How many people have blanked and passed mot ok ?

I fitted the bypass kit, xmas eve and its the best thing I have done to the thing. Got my mot in feb, so will let you know if it passes

[toonarmy]

Which kit did you get I have ordered the straight through and blank plate to get rid of th pipe ?

I fitted the EGR AND blanked + removed the pipe from the manifold...

The MOT inspector isn't interested in what's fitted, simply what the emissions pump out

Yes I know what you mean but the thread was asking has anyone had trouble passing an mot after removing it cheers

Ahhhh, I see...
Well, put it this way, my X5 diesel has done over 150,000 miles (EGR removed) & the emissions were cleaner than the ambient air, as I was informed by my MOT inspector.

He reckoned that If I had a suicide wish,
that
I would probably die of old age before Exhaust poisoning with a pipe from the exhaust into the vehicle  ) ::)

The EGR removal makes such a tinsy difference it is barely worth comprehension.
A good oil & filter change & a dose of injector cleaner will do far more than an EGR ever will.

Provided your Oil / Injectors / Engine are in good order, the EGR removal will not effect your MOT viability at all - ever.

The difference will be only just noticeable, and you will get a tad more MPG most likely too.
