No, there's no need to block the pipe on the EGR... |

So before we trundle off to France with some long motorway runs, I'm interested in any mpg improvements (and no, I don't want to buy a blue motion car ![]() I was pondering whether a section from a drinks can might be thin enough to shape easily ... |

The silicone is a good idea, never thought of that. Bottle top or something like a copper pipe end cap, or possibly a lump of metal in the egr inlet pipe from the exhaust manifold. Be interested to know how you get on. |

Ok - blocking the vacuum pipe was easy and quick (slug of silicon).

i disconnected and blocked off my vacuum pipe yesterday but not had a try to see what effect doing this has yet...i dont know whether the egr valve is in the open or closed position so possibly i wont get any mpg or performance increase..i might have to buy a blanking kit to get the full benefit.. |

to quote a lyric from a queen record ''its strange but its true'' but since my vacuum pipe disconnection, my town driving mpg has risen from 19 to 21/22mpg and, this is the strange bit , the dash mpg readout is updating every 15 seconds or so whereas before it was once every 10'ish minutes.. |
