unfortunately the plate did not arrive in the mail, I have to turn the beer i was going to drink while doing the EGR into beers to drink while watching the motoGP, really looking forward to seeing what it will do to the economy of the car.

Even if it doesn't feel like it's in there, you can rest assured it doesn't have sewage re-plumbed back into the clean intake.

A few days ago I also blocked off the EGR (no hole) on my 2012 CRD 3.0 and was waiting for the dash light to come up but never did.
I loaded Torque Pro $10 from Android store on my car deck along with OBD II bluetooth dongle from ebay for $15 and was able to clear the codes. See below.

.... The Blocked EGR valve made too much difference in power and economy to write it off and remove the plate without trying everything else first.

.

Wildthing, I wanted to ask exactly what kind of difference has it made on fuel economy?
The whole reason I started my mods is because mine is using 18-20 L/100km. I've now installed a snorkel as well and just filled the tank.
I also added the Chemtech fuel additive/injector cleaner and hoping an praying that it'll reduce it to at least 16 L/100km.

I'm also told that a 3' exhaust will significantly reduce fuel consumption, however I can't afford this right now.
I'm also curious if anyone knows any after market 2.75 or 3' exhausts you can purchase with view of installing it yourself.

There are a few around built for a DIY job. Beaudesert exhausts is one of them. Albeit they are on the dearer side of things.
I've so far installed 3 of their exhausts my self, and arrived with everything you need and lined up perfectly.

Thanks Hodge.
From what I gather I'll also need a Dawes needle valve prior to installing the exhaust? Was hoping to get away with not installing it or an EGT gauge, but may have to bite the bullet.

Some CRD's overboost when exhaust is fitted. This in turn may result in a limp mode. So, this is why sometimes dawes/needle is needed to control that adverse effect of an exhaust.

Unrelated question, what unit running Android is that ? What brand etc ?

I bought a Newsmy NU3001 for $550AUS, delivered via DHL within 5 days. It's an awesome unit apart from one flaw, it doesn't have a working equalizer... ie trebble, bass, mid controls, still sounds great though even without these controls. Other than that, it's perfect, also comes with Nissan wiring plugs, so no cutting cables.

Also has a great support forum here

Thanks fill look into it.
