Reading some of the reports on blanking the EGR valve off it looks a good fix for £4, some people are reporting 60MPG and a smoother running motor with better turbo boost.

If you have trouble with the EML light coming on then they advise drilling a small hole in the centre of the plate to allow a small amount of the exhaust gas through to kid the computer that all's well. Seems Fords and Volvos are more prone to the light coming on tho, Peugeots rarely have bother. :shock:

that either cancels out the benefit of still puts the EML, the EML isnt a test failure YET, but all you need do is buy a code reader (£20) and take the plate off before a test and clear the fault/EML

some cars can have the EGR, CAT and DPF removed and the ECU programmed to not notice

They pass ours round here with the EML light on, mind you they'll pass anything as long as it's got 4 wheels.

Even goin' to all that trouble is still cheaper than £240.00+fitting for a new egr that will only last 50k miles or so. :wink:

I've been talking to a lad round here who fitted one 6 months ago, he's as happy as a pig in the brown stuff.

one certain way to find out...

if you do though, invest in a code reader so you can read/clear fault codes

Yes should do. I asked for a plate that suited the RHK engine which yours should be if it's 2008. Mine is a late 2008 58 plate.

Blanked off the EGR yesterday. Cab runs much smoother with less turbo lag. Turbo seems to spool up quicker. No surge when on light throttle in 5th gear which was a pain. Oh....and no EML light on. Covered 200 miles last night with no problems, if anything was gonna show up it would have done so by now methinks. 8)
