Hi thanks for the replies here’s some more pics I’ve took clamp back off and re fitted still smoke coming out should one pipe actually fit in side the other or just butt up to it because mines not quite long enough to fit inside by a few mill
The whole set up is wrong, the reason the pipe from the aftermarket EGR is most likely because it's to short, also you should not be using a cable tie to hold the hose on, it is part waiting to fail.

Why have you fitted an aftermarket EGR blank? any MOT technician worth his salt should spot the EGR solenoid hose has been blanked of and hanging down, which is a fail.
Why did you not clean out the original EGR and re-fit it if you wanted to go down the road of blanking the EGR then again use the original, gut it and blank the exhaust end job done and it looks original therefore pass any MOT.

I've been fitting these since late 2011early 2012.
Also just changing the EGR for a blank does not solve the gunked up manifold and MAP sensor. the manifold also needs to be cleaned out.

do you still have the old original EGR.?
The after market EGR should already be blanked at that point where the exhaust pipe joins the EGR, the only thing i can think off it's to short ?

Hi was spot on aftermarket egr blank was 5mm too short so wasn’t clamping properly had to take the egr blank off clamp it then re fit egr with a pull and bar must of been cheap aftermarket part to be short I’ll advise anyone to not go that way thanks a lot for help
Ok no problem, do you have a photo of how it's fitted now, because if the exhaust pipe as no support from the EGR then the concertina part may fail in near future.
I suspect that the plastic inlet manifold was giving issues on the auto, as the engine is working harder than in a manual. If the engine is working harder, then the exhaust gasses will be hotter, which isn't good for a plastic manifold.
Don't want to hijack the thread, but those are the cleanest EGRs i have ever seen. What are you using to clean them?The whole set up is wrong, the reason the pipe from the aftermarket EGR is most likely because it's to short, also you should not be using a cable tie to hold the hose on, it is part waiting to fail.

do you still have the old original EGR.?
Scrap out with old hacksaw blade use the back of the blade not the teeth part, then old tooth brush and some swarfega with the grit bits in it, wipe out with old rags, do this several times, finish off with brake cleaner.
Thanks. I'm going to make the effort to keep that and the manifold clean. See if it makes a difference.Scrap out with old hacksaw blade use the back of the blade not the teeth part, then old tooth brush and some swarfega with the grit bits in it, wipe out with old rags, do this several times, finish off with brake cleaner.
