  • This video addresses the pro's and con's of the blanking of the EGR valve, the reasons why there is one, how it works, how to remove and test it. Installing a blanking panel and a test ride experience

    Very well presented Steve. EGR is a choice that individuals need to make and depends on the vehicle. For example I have retained on my everyday town car but removed on my weekend car. I do less miles on the weekend car which for me balance’s out the gas produced. I also ensure the weekend car is healthy, again reducing bad emissions. Thanks for this video.

    I couldn't draw that diagram let alone explain how it works. Thank you for a great and clear explanation.

    Very interesting and informative. In essence the roll of the EGR can be seen as a good thing but in my experience as a mechanic of many years the trouble they have caused and some are so difficult to replace nowadays not to mention the amount of crap that builds up in the manifold I’ve seen them reduced to half their internal diameter. It’s illegal here in the U.K. to delete or remove but it’s often done either mechanically or electronically.

    Nice explanation. You may know this already, but in the US, some states that have more exacting / overzealous mandatory regular emissions testing, do require the inspector to check visually the integrity of the EGR system and also test it for function where they apply a vacuum like you did but with the engine running and look for stumbling or killing the engine.
