So was going to do this but went to check ute out and it looks like there's 3 here already ??!!

 

[4x4nav]

Just ordered a couple of plates this morning. Does anybody remove them before servicing at a dealership ??

 

[tony d22]

No they won't even notice.
You'll find it hard to tell the difference between them once installed.

 

[michael740]

Thanks Tony.

i took mine out, 1st service it was spotted and i was told it could void warranty!

 

[tony d22]

It must have been pretty obvious then.
I cut mine the same shape and used just slightly thicker stainless than the original and it is invisible.

 

[308bever]

it was an ebay one, the same as the gasket, but 1.5 mm thick. i think the local stealership read this forum.....

 

[michael740]

So basically, no dramas if your out of warranty?

 

[tony d22]

No none at all.

Can anyone tell me if the egr mod puts it in to limp mode on a 2014 d22 cheers

No I don't think so, I have one in my 09 model which is the same and no problems, I haven't heard of any others with d22 having probs either... Its just the d40 that sometimes has the issue and needs a tiny hole in the blank plate to trick the computer...

 

[Jonesy17]

Ok thanks mate

worth doing

Hi all I've just done the EGR blank thing and 2 thumbs up no lag with AC on smoother running more power down low and less smoke out the back

Just did mine, 2015 model 2000ks on the clock. No check engine light.

The one thing I have noticed is the turbo spools up a fair bit quicker. That was quite noticeable, after putting around for ten minutes half expecting something to go wrong I pulled out at an intersection and at half throttle was up through first and second gear a lot faster than before.
Can't comment on smoke, never looked at it pre mod.

Hi all,

My question is, why does the engine have this exhaust gas return in the first place? It seems like blocking it off works well but I'm sure then engine designers have it in for a reason. I'm trying to figure out if this is a good idea, i don't want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere!

Cheers

It is for emissions purposes only. It cuts them down at the cost of engine wear/life. Try find any old diesel with an egr, the ones which are renowned for running forever. Yeah none of those old bullet proof engines had them, but they were ****ing tractors which pumped out sooty exhaust haha

its for emissions to reduce Nox output levels.
downside is reduced power/economy, but mostly adds wear. pumping sooty exhaust down the intake means the intake gets clogged up with soot. tone of pictures on the net showing it.
some engines are so bad for it they have to pull the manifolds off and clean them as part of a regular service.
when the manifold clogs up, you loose air flow, which makes the combustion even more sooty which compounds the problem.
