Hey guys,
There are a bunch of different posts about fixes, deletes, and replacements - but from searching and reading a ton of different posts - I need a much more definitive answer.. and I believe it will help a lot of others in the future who will develop this common problem.
First off - the EGR flapper motor died so I opened that up and flipped the plastic gear that was broken, superglued it together and fixed that issue.
Now I have the hissing sound coming from the EGR cooler.
Since I do not live in Cali - I need a cheap fix for this EGR cooler that doesn't take a lot of time.
** Now my question is - If I was to weld the EGR cooler valve open halfway would there be ANY issues - performance, mileage, engine codes that would come up because of this?
Do I need one of those VAGcom tuners if I choose to do this?
Or is it easier to delete the whole deal?
I'm trying to get a general consensus on what is easiest, cheapest and best to get rid of these emissions crap related expenses.
Please advise,
Thanks in advance.
