Hi
I was driving around for a couple of weeks with a sluggish clio 1.5 dci with black clouds pouring out of the exhaust, after speaking to a local garage ( good garage scheme member ) they recommended a removal and blanking of egr valve. £130 later and it was done - picked the car up up and no huge plumes of smoke but still under powered. After 9 months of slow driving it started to hesitate under heavy acceleration and finally down even under normal driving. I finally took it to my local garage who advised to change the egr and bingo - the power is back but what the previous garage had done shocked me - instead of removing the egr valve they plugged the hose with a nut and welded it in place - which split the hose and caused the leak and lack of power.
i guess my real question to ask is how do you blank off the egr valve as a mechanic?
