Hi guys,
A question for those with the technical "know-how" ....
A sympathetic MOT tester let my car go through the test, despite there being a slight emissions problem ...
Following which,
Rather than fork out £126 for a new EGR valve, I blanked it off with a home-made steel gasket and have noticed an immediate big drop in the smoke levels churning out the rear end under hard acceleration.
Are there any consequences to driving about with this arrangement left in place permanently, apart perhaps from a slight loss of acceleration and maybe a MPG fall off ??
I'd be interested in hearing anyone's views.
Thank you,
Cheese
