Audi A3 PD engine, How to do an EGR Delete

[@b_dubb]

Is the EGR and throttle body the same?

[@matthewplanner3542]

If I just fit the blank plate, and not worry right now about the light on the dash will it go into limp mode? Or literally just have a light on the dash

[@georgestephen8039]

Uv been great help I have ordered my plate hope solves my issue

[@JamieLee2k]

Just make sure you map out the error otherwise you may get a engine light on

[@KOTalk]

What about blocking the exhaust manifold side?

[@JamieLee2k]

It's much easier to just block that pipe, just make sure the plate is thin and you remap it out otherwise you might get an error on the dash, it's only 2 bolts

[@KOTalk]

Oh OK mate. Thank you so much! So you don't have to block it between the manifold and the egr cooler? That's what someone said before

[@sofuslauraborgholt4906]

I have a lekey egr cooler. Will it be fixed if i delete the egr and take a plate in where you have? Its not esay to replace the egr cooler.

[@JamieLee2k]

If you remove the EGR valve you still need to replace it with a pipe kit and then get it deleted in the map, You can still run the car with the egr valve blocked but you will get an error

[@garylawton7254]

Will a stage one mapp remove dpf egr and manifold issues? Thanks

[@JamieLee2k]

When you get a remap done you can ask to turn off certain parts of the engine, so yes it will stop you getting errors, just make sure to check with the mechanic and ask if they can turn them off for you, You might have to remove the DPF as well.

[@garylawton7254]

@@JamieLee2k is egr delete as easy as it looks to do yourself and do I have to get a mechanic to remove the code after on ecu or will it just go into linp mode after if I don't thanks mate?

[@JamieLee2k]

@@garylawton7254 Doing the EGR delete (as I done in the video) will throw up an error unless removed in the remap, so make sure you ask the mechanic to turn off the egr when doing the remap and that will stop any errors popping up, unless you are remapping it out I don't think you can do it yourself. My case I had the car 2 weeks then remapped it and put the plate on the EGR as the gasses will still flow regardless it just doesn't throw up any errors due to the map

[@garylawton7254]

@@JamieLee2k is a mapp only way to go really my mechanic says don't do it unless absolutely necessary but hes aa old school mechanic nearly 60 years old but done it 40+years also can swirl flap be solved independently or new manifold time when this fails? Does it control air/fuel mix as the cars been misfiring cutting out at low revs black smoke too.... Thanks

[@JamieLee2k]

@@garylawton7254 If you modify any part of the car there is always a risk of something going wrong but I would suggest going to a proper shop that deals with remaps, a normal mechanic/repair shop won't have the expertise in remapping unless they offer it as a service, remaps are generally safe and they offer a restore service if something was to go wrong, So in terms of air/fuel mixture there are a few options, like more power less economy or mixture of both (what I did) or less power and better economy, There maybe other options but I am no expert, Its best to look at reviews before you go ahead. I got my Audi from 140bhp - 170bhp (I could have gone to 185, but held it back a little for safety) and I got 55-60pmg, even putting my foot down I got 30-35mpg but it depends on the remap, I would say its safe if you goto a proper remap shop as they know what they are changing and have mostly done it on a daily basis for years.

[@diederikvandedijk]

What use is a blanking plate if you drill a hole in it? I reckon there was a 'hole' in the first place.

[@JamieLee2k]

If you drill a hole in it, you don't get the engine fault and because of the amount of gas it does the same job

[@TheMrcooky89]

Where does the egr pipe lead to?

[@lonewolf031]

If you onlt put the blanking plate, do you need to remap it?

[@JamieLee2k]

If you remap it, you can block it out without the need for a blanking plate, the blanking plate is only there to do what the remap would do but you might get an engine light on the dash, putting a small hole in the blanking plate might not give you an engine light but you are still letting a little bit of gas through.

[@lonewolf031]

@@JamieLee2k thanks, I'm gonna try to find someone to remap the egr for me.

[@JamieLee2k]

@@lonewolf031 You wont need the plate if you remap it out, just ask for a EGR delete when you get a remap.

[@Rycka9]

Did you just blank it and was fine? The whole delete kit is not needed?

[@Rycka9]

If I map it out can i put a plate to avoid messing around?

[@jimmomechanics7347]

if u take off the egr u will still get or have a faultcode;) so there is no other way. u can go to a tuning expert he can delete the faultcode with the program ;)

[@MoreThanBlocks.]

How do we know the difference between a PD engine and a CR one?

[@JamieLee2k]

For PD models, the engine code consists of 3 characters, while for CR there are 4 characters. You can find your vehicle’s engine code in the specification sheet in your service booklet or on the data sticker in your engine bay

[@Europeancars1337]

Pd engine have injectors on the inside of the engine and cr have injectors sat on top of the engine

[@Ben-bu2jg]

Hey mate, does it still pass an MOT with it mapped out? Thansk

[@JamieLee2k]

Yes, the MOT inspector doesn't know its mapped out, When you map out the error he also closes it off, but as an extra safety measure I have blocked it off, If you remove the DPF it will fail the MOT instantly.

[@Ben-bu2jg]

@@JamieLee2k ah okay, thank you. So the emission test come back fine even after a EGR removal? I’m just paranoid because I got mine mapped out but haven’t been for a mot yet, was worried about emissions failing

[@JamieLee2k]

@@Ben-bu2jg yeah my emissions were fine and I had 2 MOT's when I had the car, when you map the car you dont have to block this off but the EGR is more trouble than its worth.

[@Ben-bu2jg]

@@JamieLee2k thanks very much, I’ll stop worrying

[@adwarrior]

I'm confused. Surely if you drill a 10mm hole in the blanking plate you're defeating the object of fitting the blanking plate in the first place!

[@JamieLee2k]

The 10mm hole is only there if you dont want the error on the dashboard, and wont be as efficient as blanking it off completely, Remapping it out is the best option as it will completely turn off the error and the EGR blanking plate is there incase some gasses gets past.

[@gregkingston2087]

You should have blanked out the other side of the EGR pipe this way the pipe won't get hot for no reason at all. Delete the EGR in the ECU it is relatively easy with plug in software. This bit my mechanic friend did!

[@JamieLee2k]

I never had an issue when I did this fix

[@Tigrou7777]

The pipe won't get hot since exhaust gaz are non moving at all and even if they would they are cooled down by EGR

[@richardrobson8864]

You don't need to undo that 10mm nut! You pop the bottom left, and top right plastic sockets up and then slide it out towards yourself.

[@MrJnr786]

They are m8 tripple square bolt t50 is not the correct tool

[@jaystallwood]

Nice one very informative video thanks. Have you noticed a cleaner run, better mpg etc. I've just ordered my plate.

[@JamieLee2k]

Personally I haven't but like I said in the video my engine light still hasn't come on so I think it was mapped out, I remapped it from 140bhp to 170bhp and I am getting around 50-55mpg if I drive properly, Hope this helps

[@arianavdullahu3106]

Good work! I have the check engine light on now 2 months. So after egr delete what i dont understand is remapped and getting 140 to 170bhp?

[@arianavdullahu3106]

Mine is audi a3 2.0 tdi 2005

[@JamieLee2k]

My MPG is slightly higher

[@JamieLee2k]

yes I remapped it out and gone from 140bhp to 170bhp

[@rob86trott]

T50 you say. Its a spline not a torque bolt.

[@JamieLee2k]

I am not an expert in tools, but thanks for clearing that up

[@stefanmargraf7878]

I tried it in a VW T6 bus (Plate with 7mm hole). At130km/h +20% higher gas consumption. I removed it then. Surely more problems would arise.

[@THEChrisNASTY]

Your video showed us nothing, just you pointing at the EGR valve for over 3 mins ffs

[@MrJorgvankleef]

Is your car still running good and clean intake ? Greets from europe 🖐

[@JamieLee2k]

I sold the car on but I had it on for about 16 months and it was fine

[@tayson259]

PD,katastrof,BKD best

[@mattpyatt1965]

That a multispline not a torx 😂. If you are going to do a guide at least use the right tools

[@bigmac7228]

You will definitely have an engine light with a blanking plate only. Better option is to do the full delete and map it out or just the blanking plate and a map
