    EGR cleaning and thermostat

    Hi Guys,
    just wondering if it's common practice to replace the EGR thermostat after cleaning the EGR valve ? I have just completed cleaning the valve and straight away there's a noticeable difference , having said that it was caked on. the reason I ask is someone suggested I also replace it but I'm not so sure , my guess is its still working so why replace?.
    cheers,
    Dan

    06 520d msport 73k on the clock, was heavy on juice but I put that down to a service owing to it shortly but there has been a noticeable improvement since I cleaned it, I suppose for the peace of mind best change both then may even improve economy more tho since remap am enjoying the power more and foot may have got heavier. :P
