Has anyone had an EGR delete?

If so, is there a kit you can buy to DIY.

Hello, and welcome along.
The EGR is there for good reason and should be retained.

 

[kendog91]

Some would argue that case I'm sure! Each to their own. I have always deleted it.

Plenty on here about EGR shunts which simulate the EGR to the ECU but actually shuts it off to stop all sorts of false error codes regarding boost, AIR, turbo and limp mode faults,,,,,,,

Why do you delete it?

 

[kendog91]

There are a few reasons ro why someone might remove the EGR.

• Improved Throttle Response.
• Improved Economy.
• Reduces Oil Contamination.
• Reduces Carbon Deposits in the engine

I asked why you delete it - not some mythical someone. Why do you delete it?

If that is what you want, why didn't you buy a petrol engined car?

Personal choice I guess...I do long journeys.

One positive to several negatives = a negative .

 

[kendog91]

No one has given any negatives yet, just gave their 10p worth.

Errr...other people's lungs?

That's would really have to depend on the person, whether it's a negative or positive.

I'm struggling to understand how increasing NOx from a car could be a positive thing to anyone breathing it in.

What is NOx?

NOx is the collective term for the nitrogen oxides NO and NO2, which are significant components of harmful air pollution.

Have a day off trigger. You obviously have no sense of humour.

I think people forget that it's not actually their car. This is my car and my personal preference. If I want to remove my egr then I will do so. I was simply weighing the options up.

One potential negative I guess is you can get a £1k fine.

It's no kit , just a software adjustment in the ecu software like so .

Gotta spend money somewhere

It isn't your money you're spending when butchering diesels is knocking the **** out of the secondhand market devaluing the cars 95% of forum members here own.
