Hi all, is it worth blanking off the egr valve? Are there any problems with doing so (except having to get the ecu remapped) and has anyone done it?

Had meta few weeks ago and went through fine so guessing egr wasn’t touched car has 70,000 miles on it so do I get a new egr fitted tried ages ago to clean it and worked for 2 weeks then issue came back also read about fitting a blanking plate should we get this done either way need someone trusted to look at it husband has tried and can’t even find it anyone recommend somebodyI am lost as to why anyone would want to do this. Its there for emissions reasons and is an MOT requirement in UK. I have had some trouble with mine, but after use of a spray cleaner and subsequent use of Diesel fuel additive on a regular basis it has not been a problem for 50K miles. The Car has now done 100K and is running fine. Like many others I wish they didn't fit these things, but feel its not ideal removing them. I did investigate the part price and found the dealers price to be the best and was quoted 0.8 hrs to fit it. For that you get the manufacturers guarantee too.

I did clean my egr today, the car is a bravo 1,9 mjt 07 it has 250000 km on the clock. I thought I try it out since I seen all these videos on YouTube and that it could be clogged with sot. The car didn't run bad or anything like that before the clean up.I am lost as to why anyone would want to do this. Its there for emissions reasons and is an MOT requirement in UK.
