Mike - can you let us know if anything changes. Most people think about blanking when the EGRs have failed and with earlier Vins put on blanks when the EGRs have failed as a cost saving exercise. Maybe the clue to yours working is the fact you also replaced the EGRs as well so maybe blanks do work as long as the egrs also work - maybe their sensor is more critical than the sensor that detects whether gas comes through to the engine. Did you use blanks on the EGR or on the inlet port? Cheers Garry 07MY RRS TDV6 Arctic Frost Aspen Interior |

So far also my car is running fine. We may establish a range of cars that can be blanked of, so at least 8A123xxx and 8A158xxx are so far fine.

Am no expert on this so it is also a trail for me (with prime purpuse to cleanup inside), but choose the Stage 3 kit from cooling mist:

So far I have not noted any (pending) codes, am still puzzled as to why the P0401 is not popping up.
