But then again here in Aus people love to go and block off the EGR with no regard at all.



I come across many old and even new diesel 4X4's that stink and blow smoke. that i shut off the fresh air, even sitting at the red lights, they stink !



Not all Diesel's stink, some smell fine, more like Kero smell burning clean as !
DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) delete is the most common thing they do. That's when you see them pumping out the black smoke out the back. I usually report them to the EPA
