For the technical bods
EGR bypass.
Are there any negatives to having one of these fitted and, if not, can anyone recommend a good one? |

The only negative that springs to mind is the fact that insurance companies class it as a modification. Other than that it does no harm, egr is just a way of asking an engine to eat it’s own excrement. As for which one, I think they’re all much of a muchness. A cheaper alternative I’d to unplug the solenoid & clean the valve out & make sure it shuts

I wonder if disabling the ECR increases acid dilution in the engine oil. It certainly helps to poison the air we breath.

The other negative is that it can break the egr flexi pipe on some autos!!
Don't know why it does this but i have seen it happen to a few, never seen a fractured pipe on a manual

I was thinking more along the lines of preventative medicine to be honest. EGR blanking kits have been commonplace for years now but it's not something I've ever investigated and as such I don't really know much about it.

Remove your EGR give it a good clean scrap out most of the crud, you can then use swarfega with a tooth brush to do the rest, wash it out with carb cleaner after. 1 2 3 if you want a bypass one gut your original EGR as here below. 4 5 6 No MOT tester will know the difference Be warned though no point in any of the above if you do not clean out the manifold as well, remove the MAP sensor wipe that with a rag sprayed with carb cleaner. To clean the manifold again scrap out most of the crud and then use oven cleaner soak for at least 2-3 hours and jet wash it out repeat if you need to. 7 8 I have seen some really bad ones. 9 10 You want the inside to look like this. 11 MAP sensor before and after a clean wipe. 12 13
