EGR delete pipe on a 130bhp passat S???
Discussion
I've heard mixed stories about this. It is quite common to buy a blanking plate instead of replacing the EGR valve and some say it loses power but improved MPG and vice versa. What you have to ask yourself is if it is surplus to requirements, then why did VW make them with them fitted?
The VAG group spend millions on designing cars for harry hackers to 'adapt' them doesn't ring true in my opinion. I'm sure if they could get more power and better MPG they'd have done it in the first place wouldn't they?
And where does the excess gases go if you're blanking up the EGR?
That should give you something to think about.

Actually, a lot of what the OEM do are to achieve emissions targets on their horrible disease ridden diesels. MPG and performance now come second to those rules.The VAG group spend millions on designing cars for harry hackers to 'adapt' them doesn't ring true in my opinion.

And if you blank the EGR, they go out the exhaust, where they should !! apart from the gases poisoning everyone.
And some cars will throw a wobbler when you interfere with the EGR because there is now less recirc air, and more fresh air passing through the MAF which it has detected and can say it isnt happy via a CEL !

EGR is mainly for emissions and some reciculate to help the engine warm up faster, other that that The VAG group spend millions on designing cars for harry hackers to 'adapt' them doesn't ring true in my opinion.

they reduse the MPG and can cause the inlet manifold to get clogged with oil/carbon
it also pollutes the engine oil , however a lot of EGR valves sense exhaust flows
and will put the MIL light on and ecu into limp mode if they are blanked so to get the benifit you may need a remap which will optimise timing for power and economy at the expense of slighty higher emissions....

just looking some advice on weather or not to go ahead with this after it was suggested by a mate
what are the benefits and are there any drawbacks to the car in terms of performance, reliability
thanks
I just did my work van, slighty better on fuel seems to have more low end power and more resposive at low revs ,what are the benefits and are there any drawbacks to the car in terms of performance, reliability
thanks
should make it more reliable as no valve to stick and the engine will run cleaner , you may need a remap as some EGR sense flow or lack of it and put the mil light on and or into limp mode...
I've always replaced or cleaned the EGR but then I'm in the trade and want to make money but had such mixed responses about blanking them off I've been reluctant to try it just in case it comes back to bite me on the arse. I'd consider it on my own motor but then I'd never own a diesel car. Gimme a big arsed naturally aspirated petrol any day. You just can't beat a high rised Toyota Hi-Lux 4x4 with a Rover V8 squeezed in for good measure. lol
Thanks for all the feed back, the egr on my car must need a good clean(or replaced) as the valve isnt opening and closing right. at the minute im gonna go ahead with it, I'm 19 so the thought of more power and better mpg turns me on lol and if lights start to pop up on the dash I don't think i'll ever have a better excuse for a remap. i'll be sure and let you know how I get on. thanks
