Citroen C5 EGR Removal / EGR Delete
We now offer EGR Removal services for the Citroen C5 2.0HDI and 2.2HDI, both the 110bhp and 133bhp models. Our EGR removal service is not just blanking the EGR pipes whilst the on-board ECU continues to believe the EGR is doing it’s job and then deleting the error lights.. we offer a complete EGR De-Activation service.
We are able to switch off the EGR system, completely de-activating the EGR and by doing so – there is no need to fit blanking plates to the EGR pipes because the valve will always remain 100% closed. This EGR Delete is our very own in-house solution.
Common Citroen C5 EGR Valve Problems
- Loss Of Power
- Smoke On Acceleration
- Fluttering On Acceleration
- Missfire
- EGR Flap Position Sensor Faults
Sometimes you can remove the EGR valve and clean it – this can cure some faults and the EGR will start to work again, however, you need to ask yourself why the EGR got so clogged up in the first place. Was there a lot of oil sludge on the EGR valve or just carbon build up? – If there was a lot of oil sludge, then chances are your turbocharger is leaking oil and so it will be an on-going problem.
Instead of continuously paying out to have the EGR valve cleaned or even expensive replacements, why not consider de-activating the EGR system completely.. there are a lot of added benefits in doing so.

All of our EGR Delete solutions come with our lifetime software warranty and are completely reversible.
EGR delete is offered for off-road and motorsport use only. On a vehicle used on the road, emissions equipment that is missing, obviously modified or obviously defective is a Major defect at MOT — the DVSA MOT inspection manual names exhaust gas recirculation valves explicitly (section 8.2.2.1 for diesel, 8.2.1.1 for petrol), and this applies to vehicles first used on or after 1 September 2002. Separately, the Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986 make it an offence to use a vehicle on the road with its emissions equipment removed or rendered inoperative. If your EGR valve is sticking or clogged on a road-used vehicle, cleaning or replacing the valve is the road-legal fix.
