Right Chaps,
Thanks for the advice.
My thoughts so far.......
1. KISS....Keep It Simple Stupid!
I could go for it and spend several hundred quid trying to save a few quid on diesel and not needed all that expense. So I am grateful to you guys for pointing out simple points first
2. Things I have done so far.
Got her going and working again
Put some injector cleaner through
Inflated the tyres properly.
3. I am going to change Air filter Oil filters and oil.
The next steps I still have a few queries on
1. EGR removal/blanking
Will this affect emissions for MOT purposes?
2. MAF replacement seems expensive, but those who have done so seem well impressed
3. Remapping has not been commented on? However other posts seem positive about it. And I would have to be fairly convinced it would be worth the cost.
Thanks for your comments
David
Hi David, removing the EGR valve is a good thing because it allows your engine to run 100% on clean filtered air. It might improve your mpg slightly but it will improve general running.
If you have a cat in the exhaust downpipe, you could replace that with a non-catted one - in my opinion this is the best single cost-effective mod you can do on these vehicles.
Neither of these mods will adversely affect your emissions, come mot time.
