Quick question sounds stupid but here goes I'm wanting to do an egr delete on my b6 1.9tdi and was wondering what's the best way to go about it ??

On pre 2003 cars you can usually just plug the vacuum pipe into the EGR, but on the later cars you have to get it mapped out or fit an EGR delete pipe kit, Allard being the most common one. http://www.allardaluminiumproducts.co.uk/air-systems/egr-delete-kits.html#cat=56
Do you have to have a run of for the excess oil build up I'm only asking as I don't want it to become a run away diesel

You will have to get it mapped out of your ecu then like I did if it's an 04.
If your going for a delete I would look at the Darkside kit, but after experiencing overrun on a previous car I've just removed the s pipe, and blanked mine off so as to retain the asv.

I fitted the Alarard EGR delete kit on mine and it's been great. Had to get the engine management light switched off after (got a remap at the same time). I think it offers a slightly better "flow" over just leaving the original EGR and blanking off.

You will have a light on the dash due to the age of your car if you delete, or blank the EGR.
If you want to blank it of here is a post from my build thread on another forum of how to do it.
Deleting the EGR to turbo pipe
To do this you will need two blanking plates that are available from the likes of eGay, but if you work with steel, or like me your dad does then you can just knock some up out of 2mm stainless.
If you plan on making them yourself then order a new gasket for the EGR side of the pipe as this one is more likely to get damaged when removing it, and use it as a template like so
Firstly you need to remove the engine cover that is held on by three 10mm nuts. These are located under the three caps that just clip in
Once off you can clearly see the little fellow that needs to be removed going into the top of the turbo filling it with coke making those VNT nozzles nice and sticky, which in turn leads to limp mode once clogged enough, which in turn leads to a dead turbo
Ideally you want to remove the air box lid as it will give you far more room to work, so it would be a good idea to either do this in line with a filter change to kill two birds with one stone so to speak.
Once all this is out of the way the only thing holding the pipe on are two 12mm nuts on the turbo end, and two 6mm allen head bolts on the EGR end.
If you don’t have the socket type allen bits don’t worry as they are of no use for this job, all you need is a 6mm allen key as there is no access to the inner bolt for the ratchet bits due to the inlet manifold, and turbo feed pipe.
Once all these are off it’s just a case of wiggling it out of there which is a bit of an art, so take your time so as not to damage any threads on the turbo studs.
You can now attach one to the turbo like so making sure you use the gasket so you don’t get any boost leaks
The other one goes under the EGR, but as you can see the plate is thinner than the pipe you have removed
This means that the bolts are too long, but don’t worry there is an easy solution in the form of two nuts. You simply put a nut onto each bolt before the plate, and gasket to take up the extra length like so
Then it bolts on under the EGR like so

Never heard of it coming on with a 03 plate, mine didn't and neither did a few of me mates. So should be all good in the hood
Is this the one for our cars? PD130..
