just took the top hose off going from the intercooler and put a sillicone hose on and put the blanking plate on where the pipe connected to the egr until i can find what todo about the hoses connected to it, one of the hoses is connected to the heater matrix bulkhead pipes which runs alng the head and the other comes off the water pump i was thinking of putting a pipe in between them and joining them together. since doing this i have noticed abit more power, and it's not so much of a pig between 40 an 52 when the torque converter kicks in. its a 300tdi auto. there are some photo's attached to show the part.
another egr removal

Must be a Japanese Import is it?
Having looked at the pictures again I would be inclined to work out a way of joing the two rubber hoses together to give continuity of the water circuit and then taking the valve off at the exhaust manifold, if you can get the manifold bolts undone ok.

yes classed as repatriated, when i first started to remove it at manifold got first bolt undone with impact driver then realised it would cause a problem with the 2 hoses so will sort it out soon. since i have changed the hoses for sillicone kit the 2 ends of the bottom hose of the intercooler and a straight through top hose for egr and blanked it off it seems abit louder is the normal
