egr removal

[mikecrossuk]

Hi, i've just been offered an EGR valve removal kit for my 106 gti. I've tried researching them but with little success i know what it stands for but thats about it. Can someone explain what it does and what benefits there are to removing it.

Cheers

Mike

recirculates exhaust gasses into your engine to be burnt off again.. thats about all i know... lol

ive just put a blanking plate over where it bolts onto side of engine..

you dont need a removal kit mate,that just some robbing **** trying to make money!
well the egr valves they look shit,as carlos said its to do with exhaust gasses,just do as he did and use a metal plate to cover the hole on the head.

im gonna do this too, but the question is, where does it go into the inlet again? i have never traced it round, so im not sure yet (jst taking the easy route and asking)

disconect the pump,pull all pipe work out its like a long snake,on use a metal plate to block the hole up on the side of the head....

What are the benefits of blanking off the egr valve. Can any show pics of where and what needs to be blanked off. Will it show you in a haynes manual. Sorry if i sound stupid but i'm not clued up at all under the bonnet.
