That's exactly what I found when I did it to my Ibiza too.redcupratdi said:the EGR mod is well worth it it is much smoother pick up from 1000+ and more responsive!
sssstew said:its fine for PDs as far as im aware, its just that some wont let you do it, as I mentioned in the TDI FAQ on here in the TDI section.

devonutopia said:I'm sure there's a trick out there for the EGR vacuum hose so it doesn't throw a fault with the EGR, bringing up the CEL light.
muddyboots said:I thought the fault occurred because the MAF was seeing more fresh air being taken in than it expected (because the ECU expects a certain percentage of the total intake to be exhaust gas through the EGR valve instead).
Could be wrong though !
try without the hole first, I've been running nearly three years without a fault, Bosch EDC? 15 is your's a newer typedevonutopia said:Afraid I think so.The fault I get is something like "EGR: Maximum range exceeded" - which means its after a certain amount of air/recirc to monitor, but its getting sweet F.A.
Hoping that with a small gap for air to still get through the pipe into the vacuum box, it will be faked into thinking the EGR is actually working.
nothing MAF related at all.
yes ECU, Bosch EDC15, is what most of us have I think, I thought EDC16 was US only but I am not that up to speed on this, do you have the over complex EGR valve like the Yanks? if so I guess you may have a problem or live with the light as I don't think they have a fix yet.

At the moment its effectively sealed off as the EGR unit is blanked off. and my CEL comes on and stays on.![]()
