Hi all,


i have just just had my egr out and put a blanking in the location shown here:

The reason for my confusion is that every guide and example shows an egr with a square and oval shaped connection, where mine has 2 oval connections. Which should it go on?


i turned it on briefly and gave her some gas and there was no eml. But didn't go a run incase it's on in the wrong place.


much appreciated and thanks in advance.

After watching a particular video it looks as though it's the pipe on the bottom. But my screws are on the bottom making it near impossible for access. The one in the vid has them on the top and mine has 3 screws holding it in place not 4.

Why is this?

Thanks.

Am I right in saying if I blank the outlet the valve will still get clogged? It's pretty damn clogged at the moment so was going to blank it or give it a damn good clean.

Anyone blanked the end I have on a 120 CDTi?

Very helpful, thanks. When you say make sure it is before the egr, is mine in the right place?

Or do I blank off the bottom hose? Mine is looking pretty "gunky" around the outside of the hoses and everything so I'm going to clean it al. Just want to know where to put my plate so not to damage anything.

Can you run the car without remapping with eml on? Or is this not advised? I could take out plate and delete error from computer for mot etc.
