Hi Guys n Gals I'm new to the forum.
I am replacing the EGR Valve for the mot, I am thinking of fitting a blanking plate after mot. Is it ok to just fit the blanking plate or will I need to add/remove/replace someting else.

Thanks in advance
Karl

why buy a new valve then blank it off

The modified 'swirl plate' is not recommended for doblos due to different mapping so if you want to blank it off it's your call. Personally i'd replace and give the doblo a little 'blast' every week after all doblos don't suffer from EGR's problems as much as other 1.9's in the range.

(why are you replacing the EGR for anyway)

What do you have?

A 1.3 or a 1.9?

Engine fail light.... Diagnostics say egr.... this will fail MOT I believe the egr actualy decreases MPG and power...

Hi I have the 1.9 jtd

Fiat has a special plate with 4 holes in it, to replace the existing gasket, it doesn't block the EGR completely, but enough to keep the ECU satisfied.
Completely blanking it of will result in a codelight
Your dealer will know, it's very inexpensive.
If you want I can look up the part number.

Fiat #: 0055225287 about 5 gbp.
EGR restricting plate/gasket for the 1,9 jtd 16V, if you have an 8V you need a different plate.

Oh heck now ya asking I'll see if I can get info but it will not be until Sun as I am away working

Don't panic, the plates will still be available by then, and I'm around as well...!!



For the jtd 8V plate you have to look at Ebay, don't know if Fiat supplies them

Would this be the one for the 1.3?

It is not recommended to use the swirl gasket on the doblo 1.9 JTD engine.

What could go wrong?
I would just try it, it's an inexpensive, original Fiat part, and it only takes 15-20 minutes to fit ...

Certainly would not do it on any of my doblos but then again it's not my engine were talking about here!

A restricted ( or even blocked) EGR is very healthy for any engine...( less healthy for the enviroment, though....)
I restricted the EGR on my 1,9 16V diesel engine equiped Alfa GT ( and removed both catalysts as well...!).

Hello, If anyone is interested I've just bought a new Fiat EGR valve for my Doblo 1.9 Multijet 8v (engine code 186A9000) for £59.99 +VAT from my local Fiat Dealer. Apparently Fiat have introduced a 'trade' price for Doblo's due to the heavy Taxi business, just to encourage Taxi users to keep coming back to their dealers.

Thought this might help some decisions...

Yes but that hasn't got the same software as a doblo.

That's possible true, but the EGR works the same, and restricting has the same ( healthy) effect....!!

Am i missing something...why not just disconnect the power plug that clips to the valve ? Then it cant open.. at MOT re-connect.

You will get a code light instantly....
