Look at all the dirt in your intake manifold and you know EGR is totally stupid. Had it cleaned, EGR blanked, ECU remaped on a 2016 3.2l Ford. Works like a charm, no raise in engine temperature, no fault code, awesome torque and power.
Well, i did some experiments on my truck, a Renault Midlum 220 DCi, that comes with an EGR valve, but from factory, the engine breather, is venting from a pipe to outside the engine, not to the intake manifold. First test: i did a visual inspection on the intake manifold, and i was very surprised to see that it was not as dirty as i was expecting, for a truck with 865k kilometers. Even the MAP sensor was not clogged up, so i decided not to clean the thing and i just put the MAP sensor back on. Second test: i did a full EGR blank, and this was a wrong move, on idle, the engine sound good, no shaking and no abnormal sounds. but on acceleration it was a nightmare, no power at all, it sounded terrible, like backfiring. does not show any kind of errors on the display. so i remove the blank. Third test: Installed an EGR blank, with an initial hole of 9mm, and same result as before, no power/very rough. increased the size to 12mm, got engine working as intended, good power and no more bad sounds. Fourth test: since the EGR on this truck is controlled with an air pressure line, i plug the line to see the result, and here i just don't know how does the EGR operate on the truck. With no air control on the EGR, the truck does not seem affected, it has the normal engine power, sounds great and does not show any kind of errors on the display This was only a test i decided to make, to see the state of the intake manifold, and to see how modifications to the EGR looked like, i did not perform any kind of ECU remap during the tests. the truck is running with the stock configurations (no EGR blank's, intake manifold cleaning or ECU remap's)
The video would have had greater credibility if you had actually tried the EGR blocking plate and been able to comment on pros and cons based on your actual experience. For me, my actual experience was with a 2013 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI, and it was entirely positive. A slight but noticeable improvement in fuel economy, and throttle response, and no noticeable ill effects whatsoever. Long term there will be greatly reduced sludge build up in the intake manifold also.
The discussion is basically only about mapping really - all turbo diesel engines worked fine without EGR type systems - the real question is why have an air filter if you are going to chuck handful's of grinding paste ( exhaust soot and oil ) into the engine after the air filter - at the end of the day an engine with clean air going inlet manifold will inherently last longer QED
a good discussion around the issue, I would say the older EGRs were more 100% open or close design and based on activation when warm and on over-run, blanking these off was a good option. Newer cars that have the fuel balancing algorithms based on a set percentage of EGR flow are a different story, having them mapped out professionally would be a good idea so the tuning is based on the EGR running closed. Plugging in diagnostics will let you watch how your EGR runs and get a feel for if the EGR is actuating through normal running.
I have a Pajero Dakar 2013 3.2, DIESEL, it has already been done two decarbonizations and it presented Error P2413, EGR dirty, the mechanic advised me to replace it because it has been used for ten years, but it is very expensive, I decided to isolate the EGR, it presented error P0299 (Turbine or air sensor) but everything is perfect, this error had never appeared before isolating, The car didn't lose power.
I love everyone talking about increasing combustion temperatures, but noone tells it reduces flame temperature, and not engine heat load, its even reduced because how much cool air circulates through the enginre
I have a 2017 canyons diesel. Drove it home from the dealership and for 2months the best I could get at 65mph was 25mpg. Did the delete and remapping I average 34-36. When towing as low as 21-24. There is no environmental benefits to an egr/def when I am burning 23-30% more fuel to get to the same place.
Thats incorrect. You are producing a LOT more dangerous emissions that effect people's health. Increased fuel use only increase CO2 emissions, which is an entirely seperate issue.
@@froggy0162you may need to read his statement again. You didn't understand what he said. Take a deep breath and read again. Just to help you you out, he is burning 30% less fuel than before. And the problem with diesel is not CO2. It's nox and particular matter. Which is very low due electronic fuel injection and DPF. To reduce the combustion temperature the best is noz.
