The EGR delete and remap were done by Motech in Northampton, I blanked the EGR off myself using VAG parts from Audi.
No knock in effects, I don't have a DPF but it won't have a negative effect, in fact it will be better as you get far less particulates without the EGR so your DPF shouldn't...
After dicking with my engine for a few months (BRE) I can wholeheartedly recommend getting the EGR mapped out and then blank it off. I also had a mild remap (+35hp/50Nm) at the same time.
The car pulls much better, engine is much smoother (used to hesitate a little at WOT going through the...
I had a very close call on way to work with the cheap Chinese tyres on that came with the car, I had to stand on the pedal when someone pulled into the roundabout I was in without looking and it made me realise that wet weather performance is just not worth compromising on.
Perfect, I don't thrash around the place but they give plenty of confidence in wet and dry, seem to be wearing well so far and the tread pattern looks really good on the car too
spent 5 hours on the car this afternoon...
First stripped the Inlet assy down, bearing in mind i cleaned the EGR valve around 5k miles ago it was in a terrible state again today:

Blue smoke is burning oil, if it's only from cold then somehow while the engine sits cold some oil is getting into the combustion system, could be a number of things but if it was someting serious like head gasket or turbo oil seals you'd see other symptoms including high oil consumption...
I know it's been a while since I last posted, I got sidetracked with a house extension so the inlet manifold and vacuum unit never got a look in...
Anyway, the car has been running well lately no issues on startup, still a little smokey on full load at certain speeds but only thing really...
Just been to Audi (it's around the corner from work) and paid £14 for an inlet manifold gasket and the valve. Looks like that's my sunday morning booked then....
Ok I've found the valve...
Can't seem to find anything that says what it does but for not a lot of money I think I'll change it, would be great if it solved the remaining niggles.
Cheers mate, I'll let you know how it goes!
