One for the wise and experienced...

Anyone in the Melbourne area had their EGR's done...? and if so...where ? As I'm going to keep my D3 till it dies I'm considering having mine done, to be rid of the gunk plus it's one
less thing to worry about failing... I'd be interested in anybody comments etc....

cheers

You can fit a blanking kit and not worry about a remap, mine was built mid 07 so hoping i can also use a blanking kit.

This was the date of the EURO4 switch I think so will be interesting what side of the fence you sit. Good luck.

I'm going to blank mine....interesting if I get any warning lights...we'll see !!!!!

Well....I've booked my D3 in for a "Quantum Blue" remap tomorrow, and I've ordered the EGR blanking kit... so I'll post how it feels after the remap...
and I'll fit the blanks when they arrive (in a week or so)...
The remap is being done at "Exceltune" in Braybrook (Melbourne)

cheers

Do they do a dyno before and after? Be interested in the figures they produce and your personal experiences as well. Have you done fuel economy numbers as it would be interesting to see if they improve or worsen as well.

O.K. - had the remap done, took about an hour, and the car feels much more responsive, pulls away at intersections much, much better, is more "lively" (seat of the pants feeling)
so I'm very pleased with the result... cost $1190. The EGRs were electronically deleted and I'll fit the physical blanking kit when it arrives from the U.K.
Cleaned my MAP sensor today (very little gunk) and I'll do the MAF tomorrow...(got to buy some CRC MAF cleaning spray)... taking it for a country drive tomorrow so I'll report back if there's any changes.

Hi Rod,
no dyno, just plugged into the OBD-II port and downloaded the new map. I haven't checked my fuel usage in a long while, but I'll keep an eye on it and report if I notice any major difference.

cheers
