Throw away your EGR and save MPG
Sorry Steve (!) . . . but just returned from a 1556 mile trip from Somerset to the beautiful Isle of Arran and Gatehouse of Fleet to return the best MPG I've ever seen. 45.5mpg where previously I've never seen better than 41mpg. (Six months ago I removed the EGR and blanked off the orifice).
PS the diesel Tourer has now done 153K and is as smooth (remapped by Big Russ) as when I bought it 9 years ago.

"Anything you can do I can do better . . ." (But now I'm confused: I thought you were all for retaining the EGR - as long it's fettled, polished, gleamed - possibly re-silvered etc etc)

Yes i am all for having a clean EGR manifold & MAP sensor, but the choice for the EGR being gutted/fettled and blocked off is personal to each person, and also some may not be able to gut them, i do not like the after market bypass EGR they look out of place, I think you have guessed which one i have on my car, if not a clue below ever since 2011 1 2

Ahh, yes. MB. Something happened. He doesn't post anymore. I enjoyed his posts and advice. Yours, too, Steve! You're both gurus in my book.
Cheers, Glenn
