I've had the exhaust manifold off today and while removing it I noticed there are 5 branches to it which surprised me as its a 4 pot. So when I removed the manifold it looks like the rear branch is for the exhaust gases to pass through the head to the EGR valve. Can anyone confirm that. Anyway i've blocked it off and if it works i'll look at welding up the manifold to make it a bit more permanent

I'd say you've answered your own question

I've read in so many places that you can't block the EGR on the 2.2 diesel though

May I ask for what reason it can't be blocked off?

I would think because of its position. I hope it works then I can keep my flaps clean

I hate it when my flaps get all gummed up!

[waspy]

Alright lads. No need to get in a flap

I've read a few times that the egr can't be blocked off on the 2.2 dti.  I'll be very interested to see how you get on Pete, and if blanking it off throws up any error codes.

And you can break right off for a start!

It's been a while since I had my 2.0 DTi but maybe the turbo is plumbed into the egr pipework somewhere?
The turbo's are variable vane so it might be best not to upset it...
