W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - E300TSC - 10-18-2010

For those who haven't seen this already, I thought I'd post the final generation of the mod that's installed on my car currently:

Here's the schematic:

Outstanding!
Excellent pics showing a job well done.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Olivier - 10-19-2010

This is a great post.
What is the difference between this and the old one? I still have the old one installed and its working fine.
Is there not a mistake on the drawing as it state Diode to Green and resistor to yellow but it seems the other way around on the picture? Again I know nutting about electronics.
Olivier


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - E300TSC - 10-19-2010

Nice catch, Olivier. It is true that the components are reversed from the drawing but in the case of the resistor, it doesn't matter the order. What's important is that the stripe on the diode points to the green/gray wire.

As far as a difference between this and the previous designs, I re-connected the EGR transducer and eliminated one of the resistors. The effect is exactly the same, I just simplified the circuit.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Olivier - 10-20-2010

Thank you E300TSC. Make it clearer for me. Smile
I might try this one as soon as I got my IP in order, still a wee poorly...
All the best.
Olivier

Would this work on a OM642?

Thanks,

RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - E300TSC - 10-29-2010

Hi Raf. Some version of this might work but the ECU pins and wire colors are probably very specific to this particular engine.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - lecitine - 08-09-2011

is it work with OM605.960 as well? and what i should expect after do this? more mpg, more power?

thanks


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - E300TSC - 08-09-2011

Hi, I don't think it will work for the 605/606.960. Only 605/606.962 turbo.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - lecitine - 08-09-2011

i have got w202 (1998year) om605.960 with turbo 110kw/150hp oryginal, should works?


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - E300TSC - 08-10-2011

OK, I'm sorry, I thought the .960 was non-turbo. Yes, I believe it should work.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - kotka - 09-17-2011

Good thread for me - I have P1404 error. It is definitely not a transducer issue - I changed it - no difference.

I connected 5v power pin of the maf plug with com pin of the plug-error changed to p1401 - maf sensor.
Ah-forget to mention that my g-wagon (606.964) goes into limp mode after few minutes. So I try to make ecu live without maf and erg Smile)) I physically blocked erg pipe already as local ecological standards allow even more severe emission wise cars to drive

Any recommendations? My maf plug is 3 pin one-power, "-" and com pins


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Olivier - 10-22-2011

Look what I did today Smile
Now, do I need to disconnect the transducer and block the pipe as well or I leave those 2 alone?
Cheers Smile

The 606.964 (the version of the 606 in the G-class) doesn't have a MAF. It has an EGR lift sensor. The circuit shown in this thread won't work for that motor. I designed a circuit that removes the lift sensor (and the vacuum modulator) from the ECU, but is isn't very simple. Reply to this thread it you are interested in it.



RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Hario' - 12-10-2011

Hi, please can anybody just clarify before I do this.

Does the OM606.962 come fitted to the W210 E300? (which I have) EDIT: Im guessing so as your username is E300TSC lol..

And does this allow the removal of the EGR actuaton hardware, as opposed to leaving the electronics in situ and just blocking the EGR flow?

Thanks in advance, Harry.

Yes, the OM606.962 is the version in the E-class. It is the only version with the MAF in the air filter. Implementing the fix shown above should allow you to completely the EGR h/w. I'd start with pulling the electrical plug on the vacuum modulator for the EGR. It is possible that the engine computer is checking for some minimum current flow through that path.

I need to implement the fix too, my wife's E300 turbo is pretty crudded up with EGR goo.

you are right - it is a egr sensor embedded into the erg lift valve, not maf.

I would appreciate you share your ideas how to bypass egr and its parts in the ecu

I physycally shut off egr, but sometimes system goes to limp mode, i think the problem is in valve and its position sensor....please help me with a scheme for elecric shut off this system....Best regards)))

You can pm me on g-class.ru on the subject


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - INC - 01-11-2012

I can switch off EGR and MAF sensor (if present) in ECU software. Then you can remove EGR valve.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - macker64 - 09-14-2012

Afternoon Everyone,
In relation to this EGR mod., I presume you leave the vacuum and electrical connections connected??

Is there any danger of damaging the ECU by fitting this resistor/diode mod. across an input and an output of the engine ECU?

Regards, Wink


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Pinchers - 07-07-2013

Im just getting around to doing the EGR mod, is there any way to test this is actually working?


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Duncansport - 07-07-2013

Did this on a customers car ( dear god i know a CUSTOMER!! ) The mod has worked flawlessly for over a year.

The motive for the mod was as follows. The car had a slight part throttle hesitation that was very hard to track down. Finally i disconnected the EGR valve and the issue was gone. The spring rate of the EGR valve had degraded after 300,000 + miles and allowed the valve to open to far under the same vacuum conditions allowing to much exhaust flow for the same given vacuum signal.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Hario' - 09-19-2013

Hello I think I have confused myself,
I have a 1998 E300TD, 606.962, I blocked the vacuum actuator pipe to the egr and I'm happy to leave the egr solenoid in place as its small and does nothing.

So if the maf is the only thing controlling the egr is rather delete that because of the compressor inlet flow restriction of course, over on peach parts there is a tutorial involving a 22k resistor between yellow and blue wires to the maf connector but I tried that and it stopped my turbo spooling (held wastegate open I presume).

But the mod detailed in this thread is only for egr solenoid removal correct?


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - oldbeaver - 09-24-2013

Very good pictures, good circuit diagram.

However, I miss a verbal explanation of the mod, its rationale, the benefits, etc.

This appears as post number 1. So I asume it is.

Is there a verbal explanation already posted? If so please give me the link. This is a very nice mod and many would like to learn here.

