Apologies to all - what I meant by 'reference it here' was by using a link to the other thread. Don't worry I won't forget as I'll be that excited when it happens. [biggrin]Quote:

Have woken up to the car on bump stops out the front for the last two days. I replaced the front block a few months ago so I'm hoping it's the rear. Can someone please remind me the fuses to pull to stop auto leveling? I'd pull the battery but I just put in a Traxide system and fear I'd break something
I’d expect them to be reasonably quiet looking at that block layout.Quote:

No wonder they get so solid with gunk.
Perhaps time to think about bypassing and removing. [emoji848]
I blanked mine 2 weeks ago, left all pipes in place and my egrs were/are still functioning. No engine light on the dash either, I removed the manifolds and intake Y piece for a thorough clean as they were gunked up especially the top intake ports with their redundant flaps.
I wonder if it would be possible to create a closed loop and feed the output signal back into the position signal. But leaving hooked up and tied out of the way does sound simple. [emoji106]
And while your EGRs are still functioning you will not get an engine light. If they fail, even though you are blanked your engine light will be back on. While the ECU still gets the expected signals back from the EGRs the light stays off. Wrong or no signal and the light comes on.Quote:

I had bought two cheap EGRs but the thought of my arthritic hands putting them in was doing my head in and was about to get an indie to do it for me. However the original EGRs were in the closed position with the EML on - in mucking around with them and thinking of plug in emulators I decided to see what would happen if I just plugged the new EGRs into the wiring loom so the EGRs were acted as an emulator - it worked and no EML.
So advance 8 years I still have two brand new EGRs plugged into to wiring harness and these EGRs live in the drivers side battery box. The old dead EGRs are still bolted on the exhaust and the system is blanked with the butterfly removed.
No EML since 2012 and the car runs great - the two EGRs were half the price of the patch to delete the EGRs but if I did this now I would go with the patch. Oh - and I still get the EGRs making their sound as they go through cycles on shutdown - you dont get this with the patch [thumbsupbig].
