I have recently re-graded from 300tdi to a 2.4 tdci
Taking delivery next Monday followed by a quick drive to Cooktown from the Sunny Coast.
I have been slowly consuming the WSM (thanks Inc) reading the bits that are new to me.
It is my intention to obtain a BAS RRC for diagnostics and I will have the EGR turned off via the RRC ( I will entertain the possibility of a re-map in time but honestly, going from tdi to tdci I don't think I will be begging for more power.)
Anyways, with the EGR turned off in the ECU - next task will be to clean the intake of skunge and block the EGR off permanently.
In light of this and the subsequent redundancy of the EGR cooler - has anyone considered/ actually performed a transplant of EGR cooler to Glind etc water heater. I quote "The EGR cooler is located in the coolant return line from the engine and top hose."
That to me reads as "EGR cooler is in the hot stuff not the cooled stuff"
So replacing the EGR cooler with a Glind it would be in a post BAS redundant circuit in good flow hot water likely >88 at all times which will stay hot for a good while after shut down.
Any takers?
Steve
