The EGR valve is a component designed to reduce emissions, but over time it can cause a noticeable decrease in performance, roughness, and costly engine failure.
Discover how our electronic deactivation solution can restore your vehicle's efficiency and reliability.
What is the EGR Valve and why is it a source of trouble?
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve is an anti-pollution device found on most modern engines.
Its function is to reintroduce a portion of the exhaust gases into the combustion chamber to reduce the temperature and, therefore, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
Although its environmental purpose is clear, the constant flow of sooty and carbon-laden gases causes the valve and intake passages to clog. This is the source of many of the most common performance problems.
Common Symptoms of an EGR Valve Failure
A clogged or faulty EGR system manifests itself through a series of symptoms that directly affect driving and engine health:
• Loss of power and slow throttle response.
• Jerks or jerks, especially at low revs.
• Increased fuel consumption .
• Emission of black smoke from the exhaust.
• The engine fault warning light on the dashboard comes on.
• Hard starting and rough idling.
Our Process: Precise, Safe and Effective
The process is carried out meticulously to ensure a perfect, flawless result.
1. ECU Modification: Access the engine control unit software and completely disable the EGR valve's operating strategy. The vehicle will no longer request its opening or record related fault codes.
2. Physical Action (if necessary): In some vehicles, to ensure a hermetic and definitive closure, the electronics are complemented by the installation of a sealing plate (blind gasket) in the valve duct.
The Solution: Benefits of Electronic EGR Deactivation
-
Increased Engine Reliability:
By preventing dirt from entering the intake, the engine runs on only clean air, preventing carbon buildup and protecting its internal components.
-
Performance Recovery:
Your vehicle will regain the power and smoothness lost due to a malfunctioning EGR system.
-
Long-Term Cost Reduction:
You avoid costly repairs related to cleaning or replacing the EGR valve and other affected components (intake manifold, sensors, etc.).
-
Consumption Optimization:
An engine that runs more efficiently and cleanly can result in a slight decrease in fuel consumption.
Legal Notice and Important Considerations
At Digi-Tec, transparency is essential. It's essential that you understand the following implications:
Use and Legality: Disabling emission control systems such as the EGR valve may be illegal in many countries for vehicles operating on public roads, as it may increase NOx emissions.
This service is primarily intended for competition vehicles that do not operate on public roads. It is the customer's sole responsibility to inform themselves and comply with the legal regulations in force in the country where the vehicle will be used.
Vehicle Inspection (ITV): A vehicle with a disabled EGR valve may fail emissions tests during the technical inspection.
Manufacturer's Warranty: This modification may void the vehicle's official warranty.
