Albert smith Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Has any one any thoughts if it is worth fitting a E.G.R. valve blanking plate on 1.6 h.d.i diesel Citroen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackydog Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Has any one any thoughts if it is worth fitting a E.G.R. valve blanking plate on 1.6 h.d.i diesel Citroen. Won't that kick all the emissions into the atmosphere rather than trying to reduce them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the Citroen but I did it to the two Discovery's we have had, and it did make a noticeable difference. Both were quite old and a bit "gummed up" with years of breathing exhaust gasses. They were an idea of the EU I believe, a total waste of money. The ICE engine requires fuel and clean air, not some of an engine's exhaust gas. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the MOT rules are being made tighter, will it fail because its now non-standard and may fail its emissions test? ---------- Post added 12-02-2018 at 19:32 ---------- Completely blanking the EGR will most likely cause the EML to come on, this will now cause an MOT failure, under the new rules. ---------- Post added 12-02-2018 at 19:41 ---------- Is section 12 the relevant section, I an trying to find out what these new rules are. The link says 'draft'. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/671818/mot-inspection-manual-for-classes-3-4-5-and-7-from-20-may-2018-draft.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MOT is being changed in May I think, specifically concentrating on diesels.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Blank it off ..emission control on diesels is a joke ..egr valve , particulate filter etc, in my experience are a licence to print money not save the planet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
