BogMonster Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I have bypassed the EGR on the one at work simply by unplugging the modulator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young bobtail Rhys Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Can't you just blank the egr off like the old 300's then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yes you could, using a similar idea, but I just whacked the valve until it closed and then unplugged it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy_muppet Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 If it's a TD4, I think one of the issues, is the valve mechanism causing an obstruction to the air-flow. A chap on the MG forums used to make a bypass part for the MG ZT with the TD4 engine in. I'd assume it was the same type of bypass housing for the Freebie. If it's the older 2.0TD I seem to remember it just having a bolt on metal pipe to the inlet manifold, which you could cut up a coke can, and make a suitable plate/gasket to seal the hole off.
