All You Need To Know About EGR Delete:
With our EGR delete we don’t completely remove the system. Instead, our professionally done software just forces the EGR valve to stay closed. This means exhaust gases pass straight through instead of being sent back into the engine making your car run smoother, be more efficient and drive better.
Problems with EGR
Over time, EGR systems can clog up or stop working properly. When this happens, your car might lose power, not run as smoothly and have dashboard lights.
Will It Fail an MOT?
Diesel cars don’t go through the same strict emissions tests as petrol cars during an MOT. They mostly check for visible smoke, so an EGR removal usually won’t cause a failure.
Is the EGR Good or Bad for the Engine?
The EGR helps lower emissions, which is why car makers install them. However, over time, it can cause problems for the engine, like clogging, reduced performance and dashboard lights. That’s why some people choose to have the EGR delete with a simple software update.

How does EGR delete work?
An EGR delete stops the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system from sending exhaust gases back into the engine. This can be done in two ways:
- Software (Electronic) Delete
- Your car’s software (ECU) is modified to keep the EGR valve closed at all times.
- This tricks the engine into acting as if the EGR system isn’t there.
- No physical parts are removed, making it harder to detect during inspections.
- Hardware (Physical) Delete
- The EGR valve and pipes are physically removed or blocked off.
- Metal blanking plates or special kits stop exhaust gases from entering the engine.
- This prevents any carbon buildup from the EGR system.
What Happens After an EGR Delete?
- Exhaust gases no longer enter the engine, leading to cleaner combustion.
- Engine performance might improve slightly, since only fresh air is used for combustion.
- Less soot buildup, reducing the chances of clogging inside the engine.
- No more warning lights
Is It Legal?
In the UK, removing or disabling the EGR is illegal, and cars without it will technically fail emissions regulations. However, since diesel cars usually only go through a visible smoke test during MOTs, many people get away with it unless stricter rules are enforced.
EGR Delete and Car Remapping
Also called ECU tuning or engine remapping, this process changes the settings of your vehicle’s ECU (engine control unit) to unlock extra performance. Car manufacturers program these limits to meet strict rules set by government all over the world which often restricting performance.
This process is 100% safe and completely reversible with GUARANTEED noticable difference. We stand by our work with a lifetime warranty for software-related issues. If you ever want to go back to your car’s original settings, we keep a backup of your ECU software so you can restore it anytime.
With car remapping we guarantee a noticable difference with:
✔ More power and torque
✔ Faster acceleration
✔ Better fuel efficiency
Whether you’re interested in a Stage 1 remap or want to explore further tuning options, mobile remapping at Fast Road Tuning lets your car perform at its best. We also do DPF and AdBlue/NOx solutions and remove dashboard warning lights.
