I haven't had any such coolant temp variation problems with the coolant bypass and EGR cooler delete.
Ive seen mention of another UK car that had temp fluctuations after deleting the EGR. It was an LCI version running the pre-LCI EGR delete pipe that you can get off of ebay. Doesnt make sense when you consider that ours with the block off dont have any issues when thats essentially the same thing from a DDE standpoint.
