My guess would be that it is the pipe for the EGR vacuum system. No idea how it works though.

That'd be the vacuum tube off a EGR valve as mentioned - you'll either still have it in situ, or it will have been proper removed. Keep the bugger blocked and stowed away - preferably cable tied to sommat else that ain't gonna get hot and not move around too much!

The EGR valve is a load of pipe work that is to the right hand side of the main block, with a bendy section that's 'corrugated' on the bend. If its been removed proper, ou'll find a 'rounded diamond' shaped blanking plate held on with a couple of nuts/allen bolts on the right hand side of the block on yer rusty looking manifold.

there is another which is plugged into the egr valve so not sure where this one goes, its much shorter

Just cable tie 'im up against sommat the dunt get hot or rattle round as best you can. 300tdis had lots of extras chucked at them to try and 'beat' the eco monkeys back in the day. The EGR being the biggest evil of them all. Get rid of the EGR and revel in 'free' extra powah and the smile inducing smoke plume you can unleash on nobberz who pee you off behind.

with regard to a blanking plate is it just a case of adding the plate or do i need a remap ?

Just add a plate, pretty easy job to do

ive just ordered the kit with new hose so can remove the whole thing

Get dosing the bolts on and around with plus gas. They can be tinkers and shear off.

Bear1972 · Nov 16, 2014

have blanked it off, put a new hose on and it seems to be running much better, more economical and pulls better, the egr was crackered tho so its a job well done
