so what exactly happens when you floor the throttle in the TD, what happens within the EGR? does the flap completely seal and stop any exhaust gases from entering, if this is true it seems that mine must not close somtimes when i floor the throttle because i get no power at all, then i back off and then on again and the power is back , its bloody annoying

You need to check the small braided vacuum pipe that goes from the egr solenoid thingy (next to the power steering fluid bottle) to the underside of the inlet manifold this tube gets blocked, or as in my case the inner tube was split just at the union, repairing this made a temendous difference.

thanks, do you or anybody happen to have a picture of which one you mean, at the egr assembly, number 1 on your picture i have a braided hose that connects to another part of the egr assembly, i will have a look for the other hose you mean,  so its from the powersteering area to the underside of the inlet manifold, how long is this hose, maybe that will help me to find it

Thanks guys, that answers my question.      Just trying to understand how this whole thing works. I had wrongly assumed the torbo'd air was also going through the main body of the EGR at inlet 5 in the diagram. 

I'm very confused why nobody has said this.. Point 5 is the only way air is going in to your engine! Put a blanking plate where you have the red line and your engine will not run as no air can get in.

I re-connected mine as the cruise control was all over the place on the M-way.
Also make sure you don't kink the 2 vac pipes that runs from the manifold to the solinoid below the alarm switch on the PAS resevoir.
Im battling at the moment to solve the code 96 egr valve out of range ive cleaned everything and changed egr.

Not that one but if you follow that you will come to the other one that goes onto a union sticking down from the underside of the manifold about mid point. that's where it blocks or splits.

That's what I've been thinking. I went out and looked at it again and came to that conclusion.
 So a 1 pence piece filed slightly made a perfect plug for the exhaust gas inlet.

Then again, how can you explain Omegatoy's post who has both orifices blanked.   [smiley=huh.gif]

AAAARRRGGGGHHHH sorry guys i didnt look at the picture,
no no no i block both ends of the egr pipe!!! one at the inlet plate and one  at the exhaust manifold, lol sorry for the confusion i tend to just assume everyone knows thier own engines!!

Your conscience will let you know when you've been punished enough.

sorry here too kneepad. didn't know that the egr on the TD is a combined unit.. on the petrol engine you can blank it, remove it or even blow it up inside a caravan & it won't affect your intake  I've looked at the diagram properly and you are right to only block No.6 exhaust gas inlet  I now understand the importance of the turbo on a diesel, if the intake for combustion is so small  well done for sorting it out, you can drive with peace of mind knowing you've just got rid of the nasty stuff

Right you go to the corner as well. 

No, the more I looked at it the more obvious it became that it had to  be a different setup from yours. I still appreciate everyones input. We can all learn from each other's comments.
