I blanked off the EGR on my Astra, been fine since. MOT in a couple of months,just wondering if it would fail because of the blanking plate?
Thanks, Trev

A lit MIL *should* be a fail though.
Some GM's and alot of fords will bring on the MIL if the EGR is blanked, they look for a decrease in air volume via the MAF when the EGR is opened. If blanked then there will be no fall in intake volume.
My 1.7CDTI brings on the MIL with a blank installed when driven sedately (when most egr is used).

which is why you get the egr deleted from the ecu (if you do it properly)

CORECT! But for a work hack, I havent gotten around to it yet, despite me doing DPF-off, egr-off and remapping ! That said the denso management on this particular engine is very diffucult to work with.

Thanks for the info. Luckily, the MIL doesn't come on.
