Recognise any of these?

  • EGR fault code on the dash, usually P0400 or similar
  • Engine running rough, especially at idle
  • Noticeable drop in power or throttle response
  • Black smoke on acceleration
  • Vehicle entering limp mode intermittently or persistently
  • Already cleaned or replaced the EGR valve, and the problem has come back

If your diesel is showing one or more of these, the EGR is a likely culprit. And if you've already tried cleaning or replacement with limited long-term success, a software delete is the next logical step.

What a software EGR delete actually involves

We remap your vehicle's ECU, the engine control unit, so the EGR valve is no longer part of the engine's operating cycle. The valve stays in the engine. We don't touch it, disconnect it or remove it. The change is entirely in software.

This matters practically: there are no gaskets to disturb, no fixings to shear on a high-mileage engine, no risk of damaging nearby components. We connect to the OBD port, write the revised map to the ECU, confirm the result, and clear any EGR-related fault codes. Done.

The whole process takes 60 to 90 minutes at your location.

Frequently asked questions

Is EGR delete legal for vehicles driven on UK roads?
No. EGR delete is for off-road and track use only. Modifying the ECU in this way removes part of the emissions control system, which means the vehicle no longer meets UK road legal requirements. Do not book this service if your vehicle is used on public roads.
Can the remap be reversed?
Yes, in principle, the original map can be restored. However, this is an additional process. If you're unsure whether a delete is the right choice, speak to us before booking.
What happens to the EGR valve after the remap?
It stays in place, inactive. The ECU no longer sends signals to it, so it neither opens nor closes. Over time this is effectively a neutral state for the component.
I've had the DPF cleaned already, can you delete that at the same time?
Yes. EGR and DPF deletes can be handled in a single visit on most vehicles. Mention both when you call so we can confirm and price accordingly.
Do you cover the whole of Stockport?
Yes. We cover Stockport and the surrounding Cheshire and Greater Manchester areas, Cheadle, Hazel Grove, Bramhall, Poynton, Marple, Romiley, Bredbury and more. All within our 40-mile operating radius from Eccles.
What should I tell you when I call?
Vehicle make, model, engine size and year is the key information. It lets us confirm the remap is available for your ECU and give you a firm booking rather than a provisional one.
