In reality quite a lot of oil vapour gets through the CCV filter. I'm sure the factory filter takes out most but the oil vapour remains and combines with exhaust soot to form black goo.

I asked about fitting one feedback from installer ( not front desk) was it was bloody hard to do quite expensive and he hadn't seen much benefit on these engines. Blanking EGRs though everyone I've spoken to is in favor of this
I also looked at blanking the two ERGs out in my TDV6 as well, but apparently it's not as simple as it sounds either? through my research it was looking like you would need to buy EGV valve emulators to go on the end of the EGR valves for position feedback to the ECU? not a simple matter of blanking off and unplugging the units? the emulators i found were pretty expensive and took some finding.Quote:

Mine were done when ECU was re Programmed. But they cycle open on start up- it's illegal for tuners to have them permanently closed.
I have to agree with earlier comments on the forum that the EGR gasses are probably a lot less harmful if not combined with oil vapour to form sludge.
Fitting a catch can could be easier on the L322 as the pollen filter housing can be removed providing better access to the motor. I will get around to this one day.
