Why oh why would an insurance company be worried about blanking off an EGR valve?  ;D

Well I removed my EGR last night and fitted a blanking plate made out of a coke tim. Took all of 20 minutes and that was because I couldnt find the right size drill bit lol

Hopefully no more leak  :y

coke tin etc will just prove it works....give it a month and it will have melted through.


Needs to be MUCH more substantial.

A hypothetical question.   Was meant to be taken as such.

Many people do modifications without giving the insurance companies a thought.

A valid point - I mean, in the 'real world' it's highly unlikely to be a problem.. but you're right, insurance companies do like to do everything possible to wriggle out of insurance claims!
