I have had a problem with my 4.4 TDV8 62K .
16 months ago, I bought it with 50K miles genuine from a LR dealer.
To be fair, they wanted top dollar, but I had them do close to £5K worth of work, bef ... |

Technically you could replace the EGR’s. But, it’s a pig of a job, and they are not cheap.
It’s what the EGR does to the rest of the system.
There are quite a few videos on it on U Tube, whi ... |

If the EGR is blanked off it is effectively closed…. Permanently.
Therefore maximum heat will be directed towards the DPF.
It is the EGR that regulates the temperature, by opening and closing &am ... |

IF the EGR is seen to be blanked or interfered with, the vehicle will fail the MOT.
3.6 TDV8 does not have a DPF
You don’t have to map out an EGR delete on a 3.6TDV8
You DO have to map out an EG ... |

Question?
Are the “Doom and Gloom “ merchants going to pay for your vehicle to be repaired when it’s finally been choked to death by the EGR?
Diesel engines have worked fine for years without ... |

Ive read all sorts of smoke n mirrors about this issue. Most of it put about by people who basically don’t understand basic physics and mechanics.

So.
I had a full stage 1 remap.
Including the removal of speed limiters.
The EU engine Choke valve was blanked off, and mapped out. MAP sensor cleaned.
Then vehicle was road tested.
Total cost ... |

So I’ve read lots of stuff on here, and there appears to be a load of smoke and mirrors, regarding EGR delete, and DPF.
The 4.4 TDV8 is a bloody good engine.
Yes it needs to be looked after….

I would definitely recommend you blank off the EGR’s with a decent kit.
You do not need to have them mapped out on the 3.6.
Providing you change the oil regularly the EGR’s will continue to oper ... |
