Best option is to blank the EGR off and write it out of ecu they are a pain anyway! Plus better performance all round Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 SDV8 SVO Stying Pack

...and then fail your MoT, from around April onwards. Are we really still recommending something that depends on the MoT tester overlooking a major fail? Especially when the OP is trying to keep their car fully road legal? |

Depends if you get a jobsworth MOT tester and really can they be bothered checking the EGR to see if it’s blanked off as in theory they cannot mess about in the engine area! Unless they are a member of Greenpeace and want to join the fight to cut global warming then that’s a diffent story😂😂 GET RID OF GR waste of time and money them even beng there more trouble than good......

Yes, by recirculating exhaust gas it decreases NOx emissions and it's removal is now failure under the new test rules and both the EGR and the DPF are checked under the new rules.

If it's a td6 then the EGR is hidden behind a panel. The MOT tester isn't going to remove the panel to check i wouldn't have thought.

@Paul, as long as your emissions are within tolerances ,and i think the engine running better will help then you shouldn't have a problem as far as i can see...

Many people might take this view: "the EGR on my FFRR will fail and cost me lots of money at some point. Given that the MOT tester won't and can't examine the EGR itself, I might as well get the EGR valve(s) blanked off. As a result my car will run better and it'll save me money."
