— EGR Delete
An EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) delete is a service we offer to permanently remove or disable the EGR valve from your vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU). This modification helps prevent the emissions warning light from appearing on your dashboard.
Causes of EGR Valve Failure
The EGR valve is essential for minimizing harmful emissions produced by your engine. It facilitates the consistent recirculation of exhaust gases, which can lead to a buildup of carbon deposits in the intake manifold and the valve itself over time. This accumulation can result in the following issues:
- Symptoms of EGR Valve Malfunction:
- Loss of engine power
- Reduced fuel efficiency (lower MPG)
- Impaired throttle response
- Activation of limp mode (restricted engine performance)
- Illumination of the engine management light
- Flashing glow plug indicator
EGR valve failure can severely impact performance, leading to inefficient fuel combustion and a noticeable decrease in power.
Benefits of an EGR Delete
By performing an EGR delete, our team at 117Speed effectively codes out the EGR valve in the ECU, resulting in numerous advantages for both the vehicle and the driver, including:
- Elimination of Emissions Warning Light: The emissions workshop light will no longer be triggered on your dashboard.
- Enhanced Driving Experience: Improved throttle response and overall vehicle performance.
- Lower Engine Temperatures: Contributing to better engine efficiency.
- Improved Fuel Economy: Achieving better mileage due to more efficient combustion.
- Reduced Oil Contamination: Enhancing engine longevity by minimizing contaminants.
- Decreased Carbon Deposits: Maintaining cleaner engine internals over time.
