EGR problem, solution re-mapping???

Post by Gedk66 »

Hello all..

My car is 2011 2.0 TDi Bluemotion Passat Estate

I have an issue with a fault code referring to an EGR problem. Engine light on, intermittent Pre glow light flashing (occasionally), sometimes goes into limp mode.

Local garage says replace the valve at a starting cost of £650+ any other unaccounted for extras such as gaskets etc.

Or, I have been chatting with a company called Sinspeed, that offer a re-mapping solution that basically deletes the EGR altogether. Less than half the price of

My questions are; What are the pros and cons with re-mapping? What should I be asking for in terms of what re-map? Are there going to be any issues with future MOT's? Any other heads up's would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks..
