I drive a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0T. The exhaust system of my car gets clogged frequently because I only drive 4 miles daily. Would deleting the EGR help with the exhaust problems? I live outside the US.

Bought a 2016 sprinter van that already had the delete done (legal in my province in Canada) can gets amazing fuel economy for its size 10L/100km~. Motor should last nearly forever…

Egr is a terrible design. It's so stupid. It causes cars to run ultimatley worse, consume more fuel and break, I thino that's worse for the environment in the long term.

Brilliant! Thanks for the clear explanation. Think I`ll stick with legal side here in the UK. But that`s an individual choice so each to their own. Good luck everyone!

I guess you are talking about diesel engines, as EGR is not common in otto circle.

Diesel engine do not knock from a lean condition, this is exactly how they control power generated, inside the operating range, more fuel, more power, less fuel, less power...

Zdravo imam 2.0hdi i imam dvije metalne plocice da ga “izbrisem” dali te plocice samo stavim izmedu da ga blokiraju ili da ga fizicki odstranim te montiram plocice ?

PCM knows if engine gets to much air through the O2 sensors and will adjust the fuel accordingly. Plus there is a MAF sensor, MAP sensor so lots of ways to determine the amount of air in the engine. Just replaced my EGR with a cheep one and after a while my Ford gets limited to 3000 rpm (with EGR codes) so thinking of deleting the sucker.

[killabee]

Removing EGR may cause engine knock. I also don't want pumping loss I will keep my EGR.

[bradleyhomer]

I’ll care about emissions when the government puts them on all their vehicles

[BSBS]

Will deleting egr cause smells in the cabin ?

[No-timeforimbeciles]

You fail to mention that deleting the EGR can also cause significant damage to the turbo
