I couldn't tell which diesel you were experimenting with but if I recall correctly some TDI owners have suffered worse mileage by disconnecting EGR without addressing the factory tuning parameters. If you are interesting I can try to find the link on TDIclub.
Tks a lot. I have TDI Club and I have a TDI car also. Skoda.

I am experimenting with a Mercedes 1993, model diesel turbo, 6 cil in line.
