    Egr valve, clean out and keep or blank off? p's & c's?

    I have just blanked mine off and had it mapped out. Cant think of any cons what so ever. Pros are ofc cleaner intake and you don't have to worry about it failing. I also removed the cooler so I don't need to worry about that either. Doesn't affect the MOT either mine just flew through :)

    Diesel Tuning Box - Issues

    Probably not the case, but the juddering when revving and pulling away etc you mention sounds exactly like the symptoms i got when a IC pipe popped off. First port of call would be a scan with vcds and see what it throws up.

    Rust A3 2008 Help

    You could try the paint warranty. They will probably turn round and say its due to a chip rather than inside out corrosion but may give a fair chunk off as good will.

    My mate had his steering module go. He replaced rack and module total cost of £700 odd, with a mate fitting it for him. Im sure he said he needed it coding too, although i have read on here its plug and play as long as you have the right module. No doubt someone will confirm :)
