Just wanted to bump up a good topic. I recently made and installed an EGR delete circuit on my wifes new to us 2005 E320 CDI. It's faily simple and uses one transistor and a few resistors. I found a thermal switch from china that's rated for 75 Deg C that I have purchased to help me make a "dynamic" EGR-one that allows EGR for startup only, and then turns it off. Right now I'm testing the non "dynamic" type circuit until I get my other components. Heres the thermal switch:

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

I will be using it with a DPDT relay to enable some fancy switching that will help avoid CEL's while switching between EGR emulation, and actual EGR flow.
