CALLING TOOLBOX!!
Jeremy
So, now I know that my 02-plater DOES have an EGR valve, what do I do to take it out of circuit as it were? Is it the old 'ball bearing up the orifice' routine as far as the rubber pipe is concerned or can I just leave it disconnected?
I removed the pipe from the Throttle Actuator Valve last night and took it for a spin, but there seemed to be no difference whatsoever in performance.
So same question for the TAV, can I disconnect that too without problem and do I need to block the pipe as well?
cheers
Paul

Right :augie
Just to throw a spanner in the works :doh
When in Wales,Colin aka extreme-4x4 removed the top hose & it lost power on idle,
didn't drive with it off.!
As this thread has progressed,so my cob webs started to blow off me grey cells :nenau :lol
So over the past 3 weeks i have :-
1.Ran on a full tank with top hose removed,no smoke at all with no running differences.
Loss of power only on idle.! :nenau
No difference on mpg.!
2.Ran with both hoses off & slight loss of acceleration with smoke on hard acceleration.! :nenau
Slightly better mpg.!
3.Ran & still running with NO EGR,Hose's & all ELECTRICS UNPLUGGED.!
Slight loss of low down grunt.!
Faster top end.! :naughty
Slightly better mpg.!
No smoke at all.!
So my own personal conclusion on my 2.5 TD with no ecu or maf is :-
TAKE THE BLOODY THING OFF & BIN IT.! :sly :thumbs
Dont know if this has helped or just defied what is fact.
