EGR delete, Good idea or not?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,new member here.  I own a 2011 Honda CRV 2.2 idtec diesel.

I love the car to bits but have recently have a problem with a split

EGR pipe (quite a common fault apparently).

Before spending a small fortune getting it repaired I wondered if any members have gone down 

the ERG delete route and did it work ok?

I have read that deleting the EGR can generally improve performance.

Im,e ok to fit the blanking plate myself but will have to find a tuner to delete the system in the cars 

ECU. I think I read online that the ECU program couldn,t be deleted ..hence the enquiry.

This looks a very knowledgeable forum so fingers crossed one of members has advise on the subject.

many thx for any advice/suggestions.

Generally the EGR is fine if cleaned out and driven through a high rev range.
The 2.2 CRV is superb engine and actually benefits to run at higher revs
Mine actually gave a better MPG when driven hard on motorways (70 to 80mph in 6th gear - higher speeds in Europe)

Never had any issue with DPF, EGR or Turbo Vanes being gummed up....the high revs generates enough pressure to blow out the carbon
