Bob Livermore Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 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.

Trevor Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
