It's easier to keep on top of cleaning the EGR on the Z19DTH. I had one in my old Vectra, and just used to take it off, and clean it every 6 months. You can also get a different gasket which reduces the amount of EG coming back into the inlet to the minimum amount the ECU needs before throwing the EML on.

Hi.. New user here. Is the egr for Z22se discontinued? I really need one!

Dave_Gilbert

Do you mean the egr cheater? And blanking plate ?

Fikrey_Zekarias

Yes off course. My bad.

Welcome to the site.

Not sure if @[deleted] has discontinued them or if they're just out of stock. Without stepping on his toes or offending him then if you need one that quickly then try here.
If he can still get them I would suggest asking him, do you need the cheater too to go with that. If he isn't doing them then maybe this will help.

Fikrey_Zekarias

Thanks m8. Ordered a kitt already. Going to need More though in the future.

Might PM Matt and ask. Want to support the site.

HarleyPete

Fair enough, didn't want to offend Matt but at the same time was trying to help you out. Matt is a great bloke and I will always choose here first but it did look like they're no longer in stock.

Fikrey_Zekarias

Dont think he would since there are none on the shop. Hope not anyway. Hade to have one right away so i ordered one on eBay.

Dave_Gilbert

Matt got me a blanking plate last week so I think hes still doing them, best to pm him but hes been tagged so he should be here soon. I know hes a very busy man

Matt

I've just run out of stock. I need to order the parts to make another 20, which I'll be doing tomorrow.

HarleyPete

Okay @[deleted] wasn't sure if you had any more or if you were stopping doing them. Didn't want to offend you by offering help via Ebay but thought that maybe the member wanted them double quick.

Fitted egr cheater and the blankingplate... Went for a good test drive. No hickups so far.

By the way, what do you guys have to say about Zafira 1.9 CDTI ENJOY model 2007 170K km on the clock(110 Kw)? Asked price 4300GBP. I need a comute and family car. Maybe wrong thread but anyway.

Fikrey_Zekarias

Filled upp your stock yet Matt?

Fikrey_Zekarias

Driven more than 1000km since I fitted the egr cheater. Motor running like a dream. What a nifty little life saver!

I keep wondering though, does this mod affect the exhaust in anyway? Should I be concerned about passing the M.O.T exhaust test?

No, it doesn't affect the exaust or emissions.

Made my first cheater! Thank you guys for blueprints.
One last question, I used 1W resistors for the circuit, won't it cause any problems?

this is my latest version of the egr cheater, I see little point in retaining the plug on the engine loom, so now the egr cheater is designed to fit inside the loom tray 🙂

the latest version

[attach=full]19354[/attach]

first step is to open the loom tray, use a small screwdriver to release the clips

[attach=full]19355[/attach]

then cut only the four wires required and connect them to the egr cheater, the last wire can then be cut and taped to the loom.
the spare brown wire is not required anymore 🙂

then slide the egr cheater into the loom tray and reattach the lid, be careful not to trap any wires etc

finally remove the redundant egr valve and fit the vauxhall blanking plate

[attach=full]19357[/attach]

Have you developed one for the z22yh engine?

Hi. Is there any reason to suspect that this cheater won't work on a `Vectra b x25xe?