My 1.9tdi Audi has 321000km's , did a egr delete at about 140000kms, no issues. My VW 2.0Tdi has just reached 189000 kms and the EGR/EGR cooler has failed. So will probably be doing EGR delete. Seen some EGR coolers with exhaust gas circuit almost totally blocked with suit
EGRs and lower combustion rations help keep NOX levels down. That is a pro. Ppl who inhale too much NOX (usually in towns & cities) loose brain power and make silly statements.
This only causes debate and disagreement because most people are sheep. In their minds, the argument of whether or not the egr is good for the car doesn’t come into it; the only argument in there mind is: “Is this legal?” And, because most people believe the law and morality are the same, they also believe that egr deletion is not only a legal violation but a moral one too. These people get very emotional and irrational and cannot be reasoned with.
I have seen guys do a good provent catch can and there is still heaps of crud in intake from egr. Hopfully the tunes are good to remove egr haha i have just have one done on a 2021 hilux. Doing the catch can soon
Many have said that high running temperature will destroy your engine, surely your thermostat will open sooner to counter the increased temp. I found my vehicle runs far more efficiently from a standing start. One thing for sure is the heater temp gets to efficiency within 2 1/2 mins, but the running temp remains the same. 1996 Nissan Mistral.
@@DaSpedza gday..appreciate your channel. I have an 85 toyota 2ct turbo diesel. Just giving it a birthday..valve clearances etc. I was considering deleting the egr. As it is pre ecu what tuning adjustment is needed please as i love the old girl and plan to keep it for another 10 years. Cheers Mike. Just fitted an intercooler and catch can as well. Onya
@@DaSpedzagiven that an EGR valve will only open in low load situations, the combustion temperatures are not going to be particularly high anyway, even without exhaust gas recirculation.
Difference is 200000+miles blanked and still has high compression vs 200000- using egr gas recirculation and no compression with worn out rings guides etc. Engines were never designed to reburn their exhaust gas. Only governments with rules for them and one for us do that without bothering about premature failure of a carbon clogged engine adding to the pollution eventually enyway. Better to keep it running as clean as possible with regular oil changes and no carbon recirculation.
They will maybe stop 20% if returned to the combustion chamber where it will continue to deplete with each combustion as the chamber gets contaminated more with each compression stroke as well the cold air intake passages will continue to fill up with carbon and other contaminants. Kind of like a chain smoker's airway.
We just drill a couple holes in the modern diesels DPF filter and we Remap the EGR and its duty cycle out and the EGT’s are lower than before and the Lambdas all read perfect AFR’s afterwards. The problem with the EGR valve is soot yes, but thats not what the real issue is. They claim to bring down EGT’s thus allowing a cleaner burn and lower Nox levels however…..this is only true whilst the EGR is functioning correctly, and closing fully! With soot build up being pretty quick on diesels, they stop closing all the way, the motor loses its calibration point, Then you have a boost leak, now the engines running rich and EGT’s start to creep up pretty quick from the excess fuel, dpf filter starts to prematurely block up causing excessive regenerations and thus advancing the timing pouring fuel in the exhaust system to get the EGT’s to a ridiculous 500/700 degrees before it will start the DPF regen process. Only then does it start chucking out plooms of nox rich soot dense emissions from the exhaust for everyone to gulp down a bigger dose at a time. Your engine oil begins to dillute rapidly from all the automatic regens thinning out the oil at the same time with bore wash whilst regenerating the dpf and causing premature engine wear. EGR valves are a terrible design in my opinion they cause the engine to run poor and not efficient in the longer term, they were actually designed to improve fuel economy bu lower combustion chamber heat which allows the engine to compress the fuel longer creating more bang per buck per say. But again this is only while the egr is new, shortly after all that goes out the window. And your now left with an extra soot filled inlet manifold that now has the lung capacity of a chain smoker. Running richer by the day! 😂 Cap it, map it and get rid. Run some T stroke in your fuel for a while afrer and it will get that manifold like new again!!
