Forgive me if the info is spattered in various posts... but here's my dilemma. I think that a VW diesel is an environmentally friendly vehicle (when compared to other vehicles, not bikes). As a person who values clean air/clean water, I want good emissions controls on my vehicle.
However, then there's me not wanting to deal with a clogged intake manifold every 50K. So... what are my alternatives for decreasing the rate at which I have to deal with a clogged intake and then, what are the effects (compared to stock) of various mods on emissions??
So far, here's the mods I've seen:
- decrease EGR settings to just above the legal limit
- totally eliminate usage of EGR
- CCV filter arrangement
Are there others?
So far the arrangement I seem to like best is a CCV filter mod (but not the kind where oil drips on the ground). However, if there's less oil going through there, will more soot end up being emitted?
Thanks!
