Yes, the 2.2 does have an EGR. It is right at the back of the engine on the passenger side of the block. Why do you want to remove it? :-/

You cannot remove it.
It must be plugged in, but you can blank it off

Thanks. I was thinking to blank it. Would I get EML if I blank it?

It wont make any noticeable difference IMO mate, but if you want to blank it off you must leave it connected. There are manufactured blanking plates for sale on the bay of e but most of the lads on here have blanked theirs using a coke can! (drink the coke first ;D)  ;) :y

Does this really make any difference blanking the EGR?
