Hi Martin, you need to do an engine software update.Run through the SPS on your TIS and it takes you through it step by step.It will determine the present softwear and show you any new software available from your version of TIS.Hopefully this will have a small box indicating the new software will disable EGR.

Ps Advise a stable battery charger connected during the procedure

If it is possible with that model. Just go into Service Programming, Request info, plug Tech 2 into the PC. Enter details, It will then tell you if an update is available. If it is, Load software onto Tech 2, reconnect to car. go back into service programming, program ecu, hey presto Fannies your Aunt and bobs your uncle.

( Assuming that you have security access )

make sure you have the security codes before re-programming, just in case it asks for the codes or in case anything goes wrong.

H.T.H. Tony.

Hi Martin,
were you, at any any point in the SPS procedure asked for a cyl head part no? If so specify the new part no as this has no EGR

Many thanks for response, didnt see at any time any reference to cylinder head part numbers or egr etc, i'll presume that i have updated the software but didnt disable egr, will have to dig a bit deeper and await customer feedback. Again many thanks for the replies.
