EGR valve removal

cbrr3 · Jun 6, 2010

When I remove the EGR valve, what do I do with the two wire plug on the top, will it flag up any fault messages or cause any any other issues or do I tie wrap it away in a corner and forget about it?

Cheers
Rob

Did mine during the week using this kit.

300tdi EGR Blanking Kit on eBay (end time 11-Jun-10 10:42:04 BST)

Made for a tidy job.

A friend of mine gave me this one:

EGR Blanking Kit - all 300TDI

I see where it goes in but whats the benefits of blanking it off??

Stops the dirty oily exhaust gases clogging up the intercooler
Stops warm exhaust gases getting 'inhaled' by the engine, rather than cooler, higher O2 percentage fresh air.
Annoys the treehuggers.

What more could you want?

I put the blanking plate on and bolted the egr back up to it, at least then if mr mot tester looks to see if its there, it is, although not actually doing anything....

It is after the intercooler so clogs the inlet manifold instead and also all that lovely hot air goes straight into the inlet making the intercooler kind of pointless

MOT man doesn't care if its connected or not as long as smoke readings are good thats all that counts.

Only on part throttle as EGR is only used then, you may not notice it though. When i blanked mine the first thing i noticed was it almost completely stopped the shunting on low speed low load gear changes.
You may notice engine gets slightly noisier. May even find your fuel consumption gets slighly better.

......and according to EU regulations they have to read the NO3 concentration which is not affected by EGR................EGR >> imagine a man who's inhaleing his farths