OldBeaver


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Hario' - 10-11-2013

Ah,

This modification sends a signal from the egr (when the ecu actuates it) to the maf sensor so the output from the maf to the ecu is modified so the ecu thinks it's egr activation has given a corresponding reduction in flow through the map sensor (as the exhaust gas takes up air space) to verify the egr has operated.

Therefore map sensor can be unplugged.

**just in case anyone (like me) was unsure**

Aha!

Awesome, implementing this tomorrow..

In don't think you can unplug the MAF. That will throw a code for other reasons. What you can do is stop the EGR from operating, either by blocking the port, or putting a BB into the vacuum line, or both.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Hario' - 10-14-2013

Interestingly I blocked the egr vac hose months ago and have had no codes, at least no change in engine performance, I havent got STAR to plug in.
I think this is what Mantahead did to delete his MAF Sensor no?

RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - AlanMcR - 10-14-2013

I don't think so. Go ahead and try it, but make sure your fix is reversible.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - canyondrift - 09-25-2014

I have the same engine in my W210 (OM606.962) and I would like to get rid of my EGR valve too, just because I think that its not good for the engine.

Who has done it - could please answer some questions, like:
Is the wiring diagram in this topic the correct one (1st post)?
Have you disconnected the vacuum hose from the solenoid to EGR or have you completely disconnected the solenoid valve?

Greetings from Estonia


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Hario' - 09-25-2014

DIsconect the vacuum hose first, if nothing happens (limp home mode etc).

Then just leave it like that, no need to do anything else.

It seems to me that only the american market cars go into fault if you disable EGR via vacuum hose disconnection.

All OM606 turbos had monitored EGR systems. The USA system looked for a change in intake flow. The Euro system monitored physical EGR valve lift. If you just remove the hose it will soon drop into limp more.

First figure out which EGR monitoring system you have. There are different fixes for them.

What do you mean by two monitoring systems?
I can only remember that the EGR circuit in my car only has the EGR solenoid valve which electrically opens the vacuum when the ECU tells it.
There is no monitoring device or a sensor inside inlet manifold and even in the EGR valve housing.
It should be an European car, produced in 1997 and transported to estonia from germany.

Is there a wire going directly to the EGR? That is the lift sensor. If not, is there a wire going to a sensor at the air filter box? That is the MAF sensor.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Hario' - 09-26-2014

My euro model E300TD has no physical EGR lift sensor, as per all euro models, it has a MAF sensor to monitor airflow change due to EGR operation.

However as mentioned I removed the vacuum hose and it didn't go into limp after several months of hard driving, I then installed the above MAF wiring mod just in case it went into limp when I was far from home.

What I'm saying is mine worked fine for some reason, 1998 UK model.

RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Hario' - 09-30-2014

Completely factory, though I didn't have STAR so I couldn't check if a code had been raised, there was certainly no loos of performance / limp etc. Who knows.. Thats why I'm saying try it, ign/ off/on resets limp so no harm done.

Interesting. My experience is the opposite. I've got both a USA 1998 E300 Turbo and a Euro 1996 G300 Turbo. Both will go into limp if any part of the EGR system fails to respond. On the G300 I've built a circuit that electrically simulates the function of the EGR lift sensor. But it is more complex than what is claimed to work on the USA / MAF based system.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - starynovy - 10-02-2014

As you have been down there, and you own these engines for some time, maybe someone can help me. Question being, is vacuum operated wastegate on OM605 closed at idle? Mine is open (minimum duty cycle at proportional valve), I am new to mercedes, so either they really tought it throught and turbo sits chilling until its needed, or its broken. Big Grin It was driving like 50kW, cleaning out MAP sensor line helped, but to have my mind right I would need to know if that WG is normal or it is in limp mode. thx in advance gents.

No idea of how the OM605 works, but the OM606 has the wastegate pulled closed at idle. When in limp mode, it lets go of the wastegate at all times (including idle).


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - starynovy - 10-04-2014

Well according to that, its is in limp mode for sure. Thanks for reply.. now to harder part of fixing it. That engine is literally stupid when it comes to management, it only have MAP-which is good so I dont know what to look for anymore. Man that standalone ECU can´t wait any longer. Big Grin

RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Tito - 12-19-2014

EGR good for performance? who told you that? It's to reduce Nox at cruising speed. Redirecting hot non oxygen gasses to the intake is never a good idea Big Grin It has nothing to do with performance. At full load the EGR is switched off.


RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - Joystick - 03-11-2015

Taking up and old thread - will it be needed to block the vacum to the egr, and also the exhaust when doing this mod? And will blocking vacuum and exhaust do the same thing?

RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - AlanMcR - 03-12-2015

How does that article contradict anything that was said above? To summarize: EGR reduces NOx on all engines. However any fuel economy benefits are limited to throttled vehicles (gasoline). The benefits come from reducing the intake manifold vacuum that the engine has to work against by filling the intake manifold with inert combustion gasses.

RE: W210/OM606.962 EGR Delete - oho - 03-18-2024

I am dealing with a problem that is having poor braking power sometimes in my W210, so assumption would be the brake booster is not boosting, which is vacuum operated.

I have done the the 470Ω + 1N4004 diode mod and I have also deleted MAF by soldering 22kΩ resistor between blue and yellow MAF wires as shown in a Peachparts forum post. This forum doesn't seem to allow URLs in posts so I can't link the MAF delete instructions here.
I have also blocked the EGR control valve vacuum lines.

The question is is that do the vacuum lines need to be blocked or is it completely unnecessary to block them if the resistor + diode mod is in place?
I am trying to troubleshoot the brake booster issue I am having by connecting every vacuum line as they were originally, but would this cause the EGR to be back in operation? Or even worse, EGR locked to open position as I have the ECU fooling resistor/diode mods in place?
