PD170 EGR Delete

[AndrewJB]

Right people

Eventually i had planned to get a EGR delete but since having my DPF Removed and 234 horses the car has been spluttering etc on acceleration and JBS seem to think its a sticky EGR Valve so first of all has anybody removed there EGR on a PD170 and if so where did you get the Bypass pipe? was it an allard one or Custom made?

Secondly is the PD170 EGR same as PD140's?


im probably going to see Andy @ PSI Tuning (My local tuning company)on tuesday as he fabricates exhausts etc and said he could fabricate a EGR Delete for my old 1.4TDi so im hopeing he can do one just depends on price

Have you tried cleaning the EGR first? It might be clogged up and a good clean might help things until you get your delete pipe.

Well you never know until you check it.
The EGR for the PD140 is at the front of the engine (nearest the bumper) Not sure about the PD170 but it might be in the same place??

On the 2nd last pic there is a silver bit that sticks out from behind the engine cover. That is location of the EGR on the PD140 and it kind of looks similar on the PD170.

Hmmm....not 100% sure.
If you check this thread the first pic has the EGR on a PD140.

EDIT - Scrap what I just said there, looking at the pics that part looks like your EGR.

Try this site www.egrvalve.co.uk The Roadsport version you may have a lamp intermittently come on but you can alter the function of EGR via Vagcom or a mapper can remove the ability completely. The gas struts I did some years ago copied it from a Racing SEAT pic that had the bonnet up!! give me your pm and I will email the pics got the struts from a breakers £10.0 the pair. My biggest worry is that the bonnet is NOT very strong and I had to renforce at one end!!
