You cant remove it, its part of the intake manifold, the only thing you can do is blank it

Under new MOT rules (20th May 2018) EGR valves are now inspected for MOT.
EGR valves that have been blanked off or removed (emission systems tampering) will be a MAJOR defect. Engine MIL/EML is also a MOT MAJOR defect.
MAJOR defect results in automatic MOT refusal. :!:

Further more diesel smoke test has also changed. Fast pass has been abolished. Diesel emissions are now checked against MANUFACTURERS LIMITS - Know as plate value.
ALL Connects have manufactures limit listed on vehicles VIN label. :!:

Holy wow!.... Just out of interest, how do they check the EGR valve paul, without removing? For which, like mine, is not removable without removing the inlet manifold??

They will give it a visual check, they wont / cant dismantle it, they're not allowed, if they see a shiny blanking plate thats just been fitted they might question it, but it could be a new gasket !!

There's a lot of scaremongering out there, read the failure statistics since the new law, its been a month, have you noticed massive drop in traffic on the road due to everything failing its MOT's !!!

The EGR is permanently set up as part as the entire intake manifold?!?! Who's BRILLIANT idea was that?!?! Talk about planned obsolescence. Geez.It's like Ford doesn't want you making easy repairs. EGR valves are usually not that expensive or hard to replace.
