VW Touareg Audi SQ7 SQ8 4.0 V8 TDI EGR & Cooler Delete Kit
Brand
Darkside Developments
Choose EGR blanking plates or the full EGR valve and cooler delete kit for your VW Touareg CR, Audi SQ7 or SQ8 4.0 V8 TDI. The full Darkside kit frees up space around the EGR assembly for better access to surrounding components.
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

Frequently Asked Questions
Which option do I need to remove the EGR cooler?
Choose the EGR & Cooler Delete Kit to remove the factory cooler and valve. Choose the blanking plates if the cooler will stay in place.
Will it fit an earlier 4.0 TDI SQ7?
The listed SQ7 application is the facelift 320 kW diesel with engine code DMVA. Check the engine code and original cooler number if your vehicle is near the facelift changeover.
Can I use my existing ECU tune?
Your tuner can confirm whether your current calibration supports the selected EGR configuration or needs to be updated.
