Part identification help.

[Alex.L]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this part. It's in-line with the crankcase breather hoses. On a 2003 AUM 1.8T 8L1.
Thanks!

This is the EGR valve.

Thanks so much

Most people owning 1.8t's get rid of the secondary air pump and of this EGR valve... Just another thing likely to break

Yeah, but removing it requires remapping of ECU doesn't it?

Sai removal guide

well as promised, heres my guide to removing the sai on the s3, first off i apologise for the lack of detailed pitures, i got half way through the job and realised i had forgot to take any, so ive done my best to highlight the important bits with things removed also i would reccommend that...

Here is a detailed tread on how to do it. In theory yes but a resistor mod is good enough.

Excellent, big thanks