@@vincegiulittoWhat vehicle do you have. We use various tools, read the ECU software and remove the EGR duty cycle and any associated P codes related to EGR and EGR flow. No more recieculating soot throught the engine.
@@brett639 If its not already leaking. Depends what year all EGR’s are different some cant have blanking plates so a clean and map shut via removing its duty cycle is normally enough to cure. But remember if you have a dpf fitted mapping out the egr will cause the dpf to fail its regenerations in most cases, a few models will complete regens with egr deleted however due to the difference in pressure with the egr locked shut your and more soot direct to the DPF, it will start to regenerate more often. So we always remove the egr and dpf together. Dpf filter must be removed from the exhaust if you remove dpf software.
What I love is when people hold a blanking plate like yours and talk that it's bad. If toyota had their way, that would be the size of the egr pipe to begin with. That's all it needs to reduce temps and nox lol. Government morons demanded they be the huge size they are. Which is what is causing all the issues. Putting in a 6 to 8mm hole plate, with a catch can is the best thing you can do. Also in regards to your exhaust question. Come with me, and come clean some steam locomotive boiler tubes. Will get that idea clear out of your head. I have seen plenty of diesels with just the catch can with clogged up intakes.
No, its the government mandating what the emissions levels must be, which is informed by the science of what the pollution does to people's health. Its entirely up to the manufactures as to how they meet that standard.
I have a 2005 ford transit, the solid pipe that goes into egr has broken off at the valve. If I unplug vacuum will this fix the problem of rough idle and loss of power or do I just need to fix it😅
Cool video, very informative .. have a Q.. is 2004 1.9 tdi 130hp VW engine old diesel or conceder as new?? I have a oil Leaking from my egr and came across the delete option. Thanx
I have a 2004 Audi A4 1.9Tdi AVF - did a egr delete 10 years ago no issue. I bet the EGR you are talking about is the anti shudder valve , they leak in the shaft seal
my egr is on or off, deleting the hose so it doesnt work and blocking plate still get a fault code which in Delphi system retards my injector timing, how would I fix this on a Terracan 2.9 CRD.....my intake was a little blocked so cleaned
When you use full throttle that’s when the most amount fuel is being injected into the cylinder so causing the most heat the egr is closed. So how does blanking them cause the piston to crack from heat.
Hello friend, I have a short mechanical prado 98 with 1kz-te, will you have any experience with that engine? I am planning to install an 8mm diameter plate, I have the turbo outside for maintenance and I want to take advantage of that modification.
Love your channel - honest advice. Are you a local mechanic? Can we get our cars serviced by you? LC200 owner as well. Saw one of your videos driving around Dorset Rd & Boronia Rd so I know your near me.
1kd i removed for some time but the turbo starts spinning fast and squealing sound start over 120km but again that speed egr should be closed . But i think the intake is high leaving the ecu to open vnt more wider .
Hey mate, I have a 2004 D22 Navara with the 3 litre turbo diesel and has problems with it being super sluggish. I decided to pull the egr apart to see if it had a blanking plate which it did. I decided to remove the blanking plate and not only is the car no where near as sluggish as it was was, the engine runs smoother and quieter and also doesn't shake so violently when I turn it off. Can you please explain why this is when the egr block is supposedly meant to be better for the car?
Pre common rail engines with vac operated EGR units just blank them off completely. Isuzu and Mitsi's are the ones that suffer the most from a dying or dead EGR. Have removed complete EGR systems from many many vehicles over the last 30years and never had an issue. Admittedly on non-common rail engines as I wont touch them. If the EGR valve has an electrical plug on the top fit a plate with a 6-8mm hole in it. Dont use alloy plates, 316 stainless is the only way to go. As for catch cans: the can needs to be 1/2 the literage of your engine. TD 42 needs a 2 litre catch can. And 1/4 - 1/2 fill the can with lathe turnings or stainless pot scrubbers. The oil tube goes down to the stainless wool but as the fumes try to rise it gets caught amongst the stainless wool/lathe turnings. Fitted one to my TD42 in a SWB Safari. Bought with 96,000kms sold with over 800,000kms. Never had the head off, never had anything more than the tiniest amount of oil or crap in the inlet manifold. I ran Castrol Turbomax oil in it. Pulled injectors once a year and threw a new set of nozzles in them as they are so ridiculously cheap. Had a turbo one after and did same thing but removed the EGR system. Never had one single issue with that engine after EGR delete and catch can fitted except the front seal of the injector pump which can be done in place.
