Tafmet simulator on 2.0 140 EU5 CAAC

[John A]

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 "We don't do a CAAC device", to which I replied "Is it not EA189 based then and same as some of the other units?"
"I don't know - I just do the packing. The tech guy is on holiday..."

So....does anybody know if any of Tafmet's simulators can be fitted to the 140 CAAC EU5 engine? I couldn't find any detail here when I search for it.

Never mind bought and fitted a new EGR

I think, from reading numerous related threads, that the CAAC engine doesn't suffer so many EGR related problems as EU6 engines.
What symptoms did you have?

When it was taken off, it was really gunged up so it was ready for replacement or at least deep clean.
I suspect they both have issues, but the CAAC issues are not as catastrophic
