Blanking plate (Read 1150 times)

JamesV6CDX Omega Baron Offline Posts: 3202 Gloucestershire Gender: Drives: 2002 (02) 3.2 Retail MV6 in Star Silver with Leather	Blanking plate 16. Dec 2009 at 15:54 I need a blanking plate, to fit to the plenum, blank off where the EGR valve would use connect to the plenum. Time is very tight, so I'd gladly pay, if someone could make me one. Anyone fancy earning a few quid?

Anyone fancy earning a few quid? Thumbs Up!

Well, I might just fit the blanking plate, to seal the plenum, and then put the valve etc in it's original position

Dec 2009 at 17:40 If you go into any vauxhall dealership they will sell you a blanking plate. As they have them as a stock item. Then instead of the gaskit you would replace it with this and the egr valve bolts straight on through it again. If you do not have the egr valve connected the engine management light will be constantly on

Dec 2009 at 19:15 I think I know what you mean... removing the egr setup, so you need to block off the pipework completely, and just leave an egr connected to keep ecu happy.... ie not just the standard blanking plate / coke car between egr and pipework....

That's the one - one to go on the plenum... Thumbs Up!

Thinking about it, you could fit the EGR as usual, without the wiggly pipe from the manifold, and all would probably still be happy....

Dec 2009 at 19:56 I fitted an EGR blanking late to our Elite. The car now uses more fuel (but the car is mainly used on short trips every day), is that normal?
