As long as your van has a mot it is legal to drive on the road and your insurance is valid.
I would continue and have it replaced and stay legal, absolutely agree with what you have said and not to tamper or delete the ad-blue either.
It is indeed unlawful.
Not exactly true, it simply means it was legal on the tested elements at the time of the test. It could be illegal on the drive home and as we all know an insurance company may well use that as an excuse not to pay out. As Sasquatch says, that’s unlikely though for EGR. Unless potentially if you get pulled at a VOSA checkpoint I suppose.
Who cares when you can save yerself some £££££££££££££££££££££!!!
This comes under the philosophy that if a tree falls in the woods when there’s nobody around to se or hear it, has it really fallen
So. If someone was to delete their egf etc, then somehow get ‘caught’ ( they won’t) then they could mitigate by saying that @The Flying Scotsman made me do it.
Well after I went down the good boy route of paying for the EGR to be replaced twice. When it failed for the 3rd time I opted for the bad boy route.
I had mine mapped out after reading all about the EGR being the reason for the premature death of the 204 CXEB engine. Whilst I can afford to maintain my van, I can't justify £15k just on a matter of principle. I can have it mapped back in if I need to for any future more stringent emissions checks.
Although they are very effective at reducing NOx emissions, so they are a very good thing in thet regard.
Exactly this
That's my view on it (and AdBlue too!)
They look good! Do you have a link to the eBay seller?