2009 Navara is the D40 if I recall correctly. They may have boost issues when the egr is blanked because they were known for doing that aswell as fault codes displayed. I hope this helps.
Egr work more often at low revs town driving. Under load and towing or highway speed it mostly off anyway Catch can is the better way to sort 90% of the crud buildup. Good one
Put a large can on with the most baffling that you can fit in it use 1" ID tubing in and out do not kink the line or cause any restrictions to the exhaust gasses. As the can is a collector of all that engine sewage I don't recommend plumbing it back to the intake. That will affect the cleanest air-fuel ratio possible. lowering HP and MPG. Just my take. It's up to the individual. But the cleanest possible combustion will give you the least emissions
The cracked pistons from blanking the EGR is a result of the tune not the blank plate. Hilux 1KD FTV are prone to cracked pistons from tunes. It's not from the plate. You are correct about a plate throwing a code on particular diesels. I put a 7mm plate on my 07 1kdftv Hilux after doing a full EGR and manifold clean and it throws the P0400 EGR code. So I'm now removing it as I refuse to risk cracked pistons from deleting and tuning or remap. What really annoys me is when Tuning shops recommend EGR deletes on these vehicles and deny that there would be issues when there's evidence to prove otherwise. I disagree with your comment about never having to clean your Exhaust system. This is incorrect. I cleaned mine at 160,000km in 2022 and it was caked with carbon. You WILL need to clean it during it's life, there is no if, buts or maybes about it, otherwise you'll just end up on the side of the road. Period.
@@vedranbitcoin2827 thank you very much for your answer. I will try delete by ECU, but I read and heard that it might melt a piston, the head o turbocharger . So remapping is the solution?
If you want to remove the Egr safest way to do it is a remap. Blanking plates and unplugging the egr are just blanket fixes until it’s remapped. Some vehicles unplugging the egr will put it into limp mode. So the most efficient and safest way to prevent engine damage is a remap. Hope this helps.
Mine a 1997 model Pajero/Shogun Mitsubishi EGR may engine knock at 3k rpm that is why I delete it but not totally but this model have a solenoid valve I that vacuums the EGR actuator I just add switch to the solenoid valve if I want the EGR activated for a cooler combustion.
I think most diesels would benefit from an egr delete or remap. But we need independent lab tests to say for sure. Each engine is different and the argument won’t be settled by anecdotal evidence.
the exhaust gas that is returned is sent back via a heat exchanger that is integral with the EGR system in order to reduce its temperature and thus cylinder temps
Seems you’re mainly addressing Diesel Engines. What would be of interest in this conversation is the ‘claimed’ benefit of the EGR removal/blocking. Wouldn’t a custom designed Camshaft , maybe different Spark-Plug heat range,be much more beneficial? In my ,admittedly, limited experience tinkering with cars, seemingly simple, cheap and advertised “Miracles” they hardly ever deliver and many times have unintended consequences.
I said both options because if you want to EGR delete then ECU map is the most effective way to go. However it’s not recommended as it has it’s own set of complications involved some of which can do irreversible damage so do it at your own risk.
Old video i know but ill answer the temp issue. Trucks do not have throttle body what happens is your throttle body is closing promoting egr circulation if you block the egr and your throttle body is closing airflow decreases temps rise.... pretty simple.
Ive done probably about 15k i had my car apart a month or so ago when I changed the map filter and I pulled the top hat off and checked it then, Just a dry light coating of soot. However I didn’t film it. From checking cars in the workshop however the best way to describe what the intake’s look like after 30k-60k after having the intake previously cleaned and a catch can fitted that entire time is pretty much identical to the inside of your exhaust system. A light coating of dry diesel soot. I have seen some of the cars that still must have had some residual oil in either the intercooler etc and you have patches where the soot started to build. Mostly however it’s just a light coating and doesn’t get much worse than that. Hope this helps.
