Blanked egr problem

I have blanked my 1.6 tdci EGR valve.

The problem is that when I rev to 3000 under load it goes into limp mode.

This was the exact problem as before blanking.

Any suggestions, I have been told I just need to clear the fault?

    Are you sure it's the EGR at fault? 

    Sounds more like a DPF issue to me.  If the EGR is broken, just blanking it won't fix that, it needs mapping out on the 1.6.

    I have just changed the fuel filter but now cannot get it to start. Have primed filter but will not start. What do I need to do ?

    you need to prime it more.... changing fuel filter is a difficult task unfortunately. I would suggest you need to fill the filter to brim, then keep pumping it through.

     

    As for the error, I dont believe that will be EGR related...

    Turns out it was the filter that was causing limp mode. I noticed that the colder the weather more unresponsive the car. You were right about filter needs a lot of priming and a good charge in your battery.
