Nope - I know what killed mine and it wasn't a blanked EGR valve.
It was water pump failure, loss of coolant and poorly designed head that allows hot spots to develop.
more x 4:
you on a mission tim?
Tiny Tim:
Nah mate - could be loads asking if EGR has killed their heads ...
Just I ain't one of em :wink:
Now I'm wondering why mud keeps killing my alternator ? :evil:
Simon_Doc:
I have followed the EGR topics with interest.
I have the plate here, however have never fitted it because I didn't feel it necesary in my case. My Paj accelerates well, doesn't smoke beyond normal limits, climbs hills like a good un and hits 85 happily. This is what I'd expect it to do.
Being a firm believer in the theory "If it's not broke don't fix it" I haven't.
That being said. If I ever feel the need to fit the EGR I will get the Diesel pump re-timed and calibrated professionally to suit the setup.
Coming from the 2-Stroke age of motorcycles I know what mucking about with the induction / exhaust side of things can do if you do not re-calibrate the fuelling properly. Usually it requires walking home and a lot of expensive parts / machining afterwards!
Regards,
Simon
