[bigjohnthomas]

A wink ? It meams ay ay lad crack on ,your doing a good job n all that
At least it did when I was a kid anyway
I suppose you disgusting creatures use it for to describe something pervi these days

[Redt4]

So if the egr is mapped out on a mk7 how will the mot station know?? Asking as it's something I have been looking into but don't want an mot failure due to it.....

EGR operating correctly lowers NOx,
Tis that they will be testing methinks.

High NOx outwith manufactures specs = FAIL (perhaps some leeway factored in, as per other emission testing)

I take it we will all have to unblock our EGR valves now then

Yes EGR valves that have been removed or tampered will be a MAJOR defect & result in automatic MOT refusal.

I politely warned this Forum nearly 2 years ago of these impending changes for MOT rules. People are still saying it will never happen.

Well it's just been made public

I was always under the impression that emissions were better with an egr blank? Anyone know what the pass rate would be for mine as i might take it to get a voluntary emission test prior to the mot? Looks like i will take out the blank the day before and refit the day after worst case.

Manufacturers emission limit will be listed on vehicles VIN label.
From 20th May2018.All diesel emissions will be tested against that limit.

EGR valve is part of emissions control.

EGR valve blanking plate fitted.....
Emissions control equipment fitted by manufacturer Missing, Obviously modified or Obviously defective - Major defect = MOT REFUSAL.

Remove blanking plate.

How would that go with mk7 fwd with mk6 tddi in it ??

Good question i know kit car builders etc who have to write to the manufacturer of there donor engines to get the manufacture date etc in order to get the emission limit as well as an age related nunber plate etc. Might have to do something like that.

Different engines - New rule applies...

Vehicles first used on or after 1 September 2002 fitted with a different engine must to tested to the requirements relating to the age of the vehicle.
If an engine has been modified in any way, it still has to meet the exhaust emission requirements according to the age of the vehicle.

For EGR valves it's a visual check for the moment as of May 20th 2018. So if it been removed or tampered with ie blanking plate fitted. It's a major defect.
It applies to all Diesels including Petrols.
