing the broken bolt from the def doser since that has to be replaced as well. Any tips or tricks on that because it doesn't look easy?
Decomp tube replace or not?

Personally i would replace it with how bad that is. Id also be checking my dpf and scr for contamination. That said you may be able to try boiling water and a brush to see if it comes off. I also vaugely remimber there being a cleaner that can help but it had mixed reviews.
Siinman and RunningAces Thank this. -
I'd just wash off the crystalized DEF with water. Might need a bit of help with a soft brush but usually water breaks it up ok.
I'd check the pattern on the nozzle too, that'd give poor atomization if its partially plugged.Diesel Dave and RunningAces Thank this. -
