EGR bypass poll following on from the black smoke thread
jnoshea:
The most popular choice seems to be to put the blanking plate (ERR4698) between the EGR and the manifold and leave everything else in place (otherwise you either need to blank the top intercooler hose or get a straight through one). I'm going to pop down to LR later to see if they have the part (Paddock's didn't have one). Do I need to buy 2 new gaskets to go either side of the blanking plate if I'm replacing the EGR on top of it?

I would have thought that 1 on the manifold side would be sufficient. The TD5 doesn't have any gaskets there, so it's not a worry for us :wink:

I'm surprised that LR sell a blank to defeat the EGR valve, as they wouldn't fit it if it wasn't required by law. It's true that the test vehicle for homologation has to pass the standard but then production cars are allowed to deviate by a small margin, but strictly speaking you shouldn't be doing it.
That said, the oils black mess does nothing for your engine so I'd bin it too.

My 300Tdi went for an intercooler implant complete with it's EGR.
When she returned from theartre, the EGR and Catalytic Converter had been Amputated. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
