Egr delete

[davy1100]

My car 04 1.9 tdi 130 I had the emission workshop warning come up on dash so I fitted a delete kit and removed the egr I took the car to a fella who re mapped the car and deleted the egr problem is after driving about 30 miles warning light came on chain I've both the hoses blocked that where connected to the egr is there anything else I need to remove is there anything electrical or a sensor anywhere I've missed any help or advice much appreciated

You should not talk about this on an open forum, what you and he have done is an environmental crime and nothing to be talked about.....

What was originally wrong with the egr ?

Sounds like the egr out remap file isn't all that .

Egr is all clogged up and leaking so I got a delete done but the light still comes on was just wondering if there was a sensor or electrical connection I've missed

As far as I can see doing a search, the Road vehicle (Construction and use) regulations states:

"Although it is not illegal to remove the EGR from your vehicle, it is an offence under the Road vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Regulation 61a(3))1 to use a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the air pollutant emissions standards it was designed to meet. Removal of the EGR will almost invariably contravene these requirements.

The potential penalties for failing to comply with Regulation 61a are fines of up to £1,000 for a car or £2,500 for a light goods vehicle. "

I am building a Golf 2 for a customer and I am retro fitting fuel tank vapour recovery and a Euro 5 specification metal catalyst with post cat monitoring and the ability to use Ethanol fuel right upto E85 when it is available. The only sad point is that although it will conform to at least EU4 standards I have no sensible way of getting it tested and recognised as such.
