EGR Location 2.8 diesel

Yep, mine but nah no performance gain but I collect at least 40 mils between services in the Provent. After time the oil clogs the entire intake, congeals in the intercooler and restricts airflow. This will reduce performance but the prevent will not improve it over new... Just retain the performance.

Ps if you are handy with the tools you can make one for half the price.. Get a blowby canister from supercrap auto and then fill it with stainless steel wool (washed thoroughly) to congeal the oil. They work well if you are ona budget.

Tcf,

It's 68027590AA.

Hi

50 000 km +-.

First 20000: BP Visco 7000 5W40 (same as dealer). Now (warranty finished) I use Shell Helix Diesel Ultra 5W40. The oil was changed every 10000 km.

To clarify it appears there is a benefit to either remove or disable the EGR! Which is it disabling or remove? I tried David’s solution to remove the vacuum line and replaced it with a sealed container. Had no problems after driving for about 200km. But this led me to think as there seemed to be no apparent benefit either, performance and fuel consumption all remain the same. Is the EGR valve normally open or closed when removing the vacuum line? I tried with and without the container eg vacuum line just disconnected and open, nether tripped an error code. Appreciate any feedback.

It's a shame these pictures don't work anymore.

I have noticed a slight difference in acceleration. Better with the EGR physically disabled. Plus boost at idle is higher by 2psi.
