EGR delete advice

[KarlB1]

I know this should technically be in the TDi tuning section...but technically it can go here too

Right, thinking of doing an EGR delete and basically want a walk through/ advice.

Obvious fact is that it's a straight pipe going in place of the EGR valve which is held on by 3 bolts blah blah blah.

Couple of bits I'm unsure about..

1-EGR cooler pipe work. I've seen delete kits for this lot as well..confused me slightly as I don't know if I need to remove anything else.

2-ASV- obviously I'll lose the anti shudder valve, has anybody had any issues with this? Drawbacks in the long term side of things?

3- what is actually removed? Eg-do I literally just remove the EGR valve and bolt the new pipe on, or do I need to remove cooler pipe work.

4-vacuum pipes. Do I need to plug/remove these or is there somewhere for them to go on the Allards or Darkside kit?

5-EML from this-guessing I can just clear the fault code and it'll stay off with my Liquid Gauge? Or will I need to reduce the EGR value in VCDS?

Thanks!

i left everything how it was but had the egr deleted in mapping

I've got an Allard delete pipe on mine

the metal clamp that goes into the egr i cut off, dont cut the actual pipe just the clamp as that pipe fits over the end of the delte pipe.

yes you need to remove the cooler and get a blaking plate to blank off at the manifold. You just use the same bolts from the cooler though

ive had no problems loosing the ASV but it does make for a bit of a rougher shutdown

with vaccum pipes i just sparky taped up the ends or you could put a bolt in the end of them.

EML will come up and can be coded out using VCDS, just deleting the fault code doesnt work it will come back up again

hope that helps a bit mate

Cheers guys
So in regards to removing the cooler, what is it I'm actually removing? Is it easy to do?

I know some people keep everything in place and just clean the EGR and use VCDS to turn the value all the way down, is this essentially the same thing?

its the pipe connected onto the bottom of the egr valve just follow it back to the manifold and remove it from there then buy a blank and blank it at the manifold simples

You could do it that way but then you wouldnt have a nice shiney bit of pipe

My EML Comes on now & then, do anyone on here know where i could have this coded out by VCDS in south wales or i will be very happy to buy VCDS & do it myself (As long as someone can give me information on how to do it!) Thanks.

Does that pipe not just carry the reused gas from the manifold to the egr?

Best way imo^

think its about £50 at darkside developments
