Sorry cant answer any of your questions on whether the system is completely and safely dissabled. Looks like youve already found the thread for dissabling and fooling the system w/ the resistor. I put a piece of industrial hose around the loom and its been fine for over a year now. |
Good idea. I'm tempted to pull the EGR valve, make a cap for the intake manifold, then find some sort of cap for the EGR valve tube. I'm not so sure how easy that would be since I'm sure it is a metric size.
That would be a pretty good way to make sure that no hot gas is coming up, but it would take <10min to out back together in the event that I have to pass emissions in the future.
If I could get my hands on a broken EGR valve I could cut the nipple portion off and weld a plate over it to seal it off.
Does anyone have an broken EGR valve laying around that they would be willing to part with?
