Thread: EGR Delete - 3.0 TDI A4

Ok, so I found out that the oil leak I have is due to a seal somewhere on the EGR valve letting go.

So I have a decision, I am planning a R-Tech remap anytime soon, so do I replace the EGR, or go for the EGR delete.

Has anyone done this and can you let me know the pros and cons, will it improve anything in the response and performance if I delete it, or should I leave as Audi designed and just replace it?

Car is an 56 plate 3.0 TDi Avant Multitronic.

Look forward to your views and comments.

Delete it. I got R-Tech to tweek my existing AMD remap (it was too torquey and not linear power) and also R-Tech removed my EGR function as i had fitted blanking plates in. Its better for the engine, even if you dont have any existing EGR problems because no more recirculated gases will be entering the engine, leaving your engine cleaner and inlet manifold less full of carbon deposits. You'll also be getting 100% fresh air into the combustion chamber rather than a mixture of air/exhaust. It'll take longer for the car to heat up in the winter however but if you can cope with that then go for it!

All the best,
