Hi
My mechanic tells me that if the engine management light is on and the EGR need replacing then it will fail it's MOT.
That's a lot of money for us just after Christmas...
Is there a way round this? I thought I'd heard that you could program the computer to get rid of the warning for EGR.
Is that right?
Thanks for any replies
Adri

My 2006 does not have them fitted since I bought the motor
no lights on the dash
GAP IID does show 2 faults when codes read
Passed its MOT in November with no problem
I take it 2007 models are different?

blank egr isn't going to do it, is it?
if the mot tester looks under the bonnet and sees a blanking plate then that's a fail from what I've read. I was thinking maybe the best way round would be to leave the knackered EGRs in place but find a way to turn off the EML
I'm no expert though so could well be wrong.
Cheers

Time for a different MOT test satiation.
Light on is a fail and yes if they see egr is blanked it’s a fail but most folks don’t look that hard.

Thx to all.
I'm thinking of buying a blanking kit and fitting that. I'll leave all pipes etc in place.
Who would be able to do the software remap?
I'm in Derbyshire.
Cheers

If it has any fault light showing on the dash it will fail its MOT, the MOT inspector cannot remove any component including covers during an MOT, if he can’t see it it he cannot fail it, yours appears to be a MY07, you will need the software available from site sponsors BAS to switch the light off permanently after the EGRs have been blanked, they also supply blanking kits or you can fit a new EGR valve It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

If you just unplug the EGR’s on a pre 2007 will that stop them working and leave them closed?
