EGR Delete & Diesel Tuning - A Clean Solution to a Common Problem

If you’ve owned a modern diesel long enough, you already know EGR problems are almost a rite of passage. Clogged valves, leaking coolers, rough idling, loss of power… the list goes on. But they’re easily and economically sorted, and the results can be transformative.

Our customer Richard came to us after discovering a major EGR leak on his Skoda diesel, and what started as a repair quickly became a complete transformation of how his car drove.

From Problem to Performance

We performed an EGR delete tune, recalibrating the ECU to disable the EGR system within the software while refining performance parameters throughout the torque model. The goal was simple: restore reliability, eliminate the fault, and unlock extra performance.

The outcome exceeded expectations; sharper response, stronger low-end torque, and noticeably smoother acceleration. But Richard noticed something else too…

Customer Feedback

“Not only did the tune perform the desired EGR delete from the computer system, but I got the added benefit of improved performance and economy. The noticeably faster acceleration and improved torque at lower RPM was a revelation. The Skoda was no slug to begin with, but this really changed the game and transformed my driving experience.

What was really surprising and something I still don’t quite comprehend was that on top of increased performance I also gained about 5–10% improved economy. This pushed my range on a tank of diesel from about 850 km out to 950 km. Awesome all around and highly recommended!”

The AutoUpgrades Approach

An EGR tune isn’t just about switching something off, it’s about rebalancing the entire engine calibration to run optimally without it. At AutoUpgrades, we use OEM-level methodology to ensure every modification integrates seamlessly with the vehicle’s factory systems.

All safety strategies remain active; boost, torque, and temperature management so you get a more powerful, more efficient engine that stays perfectly reliable for daily use.

The added bonus? Lower maintenance costs, no EGR-related breakdowns, and often, as Richard experienced, improved fuel economy thanks to cleaner combustion and reduced backpressure.

Engineered Reliability and Efficiency

EGR faults are among the most common causes of diesel frustration. Professional calibration resolves the problem at its root, improving performance while keeping factory safeguards intact. The result is smoother, cleaner, and more responsive power, all delivered with long-term reliability.

Experience the Transformation

If your diesel vehicle is suffering from EGR issues, there’s no need to keep fighting it. Our EGR tuning solutions not only solve the problem but also deliver smoother performance, cleaner running, and increased reliability, all tailored specifically for your vehicle.
