[Vwdiesel] EGR valve started stock when?

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

Actually, I believe that some of the late Eco diesels had EGR but for  
certain the 1.9 AAZ had then in the 90's (engines we did not get in  
this country).  Much cruder than the ones on the engines today but  
the same basic concept.  Recycle some exhaust back into the  
combustion chambers to be reburned and to lower the nitrogen content  
of the combustion gases.  Lower NOx, less air pollution specifically  
ozone.  The AAZ that is sitting in my garage awaiting its  
installation into my Westy has EGR and it is from a 93.  Hayden

"Dictatorships all have common factors:  a government controlled by  
one party, a leader who claims to have special powers outside the law  
to keep the country "safe", secret prisons where people are locked up  
without charges or trial and government opponents are branded as  
unpatriotic and charged with aiding the enemy."