What is the point in adding a blanking plate that has a hole in it The whole point in blanking the erg value is to eliminate exhaust gas entering back into the intake But with a big hole in the blank plate that is not going to happen
There is evidence to show it does work as it allows enough exhaust gas’s into the engine whist keeping the soot down to a minimum. If you haven’t tried it, you can’t have a credible opinion.
The engine is designed to completely close the egr when adding more gas, it opens it only when you are cruising. Why would it be a problem for the engine not to get smoke at low revs, it certainly cools then, it heats up only when you press the gas and then it certainly closes the egr! There's not much logic in that...

Cool video, very informative .. have a Q.. is 2004 1.9 tdi 130hp VW engine old diesel or conceder as new?? I have a oil
Leaking from my egr and came across the delete option. Thanx
I have a 2004 Audi A4 1.9Tdi AVF - did a egr delete 10 years ago no issue. I bet the EGR you are talking about is the anti shudder valve , they leak in the shaft seal
my egr is on or off, deleting the hose so it doesnt work and blocking plate still get a fault code which in Delphi system
retards my injector timing, how would I fix this on a Terracan 2.9 CRD.....my intake was a little blocked so cleaned
When you use full throttle that’s when the most amount fuel is being injected into the cylinder so causing the most heat the egr is closed. So how does blanking them cause the piston to crack from heat.
If your EGR is an electronic operated leave it if it is mechanical operated via vacum just unplug the vacum hose
Good day
What about blocking a egr on a H1 Hyundai 2011 model 2.5 cdri
Diesel engin.
Thank you would appreciate the info.
Hello friend, I have a short mechanical prado 98 with 1kz-te, will you have any experience with that engine? I am planning to install an 8mm diameter plate, I have the turbo outside for maintenance and I want to take advantage of that modification.
Love your channel - honest advice. Are you a local mechanic? Can we get our cars serviced by you? LC200 owner as well. Saw one of your videos driving around Dorset Rd & Boronia Rd so I know your near me.
1kd i removed for some time but the turbo starts spinning fast and squealing sound start over 120km but again that speed egr should be closed . But i think the intake is high leaving the ecu to open vnt more wider .
Great video thank you. I have a question.... i want to delete My 2009 Pajero Sport egr would this be the old or new common rail engines
Being 2009 i would probably say it’ll be a older common rail.
Hey mate, I have a 2004 D22 Navara with the 3 litre turbo diesel and has problems with it being super sluggish.
I decided to pull the egr apart to see if it had a blanking plate which it did.
I decided to remove the blanking plate and not only is the car no where near as sluggish as it was was, the engine runs smoother and quieter and also doesn't shake so violently when I turn it off.
Can you please explain why this is when the egr block is supposedly meant to be better for the car?
because it wasnt mapped out
You’re so clueless 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi u state removal how do u remove it ,i understand blocking off but whe other ways can u delete it.?
This video made me decide not to install my blanking plates on LC200 and ill be installimg a catch can instead
Is dry or oily soot more abrasive? Reduce both minimizes the bad.
Lubricated carb is less abrasive, but both are
No reason to use a carb on a modern car
Pre common rail engines with vac operated EGR units just blank them off completely. Isuzu and Mitsi's are the ones that suffer the most from a dying or dead EGR. Have removed complete EGR systems from many many vehicles over the last 30years and never had an issue. Admittedly on non-common rail engines as I wont touch them.
If the EGR valve has an electrical plug on the top fit a plate with a 6-8mm hole in it.
Dont use alloy plates, 316 stainless is the only way to go.
