This must be the same as "pink wire mod" you can do for $0.5
Not needed on a Di. Only CRD throws a fault code when you block the EGR.Blocking the EGR creates turbo peaks and lows? I've got a 2006 with a ZD30 Di and 160000 km on it. Recently the EGR was blocked with a plate. Should I consider unblocking it and doing this "pink mod." I don't have a boost gauge and EGT monitor set up yet, but am working on that.
Thanks to all for their input,will let my friend decide which option he wants.Not needed on a Di. Only CRD throws a fault code when you block the EGR.
Back to the OP’s question, you have three options:
a. Cheap and nasty with a 10c resistor
b. Build your own patch harness (which is what I did) with ~$20 worth of parts. Need a bit of experience with the wire strippers and crimpers though.
c. Play it safe and pay the $90 for the Patrolapart one.
End result for all three options will be the same so it’s up to your technical abilities and/or OCD levels.

Leave it blocked. The pink mod is a clever "soft block" from @Malicious but only on CRDs not on Dis.Blocking the EGR creates turbo peaks and lows? I've got a 2006 with a ZD30 Di and 160000 km on it.
