Maybe "burnt hair" isn't right... but to me - kinda smell like the first generation of catalytic convertor exhaust- when your stuck behind one of those cars in slow traffic... very bad

Re: EGR emulator- do u actually open up and connect wires? OR just crimp onto exixting wires in fuse box???

Saw a video of "Mercedes diesel guy" -- seemed to just crimp 3 bunches of wires in main fuse box

Does this emulator-- also take the EGR cooler out of play?
Here is clean procedure:

2005-6 (and later) e320 CDIs -- Ck. & clean EGR valve

Delete is easy to install, plug in one side to control harness going to EGR valve and crimp wires under hood that are listed (instructions provided with unit). I was little concerned that EGR was designed into engine to make it perform well but think the delete probably helps engine last longer and certainly cuts down on EGR related problems in future.
