You could try fitting the gasket from the Ibiza 160 diesel
Its essentially a blanking plate but with a small hole in it. Cost about £3 from a dealer
Cheaper than a remap until you can save your pennies for an egr delete kit and a remap
ok, that sounds good, will this affect anything that might throw up an EML?
Do you have a part number? have looked online and cant seem to find any that don't list themselves as 'blanking' even though they have a tiny hole in the middle
