SERVICE EXPLAINER
The EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve routes a controlled portion of exhaust gas back into the intake manifold. The purpose is to reduce combustion temperature and lower NOx output. On a diesel doing mixed motorway work, the system can function tolerably over time. On a diesel operating on urban routes, short runs, and regular idling, common for vehicles working in and around Cheadle, the carbon load carried in the recirculated exhaust gas builds up faster than normal operating temperatures can clear it.
The valve fouls. The intake passages accumulate deposits. The ECU detects that the EGR circuit is not performing within its specified parameters, logs a fault code, and reduces engine output to protect the drivetrain. The engine enters limp mode.
A software delete removes the EGR system from the ECU's operating map entirely. We connect via the OBD port and write a modified map that stops the ECU from commanding the EGR valve. The valve stays physically in place, no blanking plates, no unbolting, no disturbing corroded fixings, no gaskets. The engine runs without the EGR cycle, and the fault codes are cleared at the end of the visit.
VEHICLE TYPES
We cover a wide range of diesel commercial vehicles and cars. On the van side, this includes the Ford Transit (both TDCi and EcoBlue engine variants), Mercedes Sprinter (CDI), Vauxhall Movano and Vivaro, Volkswagen Transporter T5 and T6 (TDI), Volkswagen Crafter, Renault Trafic and Master, and Fiat Ducato. We also carry out EGR deletes on diesel cars across a range of makes and models.
Compatibility depends on available tuning files for the specific vehicle, engine family, and year. Not every variant is covered. If you are unsure, call 0161 694 7331 with your make, model, engine size, and registration year before booking.
MOBILE PROCESS
We arrive at your location, home, workplace, yard, or car park in or around Cheadle.
Pre-remap diagnostic, we read and log all current fault codes before any work begins.
ECU remap, we write the modified map via the OBD port.
The EGR system is disabled in software. No engine bay access required.
Verification, the map is confirmed written correctly.
The engine is restarted and checked.
Fault codes cleared, all EGR-related codes are cleared from the system.
Done, typical duration is 60–90 minutes from arrival to completion.
COST COMPARISON
The £220 covers the visit, the remap, and the verification. There is no call-out charge, no diagnostic fee, and no per-hour billing.
For context, a physical EGR valve replacement typically costs £300–£600 fitted, depending on the vehicle and whether there are complications from corrosion or surrounding components. A valve replaced under those conditions will foul again under the same driving pattern, cleaning cycles in between add further cost without changing the underlying outcome.
If you also want the DPF deleted in the same visit, the combined EGR and DPF delete is £445.
LEGAL / DISCLAIMER
EGR delete is for off-road and track use only. A vehicle with this modification fitted does not comply with current UK road emissions requirements and must not be used on public roads. The ECU remap removes a component from the vehicle's original emissions certification. Responsibility for the vehicle's use after modification rests entirely with the owner.
