My egr is blanked off but has anyone removed all traces. Pipes, sensors etc.... ? Is it possible and what was the result.
what was the result.
8.2.2.1 Exhaust emission control equipment
You only need to check components that are visible and identifiable, such as diesel oxidation catalysts, diesel particulate filters, exhaust gas recirculation valves and selective catalytic reduction valves.
- Emission control equipment fitted by the manufacturer missing, obviously modified or obviously defective
This inspection is only for vehicles that must have a full catalyst emissions test (disregarding the basic emissions test). You only need to check components that are visible and identifiable, such as catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, and exhaust gas recirculation valves.
Right, but the sentence you've cut out of your quote between the sub-heading and the description of the check says:
Last I checked diesel cars don't get the full catalyst emissions test.

8.2.2 Compression ignition engine emissions
8.2.2.1 Exhaust emission control equipment
You only need to check components that are visible and identifiable, such as diesel oxidation catalysts, diesel particulate filters, exhaust gas recirculation valves and selective catalytic reduction valves.
If a diesel particulate filter has clearly been cut open and rewelded, you should reject it unless the vehicle presenter can show evidence that there was a valid reason to cut it open, such as for filter cleaning.
- Emission control equipment fitted by the manufacturer missing, obviously modified or obviously defective
- An induction or exhaust leak that could affect emissions levels
- Evidence that the diesel particulate filter has been tampered with
Honestly check the ******* manual will you??
I've even put the correct header number in, at least bother to read down far enough.
I read this as only check parts that are visible and identifiable. If all the egr bits are removed then surely are no longer checked under the mot?
