I'm literally minutes from putting a hammer to my 2003 115JTD Multi!
A while ago, I had a 2003 Stilo JTD which ran rough with lots of smoke, big end type rattles and no balls. Read on here about blanking the EGR, did that and the car ran beautifully.
So, with the above in mind and with my Multi having a distinct lack of power (but no rattles or smoke) I blanked the EGR off where the small ribbed pipe meets the EGR as I did with the Stilo.
However, this made no difference at all to the performance.
I then bought a new MAF and fitted that, again with no difference to the performance.
I've now started to remove the EGR to give it a clean but what an absolute b*****d it is particularly the bolts which secure it to the flange from the pipe which goes from under the EGR to a pipe leading down the back of the engine (sorry don't know where it goes!!).
How the hell do you remove these allen bolts??? I've managed the one closest to the bulkhead but the other near to the engine!! Jeez!!
Also, how do the clip connectors to the EGR and the MAP sensor come off? I'm worried about breaking them off using too much force to release them.
As the EGR removal is such a pain, I'm thinking of changing the MAP sensor first and then putting it all back together with the blanking plate mentioned back in place.
Help!!!!!
