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.Thank you for the prompt reply matt.
as your the admin please feel free to delete my account as I only joined to ask about the cheater
many thanks and all the best

No, it doesn't affect the exaust or emissions.I keep wondering though, does this mod affect the exhaust in anyway? Should I be concerned about passing the M.O.T exhaust test?
Have you developed one for the z22yh engine?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

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

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

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