Default easy EGR cleaning?

Ive had a look on youtube and tried searching egr here which it wouldnt allow
but im getting conflicting information.

On a 2007 'new shape' V70, whats the best way to clean the egr with a reasonable cleaning ability. Anything else to clean whilst there? - i see some have rubber pipes, other have metal and plastic pipes, I need to go take the lid off and have a look at what ive got there.

I also saw some protect the wiring loom, any quick wins there without taking the loom out and re-wrapping it, in the egr area? The intake pipe sometime isnt attached and wobbles and the box underneath rubs against components and wears through - anything similar to this?

Ive seen egr sprays in the intake - worth doing?

Cheers

There's some info about cleaning the EGR and checking the wiring loom here:

If you're asking about the wiring loom in general, and not just near to the EGR, then in my experience you should check the wiring the feeds the injectors and camshaft position sensor as this can wear through due to sharp edges on the top cover.
