    There is a very interesting video I saw on YouTube the other night showing how to delete the EGR and some other stuff , what amazed me was the amount of gunk that was blocking the EGR and the connected pipe . It was like 60% blocked no wonder the cars will die . It was on an older VW car but same principal never the less . Link here . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn6jiEpADYg

      It would be tempting to delete the EGR, it can't be good for the engine long term.

      Yes it may be illegal, but technically from what i gather we weren't meeting the Emissions anyway,

      Add the fact, we don't have yearly inspections up here in QLD, i'm sure it gets done a fair bit.

      after the VW warranty expires of course

        It,s already been offered to me without prompting by a place I know , they seemed very knowledgeable about the downside of both the DPF and its partner in crime the EGR .

          It's was not the hardest thing in the world but a sound knowledge of how the vacuum/pressure system works would be an advantage.
          Just depends how knowledgeable you are and your confidence in completing the task.

            Hi Markee, confidence level high but knowledge not so great. I'm a quick learner after building a hotrod and several restorations!

              I think you'll find that was before the DPF came along.
              Removing the DPF doesn't go well the EPA in NSW, I'm guessing and causing your DPF to fail by blocking the EGR is very expensive.

              VW should have just not sold cars in California...........problem solved!