As for catch cans: the can needs to be 1/2 the literage of your engine. TD 42 needs a 2 litre catch can. And 1/4 - 1/2 fill the can with lathe turnings or stainless pot scrubbers. The oil tube goes down to the stainless wool but as the fumes try to rise it gets caught amongst the stainless wool/lathe turnings. Fitted one to my TD42 in a SWB Safari. Bought with 96,000kms sold with over 800,000kms. Never had the head off, never had anything more than the tiniest amount of oil or crap in the inlet manifold. I ran Castrol Turbomax oil in it. Pulled injectors once a year and threw a new set of nozzles in them as they are so ridiculously cheap. Had a turbo one after and did same thing but removed the EGR system. Never had one single issue with that engine after EGR delete and catch can fitted except the front seal of the injector pump which can be done in place.
Hello is Nissan Navara (Frontier) 2009 is an old diesel ? And can be EGR blanked ?
2009 Navara is the D40 if I recall correctly. They may have boost issues when the egr is blanked because they were known for doing that aswell as fault codes displayed. I hope this helps.
Egr work more often at low revs town driving. Under load and towing or highway speed it mostly off anyway
Catch can is the better way to sort 90% of the crud buildup.
Good one
Not for a Ford, even on the highway it's still open 20%
i have installed 1.5mm thick aluminium plate, Is it ok to use aluminium plate ?
Exactly right i agree a catch can is the best option
Put a large can on with the most baffling that you can fit in it use 1" ID tubing in and out do not kink the line or cause any restrictions to the exhaust gasses. As the can is a collector of all that engine sewage I don't recommend plumbing it back to the intake. That will affect the cleanest air-fuel ratio possible.
lowering HP and MPG. Just my take. It's up to the individual. But the cleanest possible combustion will give you the least emissions
The cracked pistons from blanking the EGR is a result of the tune not the blank plate. Hilux 1KD FTV are prone to cracked pistons from tunes. It's not from the plate.
You are correct about a plate throwing a code on particular diesels. I put a 7mm plate on my 07 1kdftv Hilux after doing a full EGR and manifold clean and it throws the P0400 EGR code. So I'm now removing it as I refuse to risk cracked pistons from deleting and tuning or remap. What really annoys me is when Tuning shops recommend EGR deletes on these vehicles and deny that there would be issues when there's evidence to prove otherwise.
I disagree with your comment about never having to clean your Exhaust system. This is incorrect. I cleaned mine at 160,000km in 2022 and it was caked with carbon. You WILL need to clean it during it's life, there is no if, buts or maybes about it, otherwise you'll just end up on the side of the road. Period.
You’re so ignorant this is why they need better education in other countries here in America we are not ignorant everyone deletes everything 0 issues
Try a larger hole, 10mm or 12 if that doesn't work.
Definitely deleting my egr!
If EGR is deleted in an Amarok V6 2022, will it melt the head or pistons, or would you recommend the plate with a hole? Or just leave it as is?
Put blanking plate and unplug electrical cable from egr. You will get check engine light but it will run perfect.
@@vedranbitcoin2827 thank you very much for your answer. I will try delete by ECU, but I read and heard that it might melt a piston, the head o turbocharger . So remapping is the solution?
If you want to remove the Egr safest way to do it is a remap. Blanking plates and unplugging the egr are just blanket fixes until it’s remapped. Some vehicles unplugging the egr will put it into limp mode. So the most efficient and safest way to prevent engine damage is a remap. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much
@@vedranbitcoin2827 can u ranger go in to limp mode if u do that.?
I know many people who remove it the car engine oil always stay like petrol engine oil! That’s a big thing your engine will last longer
Mine a 1997 model Pajero/Shogun Mitsubishi EGR may engine knock at 3k rpm that is why I delete it but not totally but this model have a solenoid valve I that vacuums the EGR actuator I just add switch to the solenoid valve if I want the EGR activated for a cooler combustion.
Who puts the egr on a switch you’re special
Good information , thanks for sharing
I think most diesels would benefit from an egr delete or remap. But we need independent lab tests to say for sure. Each engine is different and the argument won’t be settled by anecdotal evidence.
the exhaust gas that is returned is sent back via a heat exchanger that is integral with the EGR system in order to reduce its temperature and thus cylinder temps
I never said having the egr increase’s the combustion temps. I said not having the egr without a tune increases the combustion temps.
