Mattypompy Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi Peeps, I've been intending to clean out my EGR and Maf sensor then I stumbled across some people blanking it off with a plate to keep the intake manifold cleaner. Some say it can improve running, reliability and mpg. Any thoughts whether I should instead of cleaning the darn thing! 1.8tdci 146k Was thinking of this puppy: EGR plate. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110898426952 Cheers 😁😁😁😁😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmozzer Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 hello matty , last diesel i had was a toyota estima , and it was standard practice to blank off the egr valve . easy job as its just a plate . having sooty deposits clogging up an intake cant be good for an engine as it only wants fresh air and lots of it to keep it happy . my advice is to blank it off , but its your choice .

Mattypompy Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi Cmosser. Thanks for the advice! Think I will blank the blighted off. Sounds like an easy good mod! Silly emission regs! Cheers. I want to clean the inlet manifold too but removing it seems a pain on my motor. Might try and do it in situ if feasible. Thanks again!

FatHead1979 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Blanked my 1.8 TDCI about 18 months ago, no issues, runs a bit better at low revs than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
