Default Can you block off the EGR

I noticed on youtube that they block off the EGR in Nissan and Triton utes,
can this be done to the OM642 motor, and if so are there any negatives.

I did search the forums, and use the search function but didn't find anything, so apologies if its already been covered.

Short answer;
NO, it's a computer related sensor issue

Can't block it but you can turn it of with a tune like GDE.

I can live with that. I had an impreza before the jeep. I actually became suspicious when the engine light wasnt on.

OK, I have done this.

If you unplug the EGR you will get the CEL plus be in Limp Home Mode.

There is a resistor trick that removes the Limp Home Mode, but leaves the CEL.

Ben.
