    I felt some difference but there's now diesel fumes inside....I've never had that before blanking an egr unless it needs to be done from the unit itself...I'll take the plate back out and leave as is till if/when I can get the nuts under it off

    Now I've got something weird with the bolt at the back (in the photo) it loosens so far then gets stuck, now I've always know the when you heat nuts and bolts they generally come off easier....not that one!. Unless the threads are caught on a bit of the tin plate I put round it, if that's the case I'm buggered if I know what to do now as I can slide it out, it's folded round the original gasket so need to get it out.....got a dilema now

    Maybe it's not a problem anyone has encountered before...sounds like something you've added anyway lol?

    Tbh it sounds as if you've crossthreaded it? Not sure what the access is like but try pulling it while unscrewing it, molegrips or a small prybar may help?
