My08 Gu CRD
Bought second hand a few months back. Was having a squizz under the hood and noticed some shiny rough cut stainless on the drivers side EGR pipe flange: Attachment 35969
Thoughts?
I have fitted boost and EGT gauges as well as a 3" exhaust before i saw this. If this is indeed a blanking plate, should I be watching things a bit more carefully?
You should be fine, they say all vehicles should have EGR plates fitted
So it does look like one to you three dogs?
I would think its behind the electrical tube under the IC like my Di.
Got some plates here I'll measure hole centres, they are about 65mm cntrs
Hey money. I'd say it is a blanking plate, as it's got some portions of it sticking out. I don't think original gaskets stick out. I'm not near my car to check though.
Is it normal to blank the EGR before the intercooler? Did a bit of re-search, but couldn't turn up a definitive response.
Yeah most block at the top end its a big no no pollution wise
but is very hard to pick if blocked, act dumb if the boys in blue ask
Thanks everyone for your replies. Appreciated!
Its good to know someone has put a little bit of time and effort in to the longevity of this engine before I bought her. Now to fix the squeaky serpentine belt... It's driving me crazy :s
I'm pretty sure I've read a few times around here mate, to only use genuine belt.Quote:
