Does anyone have a guide to remove the egr cooler?
I can find guides for a Jetta,.. how similar are they?
-

-

I'm interested in this too.
On darkside, I can see the Egr cooler delete, but not the actual Egr delete pipe. I think they do one, as its mentioned on their project jetta car.

There egr valve delete is having some work done to make it better, so its not on there site at the moment, I spoke to Scott earlier and they have the prototype winging its way to them, shouldn't be long before they put it back on the site.

What's wrong with it???? :scared:Does anyone have a guide to remove the egr cooler?

If the guide on the Jetta is for a 2.0 BKD engine it will be exactly the same!

Pagey they advised me they where having a couple of problems with welds splitting with the very high temps that go through it.
The new one is a solid piece of billet so no welds to crack, if you have had no problems upto now don't worry about it.

I believe they would mate, they are still a company trying to fight for there place in the upcoming TDI market so there customer service will be second to none, They have just moved into there new premises so I'm going to go over and pick the new EGR delete once they have the first batch in,

I can vouch for that, when I got my valve the guys there practically talked me through the installation via several emails. Top lads imo. :happy2:

I've got a PD140 Jetta Sport, its identical under bonnet to my mates PD140 Golf GT

Ill be picking my newly designed EGR valve delete up in the next couple of weeks and will be taking a few pics when I take the EGR valve and cooler out to file under the letter B for bin :happy2:

Doe's their EGR delete bring the engine management light on like the allard kit does? And what sort of price are Darkside charging for theirs?
This is something i definately want to do to mine
Cheers

All the EGR kits will bring the CEL on mate, it needs to be deleted from your ecu via a remap.
Darkside Developments kit is £85 but its excellent quality

Excuse my ignorance, who does a egr delete remap? :ashamed:
Are you getting it mapped out?

Blast from the mega past.....
Does anyone have a guide to remove the EGR?
-
I don't have a guide but it's pretty easy to do. Take it you have a delete pipe to go fit? From memory tthere is 5 or 6 bolts and an electrical plus. I know one bolt goes right through the asv and egr. The only problem you will find is removing the metal pipe that connects to the egr. I had mine removed the same time as the dpf and he had to chop it in half to get it out. You will also find it will throw a fault due to the egr being disconnected.
Or you are removing, cleaning and putting it back and I've just written that for nothing :signLOL:
-
Cheers for the info. I was going to buy a delete pipe but then realised the light would need to be mapped out, the cash for which i dont have at the mo so a clean will have to do :fighting:
-
You could clean it and maybe make a small gasket to slip between the egr and the feed pipe to stop it getting dirty again as a temporary measure. Although I still think it may throw a fault as its monitoring the flow. Try it and see.
