5speedracer Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 I need advice on EGR which is both Auto and definitely Shite!I've an A180cdi and am considering EGR delete. Too modern to just blank off so have to go ECU route.Any recommendations and would I still be better blanking it after?If all goes to plan I'm hoping to run this until it's into proper Autoshite territory so look on any answers as futureproofing the forum.

dome Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I've looked into it on my e46 330d and its a bit of a pain in the ass as it'll throw up an eml light. If I do I'll be getting a delete kit and blanking it off completely, mainly to get clearer airflow into the engine. Although, at the same time as getting that programmed out I can get a cheeky remap. then maybe a decat. And then... You may have to delve into model specific forums to find out about yours.l though. I'm sure it'll be covered.
Joey spud Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Years back i blanked the egr on my focus with a plate that had 6mm hole in it.This was suposed to fool the ecu into thinking the egr was still functioning. It cured the intermittant sticking egr and smoke/loss of power but every now and again the engine system fault message is displayed and a p0400 code generated but no full mil light or lop There is a garage in maidstone called red oak who do a lot of egr delete mapping,may be worth a call just to see if its doable.
SiC Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Id be careful EGR blanking a modern diesels, even with a remap. Quite a few of them use the recirculated gasses to stop the turbine cooking itself.

Tried A class club but more they're more interested in syncing i-phones or go faster carbon! Sent from my X17 using Tapatalk