@@DaSpedza I know you did not state it, that's why I did so if anyone blocks there egr then expect higher combustion temps
EGR in colder states are a good invention. In hotter states like RSA or AUS it is a waste of time...
Seems you’re mainly addressing Diesel Engines. What would be of interest in this conversation is the ‘claimed’ benefit of the EGR removal/blocking.
Wouldn’t a custom designed Camshaft , maybe different Spark-Plug heat range,be much more beneficial?
In my ,admittedly, limited experience tinkering with cars, seemingly simple, cheap and advertised “Miracles” they hardly ever deliver and many times have unintended consequences.
What about EGR delete with ECU remap ??
In a comment below he said that a remap is the best way to go. But then at 9:22 he says not to do it. Dude is all over the place.
I said both options because if you want to EGR delete then ECU map is the most effective way to go.
However it’s not recommended as it has it’s own set of complications involved some of which can do irreversible damage so do it at your own risk.
Thanks Mate Wise Words!👍
Old video i know but ill answer the temp issue. Trucks do not have throttle body what happens is your throttle body is closing promoting egr circulation if you block the egr and your throttle body is closing airflow decreases temps rise.... pretty simple.
After cleaning your intake how many kms have you done since fitting your catch can. Would love you to do a video on what your intake looks like
Thanks
Ive done probably about 15k i had my car apart a month or so ago when I changed the map filter and I pulled the top hat off and checked it then, Just a dry light coating of soot. However I didn’t film it.
From checking cars in the workshop however the best way to describe what the intake’s look like after 30k-60k after having the intake previously cleaned and a catch can fitted that entire time is pretty much identical to the inside of your exhaust system. A light coating of dry diesel soot. I have seen some of the cars that still must have had some residual oil in either the intercooler etc and you have patches where the soot started to build. Mostly however it’s just a light coating and doesn’t get much worse than that. Hope this helps.
main fail on ford everest. egr causing complete engine fails. so confused now
Unless the engine is tuned to function without it, don't go blocking it off without knowing the risks
Thanks good content. You said it is OK to put a plate in an older diesel. What kind/year of vehicle is considered a new vs old diesel?
Pretty much anything pre common rail is considered “Old”
for a toyota hilux 2001-2005 you don't need it just rip it out and she's good no need to re map or anything there fine.
Thank you!
What is the point in adding a blanking plate that has a hole in it
The whole point in blanking the erg value is to eliminate exhaust gas entering back into the intake
But with a big hole in the blank plate that is not going to happen
There is evidence to show it does work as it allows enough exhaust gas’s into the engine whist keeping the soot down to a minimum. If you haven’t tried it, you can’t have a credible opinion.
Have to delete eletrônic and físical
Can i blank the EGR without blanking the DPF?
It's cheaper and easier to blank off Ranger PX2 EGR then replace the cracked one. I
Ranger/bt50, wgr fails, leaks and kills engine.
Dammed either way
The engine is designed to completely close the egr when adding more gas, it opens it only when you are cruising. Why would it be a problem for the engine not to get smoke at low revs, it certainly cools then, it heats up only when you press the gas and then it certainly closes the egr! There's not much logic in that...
Split EGR Cooler cost me 12k for a new engine… EGR Baaaaaad
Define older or newer cars
If you don’t want exhaust get an ev..egr sucks, catch can filter is $80 a change..
Great video mate, fact is the engine is designed with an EGR. I wouldn't mess with it also.
When your engine eats its own crap. How is it possibly better for the engine. Soot = dead engine
2007 Volkswagen. Just unplug it.
Bull shit! Delete the EGR valve.
Too much talk from a ‘handsome’ face - much better to look at the EGR components and do it then come back later with some post deflect review
Great debate and informative 👍
EGR DPF DELITE 💪💪💪
