You gotta get the tube off the car and then soak it in carb cleaner or something like that and then just use a pick and keep chipping at it.

Make sure you clean out the plenum EGR port too - that is likely clogged too.

Do you have any pictures of the process on taking off the intake plenum and getting to the EGR guide Tube?

I've been having the dreaded 0302 CEL for the past couple of months. I'll reset it and eventually it comes back.
