egr behavior - vagcom vs chiptune

Quandary

New Member
I'm tired of paying to have my egr and intake manifold cleaned on my 2002 VW Jetta TDI. I have read that you can eliminate the need to clean by manipulating egr behavior through either a vagcom configuration or a chip tune. Since i have the upsolute chip, is one method preferred over another?

With the chiptuning, the egr can be disabled completely, we can also offer this service.

You can also disabled the egr mechanically. You just need to unplug the vac hose from the egr and close the hose (pulling a screw in fe.).

The VAGcom solution will set it to the minimum usage, but (afaik) is not possible to complete disable it.
