EGR Vave Disabling

Post by Slojo » Sun Mar 09, 2014 10:51 pm

Hi All
I am thinking of disabling the EGR valve on my 2000 fly by wire Bongo as it lacks power. I have done all the usual things, checked the valve/pump timing fuel system throttle settings etc. So i'm down to disabling the EGR system. Where do I put the blanks, do I remove the whole system or do i have to leave the system open so it can fool the ECU
Experience is something you dont get until just after you need it.

Disabling the EGR isn't really going to do much to improve a pre-existing poor performance issue. More likely to be a turbo or vacuum issue. The later turbos have vacuum adjusted vanes so are more sensitive to issues with vacuum.
