just like riding a bike practice becomes perfect:);)

how ironic is that as the OP asked you on the first page .bearing in mind you where the first reply dont have to look very far ....Your reply seems a bit combatative-any reason ? so how much do you really know as you mentioned the oil comes from the turbo only .... but you forgot about the...

i thought you said you know what your talking about even this kid has more knowledge than you on a simple MAF sensor and its functions

this forum is on the web just saying back on topic since you know what your talking about so please educate if it was that easy why wouldn't we just unplug it and forget about it half ass job (lazy mans way ) reason being the EGR valve seat does not garrentee a 100 % sealing surface...

remember the fuel system can be also tricked electronically and mechanically for example i have LPG installed

no expert mate i learn new things every day this is a simple basic EGR system any one can can quote from a manual

good for you mate but i am still unsure how this relates to deleting some parts of the EGR system

who mentioned about air controlling a diesel ? so now we are comparing engines why do some petrol heads remove the choke plates and then install a primer kit back to the td5 so why do we delete the EGR actuators to a straight through every little helps right other engines on the...

the MAF sensor does play a role in fuelling back when mine failed i had to drive around for a few weeks while i had issues with a seller then eventually i purchased a new one from my landrover dealer i never noticed any fuel consumption and my boost gauge never changed the only issue i had...

ahhh yeah so this means i can remove my MAP sensor and throw this in the bin as i no longer need to read boost or intake temps ohh i have a K& N filter installed also

i was only question you as you where asking why like i said its a personal choice i see no harm infact wouldnt the free flow be less restriction ? if you dont want to listen from me ...plenty of info on the net mate explaining ways and whys how to delete a typical EGR less than 24 hours ago...

LOL considering i work with emissions and many different types look back at history VW they where beating emissions when the bonnet was open very simple as the ECU selected a different map but they got caught out the td5 system is very basic and you can also smash out the CATS at a glance...

blanking plate asures its deleted just removing the vac hoses alone does not assure how well your EGR valve seat is so this is not a delete also like i said having the EGR delted means more qaulity time can be spent else where as for sticking out as sore thumb i think they look rather sexy...

yes but the blanking plate can be easilly removed for MOT

so if your aware of the specs why mention new rules for 2018 ?

this was the hole idea of the egr system they worked out that a vehicle does more time cruising light traffic work so the EGR is then active also its not active at idle but your forgetting the build up of carbon with mixed breathing gasses over time the intake plenum becomes sludged up or...

a little trick i learned due to my trade remove your dipstick and wipe with index finger.. now rub index finger and thumb massaging the oil does it turn clear ? why would you want your investment to inhale an inert gas ?

blow by like i said its natural for a charged engine to have more blow by ( BREATHING ) for example 15 to 19 psi of pressure on top of a piston compared to a naturally aspirated engine blow by has contamination of carbon or even dust that the air cleaner may of missed along with the...

one less item to service along with other things depending on build date the engine then becomes a euro spec for example a euro 2 or 3 engine does not need to meet euro 4.. 5 ..6 or 7 specs even a new turbo may bleed .... nature of the system unfortunately its natural for a charged engine...
