Did you blank it off fully or with a hole?

If there is a hole there is a chance the EML will stay off but then what is the point in the blanking plate?
If you put a full plate on, all I can think is that the EML will come on after 10 / 15 miles of driving

As for seeming quicker.. Yes
You are no longer putting exhaust gasses back into the mix, just Fuel and Air, so in theory it should be a bit quicker..

The downside however is it can smoke more as all the crap that used to go back into the inlet is now going out the exhaust

 

Had mine remapped out in Dec, not sure of any advantages to be honest as havent rolled it since.

 

You remapped out the function of the EGR?

 

I have straight blanked it I can code read myself it looks to smoke less tbh :s

What about mpg, does blanking worsen your mpg?

 

Been about 20miles still no eml
I have blanked before the valve would this make a difference??

I blanked mine yesterday and I haven't had the light come up either, done around 40 miles so far

 

Might depend where you blank it I don't really know

im going to try and get mine fitted this weekend

 

My EML light will stay on for weeks - then go off for a week or so and then come back on!

 

Are you blanked before or after the valve it's self??

 

Mines been blanked off now for over a year,no eml or fault codes in that time

Blanked off before the egr valve using the oval shaped blanking plate

 

Mines been on since Sunday and no light on and mine has a hole in the plate

 

That's right then, giving the sensors enough to think it's fine

 

I'm not Dibble but I am! Confused yet?! Lol. My surname is Kibble, hence Officer Dibble on the CB in the early days, hence Dibble to my mates etc now! Blanked off before the EGR, EGR left connected. Works fine

Info please!!

Hi Lads I know all about how the EGR system works on diesel engine and the blanking off options but this car is new to me and believe the EGR system is electronically controlled by the ECU, is this correct?

My last car was an MGZT CDTI 2.0 with the BMW M47R engine, I blanked the EGR off on this engine when car was just a year old with a bypass pipe and ran up to just over 90k with no problems at all but the EGR system was mechanical operated with a vacuum pump, no problems with limp mode or mil lights on etc, this removed the EGR valve completely, can this be done with the 1.9 unit?

Would one of you please give me the things I should be checking and any modifications I can do, there was loads for my last car like, EGR bypass, air intake mod, PCV, de-cat and tuning boxes etc.

I do not agree with the EGR system as diesel like to suck and blow unrestricted as possible, I will appreciate any heads up you can give me, thanks Steve

 

Unfortunately you cant remove it from the engine as it would leave big holes in the side of the block,

However blocking it off between the Exhaust and the EGR does the same thing.

The only downside is the Emission light that 90% of people suffer from

 

I'm lucky that i'm in that 10%

Putting the plate on is easy enough and it only cost me £3.65 off evilbay :thumbs:

 

I didn't even have to drive a mile for mine to show up

Hey Ho, its not really the end of the world

 

can you not stop the light from coming up with tech 2 ??

 

no as it will keep coming on as something is not right

 

you can't I'm afraid..

You can get your car remapped by people like Regal but it costs a stupid amount

 

oh my bad lol :lol:

 

i thought the same but daryl told me that it would keep coming back

 

im going to get an egr plate in the next couple of weeks so hopefully mine dont come on

 

Thanks lads for the advice and info, so it can be block off, thats good news but does anybody know if the ECU can be accessed via computer? i know if somebody has a Compatible unit things can be switched on and off via the ECU, Steve
