Can EGR cause white smoke?
Can EGR cause white smoke?
White Smoke – while that pesky Valve can cause an abundance of black smoke billowing from the pipes, a failing EGR Cooler actually emits white smoke, or steam, caused by evaporating coolant inside the cooler. When you see white smoke, call for help.
Is there a way to remove EGR from a car?
We can completely de-activate the EGR system on most vehicles old & new, our service is a completely bespoke and custom EGR delete service from start to finish. For more information, please call us for a quote today on 0844 847 9999.
Can a diesel engine have an EGR problem?
EGR valves are fitted to both petrol and diesel engines. The EGR Valve system effects all vehicles and below you can see we have had experience with all types of vehicles suffering from EGR problems. How much are you expected to pay on average for repairs?
How does an EGR system improve mpg?
Remember, oxidizing fuel only generates HEAT. This heat must act upon the gasses in the cylinder by expanding them generating PRESSURE. It is the pressure that forces downward on the piston. If the same amount of heat can generate more pressure, you have more power. EGR has been shown to slightly improve MPG.
Is the EGR delete a performance gain or loss?
EGR delete without a remap of the ECU will give no performance benefit but will increase emissions. But it does simplify things greatly. A remap is unlikely to give collossal gains in power, but there will be some. Either way it’s not an engine killer.
How does an EGR disable work on a diesel engine?
This option is technically a “EGR disable” instead of a delete, but the option still works. 1. An EGR delete kit can increase your exhaust gas temperature. Diesel engines typically cool the exhaust gases generated, then recirculate them back into the system. When you bypass this feature with an EGR delete kit, then the exhaust remains hot.

Can a non EGR truck burn clean without smoke?
It also helps the coolant itself maintain a better condition as its not subjected to those temps. In a way you have slightly enlarged your cooling system with an egr delete. With proper tuning, a non egr truck can burn clean without any smoke, pull heavy loads and maintain proper fluid and exhaust temps.
Do you need to install a EGR delete kit?
If your EGR valve is already blocked with soot, then you’ve created an EGR delete without the need to install a kit. That’s why some owners choose to just keep the valve instead of run with the delete kit.
