still a thread that I link to friends who have got themselves a patrol. great option but sadly have not done it myself.
on a similar subject, what function do the egrc-valves a and b and the throttle control have and how do we as home mechanics use those to our advantage?
three dial looking jibbers above the turbo area.Attachment 53788
Just block the egr on the engine mate and don't worry about the other two thingo's.
sounds like a flawless plan but still interested in what they do.
Wouldn't have clue bud. Not real familiar with the crd's.Quote:

As well as having water cooled EGR the CRD's use an electrically driven motor wired to the ECM to position the EGR valve which is fully variable.
The EGR on the CRD's is much more responsive and significantly less likely to produce boost spikes.
Bottom line tho, is you are still 'breathing your own farts' as was so aptly put the other day so, yeah, just block the sucker
Does the CRD EGR blanking plate need a hole in it? I thought I'd read somewhere it didQuote:

Every CRD owner should have a scanner, crazy if you don't IMHO, so all you do is reset the fault on the rare occasions you happen to get them.
The pic posted is from a crd though....Quote:
