With the recent MOT changes I beleive an EML showing is a fail?
If so is it possible to delete the EGR from the 2.0 BKD ECU map/software?
Mine has had an EGR fault forever, drives perfectly well and of coure we all know that the EGR does bugger all to reduce emmsions, especially on an older engine as it just clogs up the manifold and valve.

Hi, just to make sure I get you right:
Your intention is to remove/replace some fundamental program features of the motor's ECU?

Given that such messing around with an officially approved car component is technically possible at all (for average consumers), it sounds quite risky to me to intervene in the complex engine management. On top of that, you would be playing around with pollutant emission ...
imho, this is not like tuning some characteristic curves of an engine but changing its ecological setup, which would result in loosing warranty, insurance coverage and the overall operating permit of your car ... at least over here in my home country.
