Hi all
I have been reading a lot of different threads on here re blanking off the EGR valve. Both interesting and helpful. My Doblo has started doing the juddering/coughing thing below 2,000 revs in 2nd-4th etc.
Whether this is due to the EGR or not, it seems there is a general consensus that it's worth doing, to preserve the engine, improve performance, and most importantly for me: improve mpg.
Even if I was mechanically minded (sadly I am hopeless in that respect), I can see that removal and cleaning is a pig of a job.
Have been quoted £180 for fitting the (£3) blanking plate and a remap so fault lights don't come on. It seems reading various posts that the light will come on on a 1.3. Does this price sound feasible?
Or is it worth replacing?
One of my worries is that all the crap in the inlet manifold will still be there if I take the first option (or, come to think of it, the second as I'm sure the garage won't be bothered to clean out all that crap even if I ask them to). Is this a massive problem? (especially if I get it blanked off anyway).
Any thoughts on this much appreciated!
