the EGR works very well on these engines , It will cause engine to go into low power mode , why would you want to do this?

If everything is working correctly, the EGR doesn't clog up so if your car is well maintained, I wouldn't bother with blanking.

If anyone's EGR is badly restricted, they may as well fix the cause rather than cover the symptom.

..... and now you have a couple of answers.

You may even get some fans of blanking offering their opinion too.

blanking worked well on my mondeo 4 pot.

I cannot comment for the volvo.

If you do do it, use thick steel not a coke can or alu as it gets hot hot.

i didn't notice any difference to my D5 163, so i removed it again. Was done whilst trying to fix another issue.

Other vehicles like my vans and landy have all benefited greatly for it. Think the D5 is just a well designed lump with better control than the primitive diesel lumps on my other vehicles.
