EGR bypass poll following on from the black smoke thread

(1/5) > >>

jnoshea:
I've been following the black smoke thread which has sparked an interesting discussion of bypassing the EGR on the 300Tdi engine.  I'm interested in how many of us have disabled the EGR either by removing it completely or by disconnecting the cables...so here's a poll.  I couldn't put the poll in the defender forum at the same time but the question is obviously open to all 300Tdis.

davidlandy:
James, my EGR is still connected and looks intact, but I have inserted a steel solid blanking gasket between the valve and the manifold.

there wasnt an option for this so i clicked on the removed one.

Hightower:
You're so 300ist.  TD5's have EGR as well you know  :wink:

I've clicked on 'blanked', as that's what I did (similar to what Dave did).

thermidorthelobster:
Mine's still intact on a TD5, but I'm not sure if it's still working :)

It used to make a noise, and doesn't any more, so maybe it's broken of its own accord.

Why are people disconnecting them?  I thought they slightly improved emissions?  I could probably answer this by checking previous threads but I'm playing catch-up on thousands of threads  :oops:

Mace:
I've blanked mine too, except I've put the blanking plate at the t-joint on the intercooler to inlet hose. I couldn't remove the bolts on the manifold flange.
