EGR removal **Now with pics** :)

It does look like it's at a funny angle don't it. Think I'll loosen it all again and have a play, see if i can get it sitting better. Yeah went for a quick drive early but not tested it properly yet

That's why I mentioned it 

I'd suggest giving it the full beans in case you need to head off somewhere like work.  I left it about a day before I test drove mine which left me in a panic as the pipe kept blowing off and it was 6pm on Sunday evening

I'd say that elbow needs some trimming off it at the delete pipe end to get it sitting right... the delete pipe is probably a bit bigger than the housing you've taken off

Could do, I'm gunna go and have a little play with it in a mo and see what needs to be done.

i was going to mention trimming one end of the hose as it looks kinked 
good work all the same and a nice new coolant bottle to  don't they look better compared to your old one removed

Looks like that 90deg pipe needs to be pushed further in toward the delete.

Was your egr clogged up at all??

Right loosened the jubille clip and wiggled the pipe and I straightened it up and got it on a bit further. Then took a trip to my private run way and did 3 runs taking 2nd and 3rd gear to 4k revs and all was fine. Almost got to 4k revs in 4th but started to run out of runway (it's only a little airfield  )

Engine felt a lot more solid and the mpg figures hardly moved where as before the figures were all over the place.

I'm loving the new coolant bottle too! Just need to tidy the rest of the engine bay up as well now. Should hopefully be able to do my gloss black roof and interior trim on wednesday so the car should look a little better soon.

Here is some pics of my EGR







Having never seen inside one before is this filthy or clean?

After loosening the jubilee I managed to get the pipe on further and now it looks better.

That looks 

Though I have seen worse but not much worse
