You can make it discreet with careful routing and use of alternative matching harness tape. In addition fitting a dummy plug in the now empty EGR valve socket and taping into the harness completes the job.

OK you maybe in luck, the Miller failure criteria for iron (Fe) is 250PPM. If I were you get the Tafmet kit fitted asap along with an oil and filter change. After approx 1K miles a further oil and filter change. After 2-3K miles another oil analysis.

...on the dipstick after around 1100 miles since the service so it's not yet drastic. Depending on the compression results I will either fit a Tafmet if its not too bad or if it's low a new VW engine from Darkside or our local specialist and get them to fit the Tafmet while doing it. One...

If you have a 180ps there is a far easier and cheaper solution which can be quickly reversed. Search on Tafmet.

Thank you, It was suggested here that my EGR may be stuck open I thought the emulator will only function if the EGR valve is closed Is the T6 Euro 5 the same as T5 I assume it is.

Sounds to me like the EGR valve is jammed open, the EGR cooler is degraded and the aluminium is how many PPM? I wouldn’t waste anytime getting at least one or two oil / filter changes done in quick succession after fitting the Tafmet kit.

Best time to act before you already have an issue.

So, for my understanding, if a Tafmet emulator is fitted will the EGR valve & Cooler assy need to be removed (to make a 100% belt and braces fix for the dissolving EGR Cooler issues) or can it remain fitted (appearing to be connected & working)? My aim here is to remove all concern and any...

Get a Millers oils analysis to be confident all is good with the cooler. Depending on skills, the Tafmet solution should be DIY I would guess.

Looking EGR emulator from Tafmet, might be an easier way forward. Just back from talking with local VW specialist garage near Inverness and he didn't think there would be a problem long term just blanking the EGR but he only knew about the Darkside Developments remap.

...off. This will tell you if aluminium is present in the oil and what level and that will help for next actions. After that, as discussed here, a Tafmet kit may be helpful in ensuring when the cooler starts to corrode, then none of that aluminium oxide will enter the engine. Or replacing the...

It’s a kit therefore everything you need. There won’t be any engine management light. You may want to buy a plug to fill the empty socket in the EGR, not essential, see early comment for details.

Do you not need the gaskets as well with these.

I have read and been told by Retro Resus that the dipstick is 1ltr from full to empty. They also said Tafmet is not as good as a block off and map out, not sure of the technicallities tbh They did this to my old Caravelle DSG 4motion a few moths back and its jumped from an ave of c30mpg to...

I have a 180 cfca which have failing egrs I used a tafmet emulator and blanking plates about £120 all in from tafmet. You need to check if they do a kit for your engine model . Or I believe many tuners can simply remap and delete I'm sure others will with you model engine could provide better...

Bought mine direct from Tafmet here 13. EGR Diagnostic Simulator Plate for VW Transporter Multivan T5 2.0 BiTDI CFCA | eBay For some reason they have postage set to £500 at the moment, it was free, something odd going on there!! Probably worth contacting them to see if there's another way to...

yes Cheers

Use blanking plates on the EGR cooler entry and exit ports and then use a Tafmet or map out the EGR valve opening. All exhaust gases will not be able to recirculate back into the engine and cannot bring any aluminium in with the gases. If you remove the EGR cooler or pipes you will likely fail...

At the moment if you buy a Miller Oil Analysis Kit (passenger car) from Miller website it’s cheaper than Opie Oils including their discount. It turns out that it is still supplied by Opie Oils.

I would recommend blanking off and fit a tafmet emulator. Cheaper and removes the issues.
