I posted something here about this:-

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=37028.msg302347#msg302347

Some of the photo's have gone but I think there is still enough there to go on. I must try and find out what I did with the photo's.

or u could get rid of the egr as i had a faulty one so i needed a new one after alot of info of many helpfull members i went with a egr delete pipe as it less retrictive as gases arent sent round the system for a second burn(as far as i understand) b4 it fired out the exhaust.

took about 25 mins to fit then i had to redo the blocking plate as i put it on the exhaust pipe whixh then flapped around and snapped so i had to put it onto the manifold istself as the intructions had said lol. it up to u.

The best thing I found for cleaning it was a small brass wire brish and some solvent parts washer fluid from machine mart :afro:

EGR delete pipe could result in an MOT failure though.

Mine passed the last 2 MOT's with one and a full turbo back system

I wonder if it passed this year though  :lipsrsealed:

I doubt my old Golf passed it this year without some sort of favour being exchanged by the new owner and the MOT people  :lipsrsealed: :laugh: :laugh:
