COST COMPARISON

An EGR valve replacement typically costs £300 to £700 fitted, depending on the vehicle and whether corroded fixings or surrounding components complicate the job. That figure assumes a straightforward swap. On older vans, or vehicles that have already been through one or more EGR replacements, the cost of the job and the time off the road add up quickly alongside any cleaning intervals in between.

A software EGR delete costs £220. One visit. The valve is disabled in the ECU permanently, the ECU stops commanding it and stops monitoring it. There are no parts to order, no follow-up cleaning schedule, no second replacement in eighteen months when the new valve fouls in the same conditions.

If a DPF delete is also required, both are handled in the same visit for £445. No second call-out, no additional fee.

The maths is straightforward. The comparison does not need dressing up. The question for most operators is whether they want to keep cycling through repairs or remove the EGR system from the software and move on.

SERVICE EXPLAINER

The delete is a software-based ECU remap. We connect to the vehicle through the OBD port, no engine bay access, no dismantling, no blanking plates or gaskets involved.

We read the existing ECU map, write a modified version with the EGR cycle removed from the software logic, and verify the result before leaving. The EGR valve stays physically in place. The ECU no longer commands it, no longer monitors it, and no longer logs fault codes against it. The modification is permanent, it is written into the ECU, not a patch that wears off.

Fault codes related to the EGR system are cleared as part of the job. The vehicle leaves the visit with a clean fault code log for the EGR system and an ECU that will not generate EGR-related codes going forward.

LOCAL CONTEXT

Heywood sits at a well-connected road junction, putting it squarely on the distribution and delivery routes that run between Rochdale, Bury, and north Manchester. The area has a significant concentration of warehousing, logistics units, and light industrial businesses, most running fleets or individual vans on short and semi-urban routes. That type of driving, low speed, frequent stops, regular idling, is precisely the pattern that accelerates EGR carbon build-up on diesel engines. We cover Heywood and the surrounding area directly from our base in Eccles.

FAQs

Is there a call-out charge on top of the £220?
No. The £220 is the full price for the EGR delete, the visit, the remap, and the verification are included. There is no separate diagnostic fee or call-out charge. If the job cannot be completed for any reason (ECU not communicating, file not available), no remap charge applies.
Can you do the EGR delete and a DPF delete in one visit?
Yes. Both remaps are carried out in the same visit. The combined price for EGR and DPF delete is £445. If only the EGR delete is needed, that is £220. Call 0161 694 7331 to confirm which modifications your vehicle requires.
Which vehicles can you remap?
Most common diesel vans and cars are covered, Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Vauxhall Movano and Vivaro, Volkswagen Transporter and Crafter, Renault Trafic and Master, Fiat Ducato, and diesel cars across the major manufacturers. Compatibility is subject to available tuning files. Call with your make, model, engine size, and year and we can confirm before you book.
How long does the job take?
Typically 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to completion. That includes the pre-remap diagnostic read, the remap itself, the verification, and clearing the stored fault codes. The vehicle can be at your home, workplace, yard, or car park, no garage access required.
