Blanking off egr valve

Recommended Posts

I have a 2009 IS 220d which keeps getting the erg valve blocked and goes into limp mode.  I am considering getting it blanked off and the ecu re-programmed.

Has anyone else done this on this model, and was it successful?

Hi  Thanks for your response.  I think that the dpf is the next problem you get after the egr valve clogging up, so I am hoping that a egr valve deletion and remapping will prevent any further problems. I understand that dpf removal is probably illegal in the UK, although a lot of people seem to do it.

It's not just the dpf, modifying any part of the emission control system is a major fail.
