Removing the EGR valve will certainly remove a component that requires regular maintenance, but it will make your car less efficient, as well as committing a detrimental offence both to the environment and to other drivers and road users.
Can I disconnect my EGR valve?
Yes but not advisable. The egr can go bad two ways, stuck open or stuck closed. The egr recirculates part of the exhaust back into the engine intake system to burned any unburnt fuel the first time aroundto and lower the exhaust emmisions.
