how comes my mate gets shuddering when he has a egr removal pipe, is it cause that plug ( anti shudder valve) pops back in when turned off is removed?

lol, but seriously?
also was it a quick job? (4hrs or less) and was it easy?

i ask as i'm on call and may need acr, plus i am so completely thick/stupid/dumb at this sort of stuff

I aint done mine yet. Those pics were not my EGR.

From what I have seen and heard though an EGR can be cacked up in no time at all.

It would take a hell of a long time for a UK EGR to get that clogged up as our fuel is lot higher quality than US diesel.

Also Chris where did you get those carbon fibre oil and coolant caps?

The EGR can be turned down with Vag Com on the earlier1.9ltr ECU's, but some later ones are not able to be adjusted. The 2.0ltr ECU also cannot be turned down with Vag Com.

And there I thought 'he's got those pipes now and fitted. Good ole boy'

Denied.

Looking back, cone filter... nah not Chris's.

Still waiting for hose #4.

I told SFS to hold my other hoses till #4 is ready, that way I only have to pay postage once.

Got my brakes to do in the meantime :)
