VW Audi Skoda 1.6 2.0 TDI EGR Blanking & Cooler Delete Kit
Brand
Darkside Developments
Darkside EGR blanking and cooler delete kit for selected VW, Audi and Škoda 1.6 and 2.0 common rail TDI engines with an oval exhaust-side EGR port. Choose the blanking plates to retain the factory cooler, or select the full kit for cooler removal.
Please Note: Once the valve is either removed or blanked off the vehicle's ECU will no longer get a signal from the EGR Valve causing the emissions workshop light to appear on the dash board. We can remove this by reprogramming the EGR software on the ECU.
Please Note: Euro Car Upgrades accepts no responsibility for the use of this part on the public roads where removal of emission controls is prohibited. It is the owners responsibility to ensure they comply with rules and laws relating to their home country
For the listed common rail TDI engines with an oval exhaust-side EGR port. Match the engine code and original EGR cooler number to the references on this page.

Darkside EGR Blanking and Cooler Delete Kit for VW, Audi and Škoda 1.6 and 2.0 Common Rail TDI with Oval EGR Port
Choose the EGR hardware that suits your off-road build. Darkside Developments offers a blanking plate set for vehicles retaining the factory cooler and a full kit with a coolant bypass pipe for vehicles having the cooler removed. Both options suit the listed 1.6 and 2.0 common rail TDI engines with an oval exhaust-side EGR port.
The conversion retains the factory anti-shudder valve (ASV) for smooth engine shutdown. The kit is manufactured in the UK.

ECU Remap and Intended Use
Both options require a compatible ECU remap for the modified EGR configuration. This product is intended for off-road and competition use only where emissions-system modifications are permitted.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tell which EGR port I have?
This kit fits the oval exhaust-side EGR flange. Enter your VIN when ordering so we can confirm the EGR cooler and flange configuration.
Does the full kit retain the anti-shudder valve?
Yes. The factory anti-shudder valve stays in place and continues to operate during engine shutdown.
Do I need an ECU remap with the plates-only option?
Yes. Blanking the EGR flow can trigger an emissions fault on the factory calibration even when the original cooler stays in place.
