You have to blank it at the exhaust manifold end of the the system. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

do you know if it is the same shape blanking plate that goes at the throttle body end?

When mine was blanked (cooler was leaking) I blanked it at both ends, and yes the same plate fits in both locations. I've subsequently reinstated the EGR system for MOT reasons.

The emissions requirements don't care about the engine, or the long term effects breathing in exhaust gasses has on it.

It being “dirty” isn’t relevant, being inert is. It means that the combustion chamber temperature peaks can be lowered, greatly reducing harmful NOx emissions AND actually reducing the change of engine damage when combustion chamber temperatures are too high (such as holed pistons & burnt valves).

EGR’s are relevant to NOx emissions, DPF’s reduce particulate emmissions 👍 |

For anyone that believes that removal of EGR valves is victimless, here’s a short summary from the CDC on the fun consequences of elivated NOx levels that EGR valves are designed to limit 🙁

Er, yes I'm aware of what components do what in a diesel emissions system. The soot from poor combustion gets back into the intake, as the there's no DPF to filter it out of the EGR system. Simple timely cleaning of the intake will eliminate most EGR issues, which sadly is never done. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver. 1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project. |

If only the EGR was easier to get at. Cleaning it is easy, removing it from the back of the engine is a PITA. Jules |
