EGR
« on: 13 May 2009, 17:08 »
Has anyone blanked off there egr valve?
Today i pulled the hose off and put a screw down the pipe, and put a cover over the end of the egr.
I did a little read up on what the egr dose, and it seems its not much use.  :huh:
Any thoughts on this? good times or bad times?

Thanks peeps.   :wink:

The egr is used to cut emissions and thats it.
I may get the delete pipe at some stage  :smiley:
