I have a 1995 GSI and the EML is on because the EGR valve has been removed. How can i turn the light off or do i need to fit an EGR valve? Also how important is the EGR valve? Will it affect my emissions and make it not pass MOT? I get what it does etc but im not clued up on just how much everything will be affected if i remove it. Cheers

you cant switch the light off. if its been removed, can you not just plug it back in but leave it off? my vectra runs like that and no light on dash.
to get the light to stop, you have to actually fix the fault. the car will not be running 100% while the light is on.

The only problem is there isnt an EGR or spare plug that ive seen as thats how the car came. Looks like im going to have to find an EGR valve and hunt for that plug

Ye that might explain the other help thread ive put up then about it being a bit hesitant when giving it a bit of throttle. Plus i want it to run properly and at full power not like a bag of nails.
