sorry, autocorrect on my phone. Seems there was a blockage somewhere in the manifold? Hooked the battery up to another car and kept trying to start the engine. Finally turned over, did a quick motorway blast at the top of the rev range in each gear and running sweet as a nut now. Smoothest and quickest the car has been in the 2 years I've had it. Absolutely no black smoke at all.Zebra?
You plugged the two plugs in? Are they secure?

Id love to do this clean up and gasket change, is there a step by step link anywhere on how to do this ? like a idiots guide to EGR cleaning lol
ive been watching this thread and I too went and bought the gaskets for a couple of quid as I was going to attempt cleaning mine out, as its started to make a horribly sounding rattle, turns out I new one of the lads at wearside audi and he got one of the lads out to have a listen. think he said it was the actuator constantly trying to open or close a stuck 'flap', like a crunching metal sound it was. he then advised me to just replace the lot as it would be a waste of time cleaning it. so I then started looking at just getting it blanked off instead to find that it will just put more ****e through my dpf filter.
so after calling durham remaps im now taking the plunge and going for the full works, dpf and egr delte with performance map, so after a dodgy egr valve and all that work I cant wait to feel the results!
I've given up on my EGR. , the EML has been left as it is lol I thought the BKD engine didn't have the DPF ?
How much is full works costing you , look foward to the outcome of your results
£500. Think it's £450 for 2wd.
To be quite honest I don't even know for sure if it has a dpf, had the car 16 month with no warning light or limp mode and most of my driving is just weekends around town, bad I know.
I think I can see what I think is the dpf judging from pictures. Unless the last person has already had it gutted out and fitted back and remapped it, first decent car I've had and never drove another similar so I guess I'd never know if it had been done before.
If its already done then it's just an egr delete for me so I'll save quite a bit money although I'll be secretly gutted if my car won't go any faster!
Feel like it's lacking power the last few weeks anyway and then the noise from the egr started, so it's probably blocked up that much it's not functioning properly.
I'm avoiding driving it until I take it in as it sounds like somthing is getting crunched up inside there and scared incase anything goes into the engine.
that will be the revised map and not a fault.-Misfires for a couple of seconds when starting from cold
-Seems very flat, (sems to not have enough torque) in 1st gear only.
Hello all,
this may be a silly question but when you take the EGR assy off does any coolant come out? i ask because on past cars ive owned this happens so would like to know before i take it off.
Cheers guys.

Hi mate, the car is getting MOTd tomorrow and being sold - it was just a cheap runaround for a bit so wanted to spend the bare min on it if possible. Cant believe how much crud came out of it!!I believe the BKD engine has a vacuum operated EGR valve. Why don't you just remove it completely?
