Left the egr in place on mine, although i did remove it to clean all the carbon out of it and made sure the valve was fully closed. Put it back on but left the vacuum tube off and blanked the end of it. Does the same as the removal kit but cost nothing . '04 td6 se

On the plus side though, at least you wont have to clean all the out of the egr. '04 td6 se

Thought you may have found a shiny metal disc of suitable size to poke in the end of the exhaust gas inlet

The valve should be closed when there is no vacuum Joe90 so yours must have been stuck open. Not surprising though with the amount of carbon you find in them. I gained around 2-3 mpg after disconnecting it. Also got peace of mind that the engine isnt breathing in all the carbon too. '04 td6 se

How long does if take to do ? Also did you use fire gum on the blank off bit. Can I use silicone ? |

about 20/30 minutes done unrushed,,i used gum gum as that is well known for its reliability when it comes to blocking out exhaust fumes.. |
