@@Wanderer25 nice! Yes, that is very unfortunate. Don't know how much they check but would you be able to just do the tune with the deletes and just have the EGR as paper weight. This is how I was for few years only had the tune with EGR coded out

Great video! Thanks for putting this together. 2015 CD here, deleted and running Oakes tunes. I want to get rid of the egr crap and clean my intake, this helps a lot. I do have one question, what is the "solenoid" you are removing at 27:00 minutes?
@@OverHereAndOverThere Audis fancy name for it is (Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Control Solenoid. Part# 1K0906283A). And happy to hear this video is of help!!
So all this time on from install, hows she running? Still no issues?? My tuner is majorly concerned about turning off the coolant bypass code thats been thrown since removing the egr and coolant solenoid. Said it connected the two heads and helps regulate temperature? Curious how your experience has been without this component to "regulate" temps. Thanks for any input ! ❤️
@@jstyle_designs no issues from the install. Still running strong. Reason you are getting a code is bc the EGR cooler has been removed from my understanding from your comment. There is no harm in removing/ tuning that out. All that the EGR does is recirculate the exhaust fumes (dirty air) back into the intake with clean air. And that's why there is so much carbon build up in the intake portion. And prior to doing the delete kit I had the Q7 tuned and it had the EGR deleted in software even tho I still had the physical EGR still installed. That's why when I removed the intake at first there wasn't too much carbon build up. Got the tune out around 31k miles and when I finally removed the tune I think I was around 70k miles, so for about 40k miles I had the EGR tuned out and had no issues. No issues at all on temps. Colder weather is around the corner here in Colorado but I don't believe there will be much difference from last year's cold weather.
@markb6s4 thanks for the input man ! I was more referring to the swirl flap or whatever the coolant thing is on top of the EGR but from your vid that was removed so I gather it's all smooth sailing ❤️ really appreciate the input man not a huge amount of knowledge here in aus for these!
@@jstyle_designs the solenoid will come out with the EGR which is actually vacuum lines. The vacuum lines will get removed and some will get plugged. Now I am no tuner, so I don't know if that vacuum lines will be the same with the EGR or if it's a different coding needed.
Great video, I am preparing for this but also the harmonic balancer. I have a feeling the cold weather is all the sudden causing some of them to fail, I already saw 3 posts about it on FB. My EGR is disabled at the moment but the delete is coming next. I already hate how long it takes to warm up.
@@CateraMV6 the harmonic balancer is a must for sure. I took have seen the post on FB for some unfortunate people as it that rubber going out mid drive
Car still performs the same, all this does is limit the carbon build up tremendously by not recirculating the exhaust fumes (dirty air) back with the clean air from the intake side. By having carbon build up in the intake portion the inner diameter of the intake gets smaller which then limits the air interning the engine bc the carbon just keeps on building up over the years
Hey Mark, Do you drain the Adblue from the two tanks or leave it there? I was able to drain the small front tank, but do not know how to drain it on the big rear tank? Any idea? Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks

Hello Mark, Great video, as always! Since you have stage 2 with Prime-Cat, DPF (Full Delete), do you not need to re-tune with the EGR and Cooler Delete? I wanted to do the same since I have stage 2 TuneZilla. Great that you share a SUSTDI website.
@@svann471 when I got my stage 2 tune. I selected the EGR delete and the other deleted stuff options. So for about few years the EGR cooler was just paper weight on the engine. And when I finally did this kit there was nothing I had to do.
@@markb6s4 Thanks for taking the time to reply. I just deleted my DPF and EGR (block off EGR with block plates). I am considering doing the EGR cooling delete next using the same kit from SUSTDI.
@@svann471 I recommend it and it gives you a good opportunity to also change out the gaskets if the oil cooler. From what I have seen and also experience the oil cooler with time does tend to fail and create a pile of oil / coolant in the valley area of the engine
Great Videos as always Mark, where did you see that Malone tune does delete vacuum solenoid valve's which operates EGR and coolant bypass valve. In the add-ons descriptions only says "Remove DPF, Adblue,.EGR, and/or Intake Swirl Flap" on their website. I guess what i'm trueing to ask are you sure those vacuum lines are not needed any more for coolant bypass valve specifically? How was your experience with the kit and using car after install! Any issues ! Thank you for the help!
@@MilanDisljenkovic that is exactly what you need selected as you mentioned. Vacuum lines that are plugged had to do with the EGR cooler itself. Since that got removed, any wire harness to it doesn't send a signal to the EGR any more which means no CEL. Though there is still vacuum on the lines that are left, it's really not being used anymore And no issues at all
@@markb6s4 Thank you for the feedback Mark. Appreciate that. Was not sure how this will affect that coolant bypass valve since that is vacuum operated.
Hey Mark, can you tell me all the exact parts I need to order off SusTDI to get the delete done? Lots of parts and I don’t know what to order. Thanks in advance
@ Thanks so much! I just bought a high mileage 2013 porsche cayenne diesel 3.0TDI and wanted to delete it and get rid of the codes. Any idea what engine oil I should use for snowy climates? Some people are saying Liqi Moly TopTec 4200 5w30 is good all around, but 0w30 is also an option. Thanks
@@Swim403 I live in Colorado, so we get winters and we also get hot days. And thats exactly the oil I use on my car the liquid moly top tec. I have not had any issues with that oil with my Q7 ownership
Can't you just electronically delete the egr function so the valve stays closed? Same with the swirl flaps you can just turn them off and they default to the open position?
As of right now and I may be wrong. The only way to shut off the EGR is through a tune. I do have VCDS but even that I don't believe it has that feature to turn on/off only bc it is emissions related. If that was a feature I think VCDS or other scan tools will then have to commercialize their produce for " off road use only" to avoid any lawsuits from who ever is in charge of the emission in the government branch. That why alot of tunes one would get for any car a big majority adverse it for (off road use only)
Wow what a great video! Just afraid of doing all that work man. I have a high pitch noise on the EGR actuator valve. If I remove the little vacuum line from it, the noise goes away.. any harm driving it that way? What happens if I just disconnect that vacuum hose?
Yes, and because the EGR is exhaust gas recirculation. So what's happening is the exhaust is being sent back into the pipe. And exhaust is HOT air. If the lines are plugged, removed, etc. The actuators inside the EGR cooler won't be functioning. So the cooling won't be happening and you'll be sending hot exhaust straight back into the manifold. Then which will defeat the purpose of the clean air going through the intercoolers. You may be at risk of melting some stuff in the long run. The intake pipe and manifold are plastic. Another solution is if you get the car tuned with the EGR stuff all coded out. And I did this for about 30,000 miles til I finally removed the EGR cooler. With that coded out I didn't get any CEL. So it shuts off the EGR valve so that no exhaust is being recerculated. And that why in the video part when it was time to clean I didn't have a lot of carbon build up. Hope this is information is of help 😊
@@markb6s4Thanks! Vacuum line is still connected, just has a high pitch noise coming from that EGR actuator valve. Car drives fine, just not sure if its actually doing the job or what…
@@chelo9724 The cheapest route is to get it tuned with the deletes coded in. Once it's coded the EGR just becomes paper wait until it's removed. And I had it as paper weight for 30,000 miles
@@shhs6127 the EGR and the dpf are 2 different "features" (I think that's the correct description.) but there both part of the exhaust system So the EGR resuculates the exhaust feums back into with the clean air coming from the air filter.

If I am understanding your comment, you are referring to the EGR pipe that comes from the hot side of the turbo to the EGR cooler. So with that pipe it doesn't matter which side you remove first
