Gasoline Fumes · 12-07-2010, 04:17 PM

I know two people with TDIs. One of them disabled the EGR. He hasn't had any change in mileage that I'm aware of. I get paid to clean out the other guy's intake manifold. It's not hard to temporarily disable the EGR to test the MPG difference. But you will increase the NOx emissions and get a check engine light.
