Hi my folks work horse is a 2.8 shogun now over 180,000 miles do they have an EGR valve or equivalent that could do with a clean? or anything else?
shes well serviced, but in this cold spell (minus figures here) sometimes doesn't want to start straight away and i feel has lost a bit of power.
thanks in advance for any ideas!

Hi Duncan

In general, most don't, I believe... but, just to complicate matters, some do!  :roll:

I'd guess that cold starting problems are more likely to be glow plugs... or, possibly, the bus-bar that links them might need a good clean (easy and cheap option to start with).

Hope that helps... but I suspect it doesn't!  :lol:

Most 2.8's do have an EGR valve (my 1999 MK3 did) and the best thing is to blank it off completely as they are a pain to clean.

I thought it was only the import pajeros that had the egr valve, hope someone sets me straight though and shows me a diagram of where mine is lol :grin:

No mate, mine was a UK spec 2.8 Shogun and I balnked the EGR off, made hell of a difference.
