Having a snoop around my engine bay tonight and noticed this.... its really oily to point its very wet and almost dripping.. isit meant to be like this? If not what can be done to fix it?

It's the EGR. Have a search around. A lot of people, myself included, use a delete kit.

Wow, that is CLAGGY!

 

It comes off the inlet manifold with three hex bolts.  two are easy to reach, the third is a SOD to get....

Thats definately a wee bit, get it off of there and fit a delete pipe. Cheaper than a new unit

Weeeeeeeeeeeee as it goes across the workshop floor :')

Would this cause any loss of power poor mpg **** throttle response etc.. heard it could. Also with a delete kit will that make it perform better

Yes it would in that state.. Do us a favour if you take it off take a picture of the inside?

this happened to me, i just took the 90 degree bend off and i'm still scrapping out oily carbon, do what people have done and put a delete in its place. 

EGR delete.

I have a standard EGR pipe (not delete) that you're welcome to for £20

Once i take it out and say put in the delete kit. Would i need to take any bits off to give a good clean

Egr delete will need mapped out!

I think some tuners do it for £150, or incorporate it in a remap

So i cant just fit a egr delete kit i need get it mapped aswell

no you can get it done but the engine light will stay on until he car has been mapped to say that there is no egr valve in place, won't so any damage having the engine light on it's just annoying

So how do i go about fitting the egr delete properly. Heard people say something about getting a hissing and needing be done at the manifold.. im guna get the darkside kit do i remove the egr valve and put the pipe in at top then i wuess put blanking plate on manifold is this correct??.. i can live with light on dash until i get it mapped next year
