For the last few days I had to revert to standard and remove the 12mm blank I had fitted! Disgustingly I only returned 26.5 mpg, that's the lowest I've got since I first tried fitting them! Service now done the 10mm is now fitted and we'll see how I get on! Map goes back on next Tuesday too! Yippee! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

![]() Ive got the BAS tune (best mod so far) set to "POWERRRRR" (as MR. Clarkson would say) and currently the 12mm plate fitted, ive noticed a smoother feel to the engine and even a slight increase in pull through the gears but sadly no mpg figures like others have reported. to be honest though 21mpg may well be an increase for me, i have a bit of a heavy right foot and ive never really checked the economy until now ![]() Anyway 21mpg is way better than i got out of the merc so i still feel like a fully fledged member of greenpeace ![]() |

At the weekend we went to West Sussex/Hampshire to visit some friends so I filled it to the brim before leaving and off we went. I kept the speed to under 65 mph but the 50 mph road works for 14 miles on the M1 and 11 miles on the M25 helped (I really was driving like a granny) . So slow and gentle it was then, did a bit of a detour on the way down and clocked up 160miles. Filled up when we got there and the mpg was 26.6, I was a little disappointed with this as I really was taking it easy. The run back on Sunday was 140 miles and we achieved 30.1 mpg which is a record. So that is an average of 28.3 which is pretty good considering that I am running 285’s with roof rack. The 285’s mean I am reading less miles that I would with the 235’s (though the speedo with these is reading spot on with the gps). The best I have ever got was about 27/8 but I was running on Millers (which I am not at the moment) so I can now see an improvement with long motorway work. I am hoping now I can build on this by stepping down a size and going back on Millers.
I should point out that on the way down I had the standard tune in and the way back the BAS in. So that would suggest that had I used the BAS tune for the entire mileage the average would have been higher. Boy |

Reading through most but not all of this thread
![]() Would blanking it completely and somehow fooling the sensor not be the ultimate goal of keeping out the soot. Would a 12mm hole reduce the carbon build up completely? When I had my manifold apart I noticed the pipe from the EGR to the manifold is only about20mm diameter. |

It would appear that to date the only way anyone has found to fool the sensor is to leave a hole in the plate ![]() The alternative is to have the light on all the time. MAD COW 2007 90 Hard Top - 2009 BMW F800GS - 2002 CCM 604E Dual Sport Project90 |

If you use the blanking plate to blank off the EGR does this not just mean that all of that recirculated gas gets forced through a smaller hole? Would this not cause the small hole in the blanking plate to clog up quicker than all that stuff going through more and bigger holes? Just being thinking about this and I just cannot understand that.

I would also like to add if the exhaust manifold and catalizer are able to hold such more gas mass and temperature. Also need enlightening.
