EGR helps TDI mileage?
Hi Tas,
So if I'm reading the last map correctly, in a modern diesel we want to lower O2 levels by adding more exhaust gas, and injection timing just a little before TDC for best fuel mileage right??
Many TDI owners eliminate the EGR with a block-off plate to reduce soot buildup. I have also read that some have suffered mpg losses in the process. Is it your opinion that a fully functioning EGR improves highway mpg?
If so, I may have to figure out an alternate location for a future EGT probe I'm hoping to install. (there is a nice kit out there with the thermocouple probe mounted in the block-off plate)
