Removal of EGR question

(1/3) > >>

beast5680:
while having a look at a recently developed leak on SWMBO,s disco(turns out the lower steering box seal is leaking :evil: ) i started looking at the egr and how to remove it.
Looking at the pic below is the large boxy bit between the airbox and the turbo an airflow meter? should i just blank off the egr and refit it or remove the whole gubbins completelty?
if i remove it completly does removing the big bit with the wires in it have a detrimental effect? others i have seen didnt seem to have that bit on them making removal simpler :?

gords:
The EGR valve is the bit attached to the manifold - I just removed the valve and attached pipe and blanked the holes left at each end. I also blocked the tube that connected to the EGR valve. All the wiring was left in place.

Have you read my post about it?

BTW, mine doesn't have that "large boxy thing" :wink:

Range Rover Blues:
I'd suggest fitting a blanking plate in place of the gasket in the flange you can clearly see in the photo' then leave all the c**p in place so the engine thinks the EGR is still fitted, there are no holes to block up and all the bits keep working and don't seize, then it's a 5 minute job if it fails the MOT :)

thumbs:
you can get the blanking plates and turbo hose with out the t piece from a landrover dealer or a authorised dealer (i.e rogers of bedford) cheaper

ask for 300tdi 90 stuff, makes the searching alot quicker

just got the bits to to mine saturday

NeilWilson:
It is an airflow sensor, the workshop manual says.. "consists of a flap valve sensor which measures the fresh air flow into the engine. The sensor informs the ECM and provided the other conditions are met, will implement EGR."  Cheers.
