I hear you can disconnect the battery for a few seconds aswell which will wipe the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Blanking it will put the light on permanently won't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidylupo Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I've got a code reader and switched the light off myself but after cleaning and changing no avail, been told you can get a remap that deletes the egr valve entirely therefore removing the fault codes and lights after blanking, getting tired of it know tho almost sold the lupo because its just on going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Did you clean it properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidylupo Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 The code is showing flow insufficient and I cleaned it then bought and fitted a new valve completely with plenty of wd40 as lubrication is the key, think I need to get some compressed air and give the pipes a good blow what do you reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpercy87 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Did you drive it for 50 miles of so, after cleaning it? The code doesn't just disappear once it's cleaned. You must run it in. Give it an Italian tune up!Yes you can map it out, but could be costly and you will probably be better off deleting it if you do in case the EGR goes faulty and the code isn't being thrown.

Dblock Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Blanking it will put the light on permanently won't it?Im not sure about petrols but I blocked the vacuum hose going to the egr and thats closed it off for the moment.

rick briddon Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Where are you as I have vcds and managed to set my egr to minimum, this then removes the need to blank the egr.If you blank the egr then the car will take longer to warm up, thus you will use more fuel.

Richie7Rich Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Did my egr blanking plate and even made the flap in the egr stay open and I've had no error code and certainly warms up quicker than my golf tdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
