EGR blanking off? - 306estate2.0HDi - 06-12-2014 Does anyone know how to access the EGR to blank it off? I have the 2.0 HDi and the engines in them are slightly angled towards the bulk head would this mean i need to take off the engine mounts and rock the engine forward to gain access as it is quite tight down there? RE: EGR blanking off? - cully - 06-12-2014 check out the guides section i did this from above and blanked the elbow on the inlet http://306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=13047 RE: EGR blanking off? - DeeTurbo - 06-12-2014 I did the one in my girlfriends 206 HDI today. You don't need to move the engine forward at all to blank the inlet only if you remove the whole system. RE: EGR blanking off? - 306estate2.0HDi - 06-12-2014 I just looked at cully guide but i don't know where the vacum pipes are located, bloody crowded engine bays ! RE: EGR blanking off? - DeeTurbo - 06-12-2014 Vacuum pipes and solenoids are on the drivers side suspension tower. RE: EGR blanking off? - DeeTurbo - 06-12-2014 What year is your car? RE: EGR blanking off? - tuttyboy84 - 06-12-2014 Dee turbo did you make your blanking plate or buy one?? RE: EGR blanking off? - DeeTurbo - 06-12-2014 I made one today out of 1mm ally sheet. RE: EGR blanking off? - tuttyboy84 - 06-12-2014 What did you use as gasket? RE: EGR blanking off? - DeeTurbo - 06-12-2014 I replaced the elbow gasket with a new one but forgot to get one for the blank so I just sealed it with silicone as I won't be taking that off again. RE: EGR blanking off? - tuttyboy84 - 06-12-2014 When i replaced the elbow gasket it failed got any tips as im doing it tomorrow RE: EGR blanking off? - DeeTurbo - 06-12-2014 Just make sure you get all the old gasket off, clean any oil or grease of the mating surfaces with some solvents and maybe use a bit of gasket sealant on the surfaces. RE: EGR blanking off? - tuttyboy84 - 06-12-2014 Will do pal, i found it a pig of a job the first time im hoping it goes better this time round RE: EGR blanking off? - DeeTurbo - 06-12-2014 The first time is all ways a pain. No doubt you'll find it easier the next time round. It's strange for it to go so soon. RE: EGR blanking off? - tuttyboy84 - 06-12-2014 It failed as soon as i put it on i must have done something wrong , when i drive it sounds like its got a supercharger on it lol RE: EGR blanking off? - 306estate2.0HDi - 07-12-2014 Mine is a 2000 2.0 HDi estate phz 3 I would believe. Thanks for helping me locate the air pump for the EGR if I bodge it up with a bolt today then I can head onto the blanking plate another day. RE: EGR blanking off? - tuttyboy84 - 07-12-2014 I re done the elbow gasket today and it was still leaking!!! Turns out the mating faces are not flat enough so i shoved some cereal box in there and tighten it up ans now its sorted lol RE: EGR blanking off? - Toms306 - 07-12-2014 Lol, I give it a week before theres oil dribbling through there. RE: EGR blanking off? - tuttyboy84 - 07-12-2014 I can deal with a bit of oil its the whistling i cant bear RE: EGR blanking off? - DeeTurbo - 07-12-2014 There is a chance the pressure might burst through the oil soaked card. If it does you might need to make the elbow face as flat as possible. Maybe remove it and file it flat as best you can if it does. RE: EGR blanking off? - tuttyboy84 - 07-12-2014 Its only a temporary fix im making a blanking plate for the egr so ill get some good thick gasket paper and make a proper one for it i just couldnt stand the noise anymore lol
