on motorway no pwer at all

right i not sure how to go about that ?? where get pipe and silly question, if there no need for egr why it on the car? or what does the allard pipe do as egr bypassed? is there a link for intructions?

cheers as this prob annoying and if i can solve it b4 needing to pay money for auto sparky to plug vagcom in at 40 quid a pop.

Its used to keep the emissions down and in the UK diesels arn't tested on emissions just a smoke test. So no need for it.

Guide - HERE

Buy one - HERE

Easy to fit.

Have you checked for a boost leak? Get someone to rev the car while you listen for whistling and blowing.

Because its quite abit of money for something that does nothing but hinder power -

Quote from Rhyso -

thanks to my monumental amount of torque  i had an expensive weekend when my intercooler hose popped off and destroyed the EGR housing meaning a new EGR plus fitting at a cost of £200

The open hose you can just put a few knots in and plug it with a screw or bolt.

hmmmm the guide is ok but not very detailed as seeing in situ, how it taken off and once put bk on so i prob leave this till after crimbo as shops open if any probs occur. will i need new manifold gaskets?

if auto sparky runns test will it show a fault code if the egr is cusing the prob? naming the egr as the culprit?

as i dont want to go changing alot of parts if fualt lies somewhere else and a fault point at say egr then i can get to solving it.

You don't need to take the manifold off its just showing you how. 3 bolts EGR off then 2 bolts and the exhaust manifold blanking plate on.

It prob will give somesort of code.

This will tell you a fault code and its handy to have just incase
