Help needed please regarding a EGR delete

[Truesaint]

Hi, Firstly thanks for allowing me onto the forum I have used the search & found things about EGR Delete but not really what answer i was looking for? Could anyone please tell me the best place to go in the North-West pref nr Liverpool/Manchester who could do a EGR Delete? Do i need to buy a blanking plate like on my old car? (Non-seat) It’s a Seat Leon 2.0 170 PD Tdi.. Thank you for taking your time & effort to read this post

Don’t waste your time

MOT fail and you will need a remap to code out the light.

so its probs £400/500 and deleting the EGR isn’t worth the hassle.

if you really want to keep on top of maintenance clean the egr valve out every couple of years.

Thanks for replying to my problem All i know is there is a problem with the EGR & was told that my best best bet was to remap with a egr delete? I was thinking of a remap anyway so thought this way was best?
I looked on ebay for a egr valve & theres so many different 1’s from £60ish to £200ish? I must admit i’m abit naive about it all tbh? I have just bought 1 of them obd2 scanners & hopefully be able post the actual fault codes for more advice? But again thanks BigJase88 for your input & it’s fully noted

The problem may be that its coked up and just needs removed and cleaned with some carb cleaner and an old toothbrush.

certainly scan the car and see what codes pop up but i would be looking at cleaning it out 1st before an egr delete. As said in 2021 it’s an MOT fail.

Never had an issue with an EGR delete ever.
He throws up a fault code so it will have to remapped out. This should be about £175 to 200 tops.

I've always run EGR deletes, they're nothing but bloody problems lol

I had an egr fail couple of years ago, got it deleted and a remap for the same labour cost an egr change but no new egr cost, been mot’d twice fine, tester would really need to be keen to hang upside down to check if one was fitted. Not in your part of the country though to advise on a place to have it done.

If i was you i would fit EGR blanking kit, clean the inlet manifold, fit a 2.5 inch DPF delete downpipe & remap it to 215bhp.

 

[Terminator]

EGR Blanking kit - about £35.
DPF delete downpipe (profidiesel) - £240.
Stage 2 remap - £200.

So for less than £500 you could gain 45bhp with better spool & better MPG.

Also an MOT fail, as already mentioned. So 500 quid down the shitter unless you're mates with the tester.

The PD EGR valve is on the front of the engine isn't it? So simple to remove and clean out?

 

[Terminator]

Or just re-fit the EGR & DPF for MOT if u dont know a tester.
Ways round everything

 

[R3k1355]

Sod that much ******* around, especially if the remapped ECU throws a fit when you plug all that stuff back in.

Some people like to keep it standard at 170bhp each to their own..
