Advise needed = EGR removal and De-Cat pipe 300TDi

<< < (3/3)

Range Rover Blues:
I'm interested that you all say the impoved response was most noticeable when cold.

EGR shouldn't do anything when cold, it should only come into play on a hot engine.

Maybe that's the problem, if it was faulty.  I noticed no improvement whatsoever in removing the EGR, but then the pump had been tweaked be a previous owner.  I put on a bigger intercooler with silicone hoses and again no improvement, though I was hoping more that it would make less smoke as it's always been quick.  I thin perhaps it's less smokey other than if it's idling at traffic lights immeadiatley before I boot it.

Still have the decat pipe to do, put a sport pipe on though and it made no difference.

The Electrician:
As i understand it, it is the diesel pump being turned up that makes it smoke, personally i think if you turn the pump down a quarter turn you'll find that it doesn't smoke and the performance will still be there as you have done the egr etc.

Also it does make a difference if you have either a hard worked engine or high miles, mine only has 120k and has been looked after, hence no smoke.

Range Rover Blues:
Well it's excessive fuel, so yes the fuel pump turned up without a matching increase in fresh air, hence the bigger intercooler.  The engine has done 130,000 but it's a bit "loose" and blows just a little, not bad but a little.

Anyway, having seen how much my Miocra 1.4DCi smokes the last few days, perhaps I'm being too critical.
