egr delete

I thought it would be a good idea to collate some info from owners that have remapped vans and/or deleted components like EGR, DPF etc. There is lots of info that pops up on I individual threads and I think we need a place to talk first hand info from owners to help others that are thinking...

So. On the way to my 3 week europe tour, the dreaded engine light came on. I popped home and plugged in my Carista. Yep, the EGR code come up. I reset using the Carista, and the light came back on after every 200 miles or so. I kept switching it off with no issues. No loss of power, juddering...

Afternoon, I've read about the Tafmet EGR simulators on this forum and think this is a good solution to just blanking/mapping/replacing the EGR. It seems that the majority of them are for the BiTDi engines and there is nothing directly listed for the EU5 140 engine. I wrote to Tafmet who said...

Hi All My van broke down few months ago , (Pump in tank packed in ) replaced with new bosch pump ,new fuel filter, van wouldn't run for more than 20 seconds then cut out start and cut out again , and so on .. eml problems so .. Now egr and dpf both off , blank off at turbo, been on a few...

Hi all, I'm just having a new engine and turbo fitted because of the dreadful egr. I wanted to blank and map out the egr and leave the dpf alone but been told I've got to do both as it will kill the dpf. I've heard that the dpf still does its regen even if the egr is blanked out. Is this true or...

Hello all, 40k and it looks like my EGR cooler is blocked up… 5 gear , 102bhp i think I was going to just replace the cooler however a garage informed me that the EGR would not need blanking off if the valve was still working. The cost to delete is not far front he cost of a new cooler as I...

Brand new set of Tafmet EGR blanking plates and gaskets for the T6 2.0 Tdi engine. One medium and one small blanking plate included. Note these will not fit the Transporter with the slightly longer EGR Pipe (original part 04l131521AK). Cost me nearly £30 due to the international delivery from...

Hi, New to the forum. I own a T6 2019 . I’ve had a egr, add blue and dpf delete with a remap. I have been told that I need to get the dpf drilled with a few holes not a complete removal of the whole filter inside. Can you remove the dpf from the vehicle without having to cut it off? Thanks in...

Hi, having a big problem with my van. Issue: Limp mode, van will not go over 3000rpm. At 3000 rpm engine raddles and shakes with diesel knocking & dies down to idle or shuts off, completely losing power. Light Blue smoke from exhaust. No fault codes Starts up quick & nice idle. Drives normal...

I've owned my 2018 VW T6 since new and a couple of years ago I had it converted into a Camper by SurfBus in Clevedon who did a good job. However I wanted to share my recent experience with Fred at AutoTech Tuning. My van has relatively low mileage and has always been serviced by VW (which hasn't...

Hello, Im about to remove the EGR system on my T6 CXFA. But i was wondering instead of just install blocking plates, can't i just remove the whole EGR cooler/Valve and just plug the water hoses? Thanks :)

So my van has a Pendle remap. The EGR valve has died. The garage says they could just do a delete but it’d need mapping out but they can’t do it as my van is already remapped. Is there now way round this or do I have to get a new EGR?

Hi, Just wanting to improve my understanding.. If an EGR Cooler is blanked off.. Will this mean that that the DPF blocks up / blocks up quicker? Also, will the DPF still continue to function as VW intended / function effectively without adversely effecting the engine? Understand that the...

A lot has been written on this and I've read it all. I thought it might be useful to try to summarise in one spot. I'll break this down into single statements and questions so it's easier to agree/disagree/answer. Please take a read and comment if you think any of this is incorrect. 1. The...

I'm considering an EGR delete and having the ECU mapped to forget it has an EGR. Does anyone know of a garage that could sort this out anywhere in Scotland? Ta.

Hi guys Had a few of these EGR low flow faults lately on different vehicles. On one vehicle i removed the cooler and tried to clean in but with no luck. The cooler is a bit different so I decided to have a look inside and discovered why you’re wasting your time trying to clean them out. There’s...

So, I have had the EGR assembly removed completely, blanked off and a coolant bypass pipe fitted due to a coolant leak suspected from the EGR cooler. However, despite the tuners efforts I'm assuming a temperature sensor is still being read and needs to be "disabled" perhaps. Would any of you...

Egr delete and re mapping. Yes or know? Information I could do with as I’m looking for my first T6. Thanks all!

I recently had an EGR delete on my 2016 T6 to try and fix my EML woes. After reading further up on the forum, I would have probably been better (at first at least) to update the ECU to the latest version. My question is, if I take my van to VW for the ECU update will the EGR delete be...
