Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Is it *cough*illegal*cough* to remove the EGR? How do dealers handle it if you get a dealer service (obviously out of warranty)?

yeh probably is illegal, but its for the longevity of the engine. I wouldn't recommend doing it to a car in warranty!Originally posted by getjet View PostIs it *cough*illegal*cough* to remove the EGR? How do dealers handle it if you get a dealer service (obviously out of warranty)?

Don't even worry about the hybrids. The EGT's and EMPs they produce are ****. Unless you want to pull the head off an ddo some major port work and get a cam in there to get the EGT's back down you are better off going the 17562008 VW Polo TDi

Just purchased the required parts to delete the EGR and cooler from my Jetta (darkside kit). Plan to clean the intake manifold and ASV while I'm at it. I shouldn't need any gaskets if I'm careful, correct?Comment

As Miro suggests new gaskets are stupidly cheap from VW, my GT TDI inlet one between the mani and head was only $8!!
That said, if an o-ring looks fine, I just reuse it, so long as it is still round in cross section and sticks out from the face, when they get compressed level they will no longer seal and need to be replaced2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment
