egr valve blanking/emmission light

if i were to blank the egr valve off, would that not trigger a fault code and bring the emmision light on the dash? thereby fail it's mot (new rulings). i would like to blank it off as from what i'v read you can't lose but i'm worried about the light and as an mot tester i really aught to lead by example so want the car spot on. also the plate goes on the exhaust manifold? but what goes on the inlet to stop it sucking air?

forgot to put it's a td5

It won't throw any lights on a TD5

i put the full kit on my td5 which includes a metal pipe from the inlet manifold to the intercooler out let hose. no lights on dash and been through 2 mot`s.

There are lots or write ups on this forum have a quick search. Removing the EGR is a basic mod and cheap. I have removed it and been through MOT's with no problem. It will not throw up an error light.

it will not give u a warning on dash but if u dont disconnect the egr modulator u will have an "EGR valve stuck closed" fault code stored in the EEPROM ... which u can treat with impassivity if u want

why do you remove the egr valve?

the EGR valve in itself causes an obstruction to the airflow into the turbo and also over time will build up deposits of oil causing more of an obstruction. Do a search for EGR Valve and all will be explained and then some.Here is one fred.

is the egr modulator the same thing as the egr solonoid? which is located just behind the battery ( according to autodata )

I think so, yes

spiffing!!, is it any better to disconect plug to that and then blank the pipe to the egr or to remove the valve completly and fit the aftermarket pipe in its place as well

remove the EGR valve completly buy a kit for £30 and get it gone. It will improve the airflow into the engine.

as u wish... just take care to not lose vacuum

yeah, it'd be funny if i did then tried to stop whilst driving
