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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    MK 5 TDI EGR delete

    Removed the EGR valve pipe
    Disconnected vacuum line to valve

    Anyone in Brisbane remove the valve electronically ? Otherwise emissions light and limp mode will happen [emoji6]

    Can it be done with VCDS?

    Can't be done with VCDS. The ECU software would need to be modified.

        Talk to Tarmac Engineering in Cleveland. They should be able to write a new file onto the cars ECU to delete the EGR so you dont get any check engine lights.

        Bonus is that you will get a boost in power and torque (and better economy) as you may as well get a stage 1 remap done at the same time as the cost will be much the same.

          Otherwise a more budget option would be a tune from Superchips Bluefin. They have a EGR delete option in their tune packages for an additional fee.

            Interesting! $925 with EGR delete, looks to be the go! Thanks for the advice [emoji593] keep you updated
