I did this on my 2004 3.2 DiD 4M41 engine, and it works like a charm. It has a ECU-controlled EGR-valve and that still works like it should only now there is no exhaust going through it. My car produced thick, heavy black smoke on light and heavy load. With medium load it was kind of fine. That kind of black smoke was annoying and embarrassing in, say, slow moving traffic. The intake was full of black, sticky mess. This was the oil coming from the PCV through the intercooler, mixed with the dry black soot from the EGR in the intake manifold. Stopping the soot from entering cured my problem. The only downside to this is harder starting when the engine is up to temperature. I believe that when hot, the engine starts with "air" from the EGR-system, with the throttle body closed. Therefore, my suspicion is that the engine is now starving for air and that causes about two seconds of extra cranking for it to be able to start. But when started, everything is fine. My fuel economy is better after this , in fact it is in line or even better than the manufacturer's claims. That is not bad considering the car's weight and that it has done over 100k miles/160k km. But my low rolling resistance street tyres inflated to ~40PSI is also a contributing factor to this. Not that I drive this kind of car to save fuel, but no need to spend more on gas than I have to, right? And by the way, my country's MOT equivalent has an emissions test that measures 4 values. A combined "score" above 3.0 is a fail, and my car got a 1.4 with the EGR pipe blocked. All is good.

My 02 Jetta TDI intake was a Sticky Black Mess due to EGR and humid PCV vapour, as well.

before you do this modification, please read and understand what EGR system works for. It is to prevent combustion temperature rise and fuel save. Higher combustion temperatures are also harmful to the engine. One of the effects caused by high combustion temperatures is a pre-ignition or detonation (pinging), when the air/fuel mixture ignites in the cylinders not from the spark, but from excessive heat. Because it happens at the wrong time, before the spark, the detonation adds strain on engine components.

No; it introduces more clean air with oxygen; exhaust gas does not have oxygen,and the mixture becomes too rich (no air) and the diesel does not burn,thence black smoke. I am a mechanical engineer at a major manuf.from the UK

Why need to do this hard way, when you can just insert a small ball bearing into the vacuum line so EGR will never be opened.
