hi,,that is a nice job you done their ,it came up well ,i gave mine a clean but not as good as that,the car will run fine now,job well done,,

check to see that it has not come loose from its mounting,,if it has put it back and some insulation tape tight around it to stop it coming loose again,if it has not come loose while you are their take it off and bring it with you when you are getting the new one so you can get the same one,,good luck,and take care,,,,,

HI, had the same problem with the egg smell,have you tried to scan for fault codes, or pending codes,mine was the EGR valve. that could be something to do with it,sometimes it can get stuck with carbon ,hope you get it sorted out soon, all the best
