Hi all, just received my egr blanking plate for my L-series diesel and got stuck in this morning before the heavens opened up! The instruction was clear, plate goes between the egr and the exhaust manifold. spent an hour trying to undo the hex bolts with no joy. Noticed the flexi pipe from the inlet manifold to the top of the exhaust gas cooler from the egr has the same gasket size so installed the blanking plate there instead and disconnected the egr vacum line and blocked.
Havent cleaned the inlet manifold yet as the weather has stopped play.
Anyone see any potential problems with blanking it this way? The exhaust gasses should not pass the egr valve now as it is disabled but not sure as surely if this easier placement of the blanking plate was possible with no problems they would have mentioned this in the instructions?
Hope I am making sense :crazy:
