just wondering

How did you work that out then ???
3 Failed all standard, one not failed - chipped. I think you would find that your sample size is statistically not significant etc etc etc"To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

The EGRs just get stuck with sooty crap - they arenü´t put under any more strain as a result of the engine being chipped so being chipped shouldn´t be a factor.Cheers

Not an issue Dunc; It's good to wonder Especially as I believe that the chipped ECUs open the EGRs much less...open less=less soot=longer lasting perhaps???Dr. Ian Malcolm:

Oh and even better to blank them off and rip out the strangulation butterfly valve too - massively reduces the "roundabout hesitation" that the TDV6 is prone to (even with properly working EGR and butterfly valves). On a pre-EuroIV emissions engine you can then relax in the knowledge that you just don´t care what happens to the EGR valves as they can´t cause any problems Cheers

Can this really reduce the hesitation when pulling away?
