I have a 1996 300Tdi and I have been thinking about blanking off the EGR. Anyway 3 weeks ago I cut a baked bean tin lid to an oval shape to fill the blank, why bother buying a plate when you can make one. Since then and over 2 tanks my fuel consumption has shot up, last tank almost 36mpg... keeping to around 60mph, the run to work being 26miles on dual carriageways. So to all of you who are thinking about doing it give it a go. The sad thing is I am looking for a D3 at the moment so may have to say goodbye to the fuel saving. Anyone know where I can get a good 2005/2006 TDV6 S with 7 seats.
