the L-series has a very very rudimentary EGR system - that is only active on constant throttle when on the move...

if you are oe pf those annoying people that speed up/slow down on the motorway all the time - your EGR would never be active.

It makes Zero performance difference on our engines under WOT as a result.... tho every engine is different....

MY brother in law's EGR got stuck open - and the performance of the car (alfa JTD) became dangerously poor..... probably more down to electronic limiters than anything else but even so...
