Anyone got any ideas on how the Egr valve works on the 110s,
Are they supposed to be open slightly when the car is running at tick over?
im getting a slight hiss from the valve too, the metal part -not the solenoid,

theres no loss in power but ican hear this critter hiss from inside the car now and then,
this problem as only started since ihad it re-mapped,
also the top air pipe for the intercooler sucks inwards when you rev the car not much just a few Mms
like its not getting enough air, Air filter is clean ,

i blanked mine off, the difference now feels less substantial. i think the novelty is wearing off.

blank it off lozz the blanking plate is only likr £4

iwill be leaving my egr on,
it saves on fuel in the winter , and with mine being fully mapped ithink its best left on,

the blanking plate isnt the hardest thing in the world to remove. I thought they were good for the turbos, the performance isnt really that different though.

iunpluged my egr once, to test,
theres no differnce ican see

De-cat and remap is the onlyway to get the most out of a derv engine me thinks

sorry lozz i had a xud xsara with 138k on it and the egr was blanked from around 80k and that was running it orignal turbo, that guy is chatting crap.

the taxi's i used to maintain 3 of em were renualt dti's and they did 300k + with no egr.

Yup he might be chatting crap, he seems to like throwing turbos away , new ones are over a grand he must think people have got deep pockets,

but still iwill leave my egr on his theory on this helping it vent the turbo may be correct

he is on about the xud, we have the hdi.

i spoke to my mechinic about the blanking plate before i got it and got the ok from him before getting it.

A turbo is a turbo isnt it
whats the difernce

im assuming the hdi uses a different type of turbo.

It cycles open / shut many times a second, but generally only when you're not touching the throttle.

If you want to test what it's like blanked off, disconnect & plug the vacuum pipe at the solenoid valve - this disables it without triggering a fault, (unlike disconnecting the solenoid valve). So long as the egr isn't letting by this does the same as blanking it off.

I was tempted to blank mine off, but with remap, V6 zorst, and decat, I was particularly interested in gaining more power

Anyway, I thought it would, but wanted to play safe with it passing the mot with the way it is

most egr's are so gunked up they dont work anyway.

What is the best stuff to clean them with ?

is there anything out there that ican just pour in the tank and itl work its way thru cleaning it?
idont fancy taking it off or paying £98 for a new one,

thanks inadvance.
