I think you are right Jason, the EGR's must be causing the muck - and I guess if the car is driven at low revs/power they are recircing a fair. And if they are sticking - then must be worse.

Mixed results must be due to the amount of build up in the hole - though it ould cause over boosting - assuming the boost is controlled by this sensor? Or sluggish control of the vanes??

It does beg the question, once you blank the EGRs should you try and clean as much of the sytem after them (into the manifold) to remove all this gunk, is there any other sensors or such like that will be gunked up?

Derek - do you mean not blanked their EGR's ? If yes, then see my picture Thumbs Up
 The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

cheapest way of blocking the EGR is using a 20 euro cent coin in the outlet pipe from the EGR valve , just add some grease to it to hold it in place while fitting them

Can't see your enquiry working there Derek, I have Blanked mine last year but that still means a few years of Build up and they don't self clean, or do they?

Agreed, gunk could easily be there pre blanking. Poll added to help with that. Head still fuzzy. Sad
