However, carb cleaner is good for cleaning EGR's :-)

Why? genuine question.

Simply because fuel injection is an easier way to emissions benefits, and
started to become damn near ubiquitous before EGR started to be
particularly common.

It's not impossible - my Saab has EGR, whilst 'erselfs 205 is the same
age and has a carb - but I just can't quite see it.

in this case (the C3) it is very unlikely as it seems it is a diesel.

That's why I asked as it may be confusing as to what is being referred
to as EGR.

EGR was some of the first bit of pollution gear fitted and it was to
recycle the exhaust gas so more exhaust fuel had a second burn to reduce
the emissions.

When injection engines came along the fuel being metered better reduced
the pollution with a more even and complete burn.

Turbo engines operate differently again.

There was a lot of unburned fuel down the exhaust when fuel was cheap.
Pre mid 70's era.

Its been the development quite a few years now to comply with pollution
regulations.

Could be wrong!
