What does an EGR do, and what are the benefits of deleting it?

Sorry I've searched, but couldn't find an answer!

EGR = exhaust recirculation valve. Takes a quantity of burnt exhaust gases and sends them round for another go. This causes the EGR unit and inlet manifold to eventually clag up with soot/gunk. Deleting it resolves this issue - always get clean air then.

Replacing daytime running lights
Skoda Fabia Mk3 (2014-2021)

Replacing daytime running lights

yaggiboom · 20 minutes ago20 min

Can anyone please point me in the right place to find out how to change the daytime running lights situated in the headlight housing on my 2016 Fabia estate? I rarely use Briskoda because the search facility for information never returns and content for what I am looking for. So I am asking if anyone can help me. I've searched video hosting sites, and I have found little information pertaining to the 501 Bulbs W5W type. Pleas help. Thanks.

Strange sound when turning right

mbi4628 · 28 May28 May

Hello everyone, first time posting here. I wanted to ask about a strange noise coming from my car when turning right. I only really noticed it getting worse after a 600-mile road trip. At first, I suspected it could be the power steering pump, but I’m also wondering if it could be related to the power steering fluid. The car is relatively low mileage (under 50k), but I doubt the power steering fluid has ever been changed or topped up. Would anyone be able to listen to the sound and give some a

P008700 - Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too Low

sgt1297 · 17 August, 20205 yr

2012 1.2tdi Greenline Fabia II. Keeps throwing up the fault code P008700. Coil/glow plug light flashes for the remainder of the journey but resets when you come to start the car again. Does not go into limp mode and is intermittent. Changed fuel filter, in tank lift pump, fuel rail, fuel rail pressure sensor and fuel rail pressure regulator, but still appears periodically. Any suggestions as to the cause or other courses of action to try and eliminate this issue. Thanks

Hi, new to forum. Hopefully someone might be able to help. 2011 Octavia Scout, 2.0 diesel. Will start and immediately cuts out. No comms with any module except ECM via k-line. Have changed Gateway module, ECM and instrument cluster for known working units. Unplugged every module. Checked every fuse. All relays good. Other faults - electric windows not working, engine fans running, parking brake warning light flashing. Do not appear to have any commas on Can Bus, would be grateful for any suggest
