Hi Folks

My Disco 2 TD5 EGR deletion kit arrived from Paddocks. It has the new pipe that replaces the valve, the blanking plate and new bolts. What it doesn't have is something to seal off the vacuum line. I have seen other kits come with something that seals the port where the vacuum pipe connects to. Does it matter if this is left 'as is' or should I be trying to seal off this vacuum line after the EGR valve has gone? I don't want my servo braking to be affected.

Cheers
M

Stick a screw in it with a bit of sealer on it

As above, self tapper with some sealant does the job.

Thanks folks. I guess a low-tech solution is still a solution.

In fact it is the better solution, I used the rubber cappings supplied with a kit originally, on an inspection 8 months later later I found they had split. Change to a screw with a dab of sealant and to this day all looks good.
