Hi All,
I have had the EGR blanked for about 5K miles on my A4 1.9TDI, PD115bhp, the result being quicker pickup, better MPG and best of all a cleaner burn so no nasty clogging soot all over the turbo vanes which at 165000 miles had become a problem. The oil in the engine also stays much, and visibly cleaner, and there is no black smoke out of the exhaust when you blast off in it.
The only downside is apparently a hotter burn in the cylinders, which i guess in a diesel is not too bad.....and of course a bit more NOx.
I am wondering about blanking the EGR on the wifes 1.6Fsi to eliminate the future potential of manifold coking problem re occuring and generally clean things up.
I have no experience of blanking on petrol engines, would it throw fault codes? mine doesn't but then it is an old vacuum actuated version,
any one got any comments on possible detrimental effects?
cheers
