Amazed Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi all has anyone blanked the egr on this model ? Have just done mine but am unsure if there is anything else I need to do ? Many thanks Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyTed Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Have never done it but I understand you may need to have the ECU re-calibrated to stop management light problems. If you alter the ECU it is notifiable to insurance and they may not accept it because the car will no longer conform with manufacturer's emissions. Plenty of people seem to blank EGRs but it could invalidate insurance - the choice is yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi pal, I have drilled 3 5 mm holes in the plate to put the light out in effectiveness I have only 90% blanked it. What I have read is about having to remove the cooler and re pipe the water going to from the egr any ideas ? Thanks Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyTed Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I believe your engine is produced by Fiat so a good place to look is on Fiat/Alfa Romeo forums. FiatForum.com is a wealth of information. You may be right about re-piping cooling water because exhaust gas recirculation causes lower combustion temperatures. Whilst reducing nitrous oxide emissions the lower temp is less efficient. NOx level is not measured during MOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
