Sure, but on the other hand there is this discussion around the EGR on 204ps vans actually wrecking the engine:
www.t6forum.com
Hard to know which way to go on this but nobody with the EGR delete appear to be having any issues.
2017 204 oil consumption issues [Resolved]
Thanks for the reply, very informative and makes things much clearer now. I will speak to the mechanic and see if this all makes sense to him and they can work out what is going on. Presume if i just go ahead with EGR then it will just get clogged up again Pretty quickly without addressing any...

+1 for having an EGR closed.Sure, but on the other hand there is this discussion around the EGR on 204ps vans actually wrecking the engine:

Keep it stock and seemingly prepare myself for an 8k+ engine swap/rebuild
Or block it, potentially save myself the 8 grand engine bill. Worst case, we need a new block anyway?
Personally the potential savings is enough to sway me.
Also interested in doing this and am in Highlands if you get anywhere with it?
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.

Mine was done near Newcastle, any good for you?No joy so far. Local garages seem adamant that DPF needs to go at the same time
At this point, contact details for any UK garage/remapper that has successfully carried out this work on a forum member's van would be useful.
As above, mapped out and blanked never run better, been done since May and no problems. Done at my very trusted local garage by someone he calls in to do remaps where both my vans and my car go and have been going to for 30 years.
Wouldn't go anywhere else.
I'll dm You a link if you want.
That'd be great, thanks!
Details of the blanking kit you use would be appreciated as well if you would recommend it? Thanks. I am a lot further north than @Cuiken but any info is good.
Thinking its the way ahead to keep my van going well for another 50k
The blanking kit was supplied by the lad who did the remap so I don't know anything about it I'm afraid.
@Farnorthsurfer, I'm going to check that he's ok with the extra attention, he's on holiday this week so I'll speak to him next week.
I fitted the Tafmet Emulator and EGR blank kit, Was much cheaper than getting it mapped besides being DIY. No need to travel, happy so far.
I’m in another thread discussing this, I’m contacting Ecotune in Hillington, Glasgow to see if they can do it as they are German car specialist tuners, appear to be well used and been around a while, they have a T6 work van themselves, I’m thinking that I will need to delete the dpf too when doing the EGR delete, so I don’t get any more issues with the dpf clogging up that I had earlier this year and had it cleaned out.
Did you guys delete the dpf too? Or had any issues since?

Didn’t delete or do anything else to the DPF as it’s not a problem.
Blanked the EGR and installed the Tafmet black box rather than map the ECU.
Been working absolutely fine since it was done and in fact I think it is a little better at idle and during pick up.
From what you said in the other thread about turbo oil issues for sure that would probably make life difficult for the DPF.
