It runs a bit quieter and much less black smoke out the back on acceleration. I read that the EGR helps bring the motor up to temp a bit faster. I tend to give it a little more time to warm up before I give it a boot full. And you don't get the EGR cycling noise on shut down. ______________________________

Very tempting for when the RGR's finally throw in the towel.

My understanding is that, in the UK it will fail an MOT if the EGR's are by-passed or disconnected.

Whys is that? Does it have an effect on the emissions check? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

If it was fitted with EGR from the factory, then it has to be present for MoT. Same for DPF and Cats.

So, assuming the MOT tester probably won't even open the bonnet, it's a bit of a moot point then? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

it is a moot point, however assuming they are plug and play, then you could just plug the EGR back in for the MOT There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I doubt an inspection would identify what it is if the bonnet was opened. But yes can be put back to factory in a couple of minutes by unplugging the emulators and plugging in the EGRs. ______________________________

I had my EGRs turned off a few weeks ago and it has stopped the puff of smoke that used to appear on initial hard acceleration It was done while being remapped with no extra cost 2015 4.4 AB
