EGR Cooler Delete / Bypass Kit for Nissan Navara D40 YD25 2.5L Euro 5 diesel engines (140kW). This kit is designed specifically for later D40 models equipped with the Euro 5 engine, identifiable by the EGR cooler mounted above the exhaust manifold.

Please compare your engine bay to the reference images. If you're unsure, send us your VIN and we’ll confirm compatibility for you.

The kit includes all necessary parts and detailed installation instructions to remove and bypass the factory EGR cooler. Installation can take several hours due to the cooler's position in the engine bay.

This kit disables EGR operation electronically without triggering fault codes or limp mode. The factory ECU continues to operate normally with EGR flow mapped to 0%.

Key Benefits:

• Prevents engine overheating and cylinder head damage caused by internal EGR cooler leaks
• Improved fuel economy and throttle response
• Lower intake and coolant temperatures
• Significantly extended engine oil life

We also recommend cleaning your intake system to restore full engine performance. This kit is available with or without an optional EGR crossover pipe removal kit (see last two product images or under the "Products" tab).

Compatible with:

• Nissan Navara D40 YD25 Euro 5 (140kW) with DPF:

  • Spain-built models with VIN starting "VSK"
  • Manufactured after January 2010 untill 2015

• Nissan Pathfinder R51 (Spain-built, VIN starts with VSK)

  • Euro 5 140kW YD25 diesel with DPF
  • 2010 - 2013

Note: This kit removes the hot-side intercooler pipe mounting bracket. While not essential, we recommend replacing the factory circlip-style pipes with an aftermarket upgrade such as the Plazmaman Circlip Delete Hot Pipe Kit to eliminate oil seepage and boost reliability.

Complete the modification with ECU tuning

The plate handles the physical blanking, while the required ECU calibration addresses EGR operation and monitoring. Installing a plate without suitable calibration can trigger EGR-related fault codes, an engine warning light or limp mode.

If your vehicle still needs this calibration, select the mail-in ECU tuning option above when ordering. This service requires you to send your engine ECU to us. Customers who already have suitable EGR calibration can purchase the plate on its own.

For installation and tuning at our Sunshine Coast workshop, submit an online tuning enquiry with your vehicle details.

Intake cleaning alongside the installation

Blanking the EGR passage does not remove soot and carbon already deposited in the intake manifold. Where deposits are restricting airflow, cleaning the intake can address that existing buildup.

Euro Car Electronics offers intake manifold cleaning, with ultrasonic cleaning available for suitable removed components. Request an intake cleaning assessment to arrange this alongside the work.

Installation and ECU tuning are not included in the plate price. The mail-in ECU tuning service is charged separately when selected.
