Greig Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 What's the benefits of having your egr deleted on the 320d? Are there performance gains or is it purely to stop the inlet clogging up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mengwalton Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 A lot of benefits. EGR is like long term suicide for the engine. Best to search there's been a few threads. Basically it stops crap from the exhaust going back into the intake and gunking it all up Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greig Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah I know it just throws all the crap back into the engine but wasn't sure if there was performance benefits or not. I have a 2004 320d and attempted to blank the egr off by using a brass washer but the engine management light came on so I took it back out. Might see about having it deleted then. Any idea how much it costs? Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungers Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Most people have them mapped out; it's the only way to stop the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Does this do anything negative to the vehicle? I cleaned mine out and it made a day and night difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooge Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 No differences other than a minutely better pickup and peace of mind. I have an Allard EGR delete kit fitted and bar the EML light on the dash it drives as normal. Its part of a list of things that add up to a better driving and healthier car in my opinion. The other bits are remove the CDV, add a bigger clutch stop, use better quality diesel or add some 2 stroke oil, remove the swirl flaps, clean the inlet manifold and fit a decat. A remap is the final bit. James B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocked my EGR a couple weeks ago now and every time I put my foot down I get no black smoke, whereas before I'd get it nearly every time, piece of mind also knowing that I'm not putting all that black smoke back in to the engine! Going to clean my inlet manifold and EGR right out soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasa Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 never heard of 2 stroke in your diesel, used to put 170ml into £60 worth of diesel, helps to lubricate fuel pump and injectors, also will slightly improve mpg, there is a arguement against it putting a waxing on injectors, but have never heard of anyone having this problem, i was getting 2-3 mpg mmore after about the 3rd time i had put it in, and at £2 per 500ml was cheap, it has to be a low ash formula, morrisons was the place it bought it from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
