damouk Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Looks like i have got an EGR faut somewhere, when i rev the engine there is a sort of hissing/wooshing sound at the back of the engine near the EGR stuff, on slight boost the is noticable in the car with the windows closed, it is effecting the performance but i still make the same boost as before what is my best option? remove the EGR and blank off the pipe or try and fix it, looking at it there are some very tricky fixings at the exhaust end of the EGR pipe or get someone who knows what they are doing to sort it? cheers Damo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubus1 Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I would remove it all together. I have done it. Blocked off both ends. Works great. I once had the same problem, I was shiting my pants thinking that I blew my turbo. the noise that the egr pipe was making was kind of similar to death whine. The advise is: remove it and bin it!

damouk Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 That was what i was thinking, did you do it yourself and if so how dificult ws it? D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubus1 Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I did it myself. To be honest, it wasn't the easiest. There are to bolts on the exhaust side of the egr that are very tough to get to but with the right tools it worked ok. Apart from that its not to bad.

Syed Shah Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Definately remove it! A waste of space in the engine bay, your car will thank you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
