Hi all

Curious if the what I've circled in the photo is a catch can ?

cheers mate !

this engine has done 295k on the clock and has the stock EGR .. i only just picked it up a few weeks ago .. you think its worth blanking out the EGR even though it has a catch can ?

I"m not a fan of disabling the EGR as one of it's features is to lower combustion temperatures. Also it's illegal to disable it. I've got three diesels and they all have the stock EGR system intact but I have installed catch cans on them all.

As an experiment I did install a blanking plate on my D40 and ran it for a couple of months and I reckon it was worse. Then I removed the plate and fitted a new EGR valve and I reckon it was smoother and ran better.

The blanking plates are cheap and easy to install. It might be worth trying out to see what you think.
