None of us, or the government, will ever know how many vehicles have had the EGR and DPF mapped out, and I think the "child killer" label might make people reluctant to admit having this type of work carried out.
I personally don't think it's a good idea, I actually like the way that my exhaust doesn't belch out visible smoky particles like diesels used to you before DPF's were mandatory. (Yes, I know, it still pollutes, before I get a lecture from somebody who drives a similarly polluting vehicle!)
Also remember that although you've got next to zero chance of being caught out as things stand (IMO), none of us know what testing capability might be available to MOT testers in the future.
By the time testing stations have the equipment to actually test these things the factory fitted EGRs and DPFs will have long since perished. I think this forum itself is a homage to the plight of many experiencing expensive failures in the first years of ownership, let alone in 5 years time.
You'd be better off deleting the stuff with the lowest level of intrusion now, with a view to it being ready to refit in the future if you ever needed it. Then you would reap all the mechanical, performance and efficiency benefits now and you would save on having to inevitability replace it or in the unfortunate situation where is knackers your van.

Hi Ali-G, if you get it done, please could you let me know how it goes ? Can you tell me the name of the Garage and where it is ? Cheers, Pete.
@timmy Is your van still running well with the EGR mapped out?I had EGR failure in January called the guy who remapped my van. and he remapped the EGR out passed MOT with flying colours in September
Yeah, independent VW Audi specialist.
I've done roughly 6000 miles since I had my EGR mapped out one year and 6 months ago and it's never miss a beat.
Way ahead of me!!!
You’ve done wonders for my dyslexia though!!!
Well, the deed has been done.
All good so far, to be honest I haven’t noticed any difference, the van feels exactly the same as it did before.
Only done short journeys so far but it seems to warm up at the same speed and the fuel consumption on the dash hasn’t changed noticeably.

So did they map out the EGR and the ADBLUE?? Be interesting to know your thoughts after a few weeks?
I hope it all works out for you.
why map out EGR and AdBlue they are unrelated systems?So did they map out the EGR and the ADBLUE?? Be interesting to know your thoughts after a few weeks?
