not sure what happened the but my mpg computer showed a noticable decrease compared to usual, when i just unplugged the pipe. I may try it again at some point and see what happens possible bung it with a golf tee this time.
:doh: you can't just leave the pipe open you will loose vac' and suck crap into the rest of the system:ban::)

Its not mileage its the conditions of running, short journeys made mine come on quicker. It will go out on its own but it will come back on. Long journeys made the light stay off longer

Mine only stayed on for 20mins or so, went back off on the way to the car wash. I've now sourced some hose clamps and popped one on, will be interesting to see if the CEL comes on now.

Here's a probable daft question...I haven't actually looked under the engine cover yet, but here goes:

There's a vacuum pipe, yes? That fastens on to the EGR valve (the "metal UFO")? Now, if I disconnect that, I've got an open pipe that I need to block up. If some of you are doing it with screws and golf tees, how do you manage to push the pipe back onto the EGR valve afterwards? Is it a case of forcing your object of choice so far into the pipe that it actually stretches, and the widest part of the blockage is actually inside the pipe rather than just being out the end of it? And if so, isn't that dangerous for the pipe?

if you use a small nail head just larger than the pipe bore, push in head first then just leaving 1/16" sticking out push back on EGR stub, wish i had a quid for each time I explained:headhurt:
