My 2003 TD6 has done 110k, recently been remapped and serviced but i realised in the 6 years of owning her, i've done nothing to the EGR valve. Would you advise removing it and cleaning it, or blanking it off completely?

Any advice guys?

tbh cant really help but hoping a guru or 2 will come along I'm not sure if mine has been deleted or not but has been re mapped by previous owner and wow it makes a difference for sure 1937 model y hot rod 1000bhp rover75 v8 vincert blackshadow plus several boats and other toyz ! ford f150 raptor Mercedes e class convertible jaguar f pace

Remove it. It's the work of Satan.

Took mine off the TD6 and never looked back. Throttle seemed to pick up earlier.... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

If you do take it off and I recommend you do, clean it up and put in a safe place for possible future re-fitting just in case it becomes an MOT inspection item.

I would have thought if you've had it remapped, it should have been blanked.
can't say for sure, as mine was already remapped and egr blanked when I bought it off previous owner.
Anyway, if it is still there, bin it.

blank it...  ... - .- -.

blank it... and remap it

i was always wondering why land rover gave the french and italian my2006 208hp...

I ditched mine last year and it's been good ever since

I can't see it becoming a MOT inspection item... as it's mechanical on the TD6.... it doesn't show in the ECU, and it's under the engine cover, so you can't really see it  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I don't have one, but if I did.....
Blank it.

Does the td6 have swirl flaps? I ditched them in my 3.0 beamer and that made a difference too. V8 or else ...

Thankfully that is one part of the engine that Land Rover got right, they declined the swirl flaps as they didn't want to as unreliable as a BMW...... and then they beat them on experience  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

but they gave us that crap gearbox.

The gearbox isn't that bad..... just don't tow in normal range between 30 and 50 for long times... if you have a tin tent and your sitting at 55+ then there are no worries And BMW did inflict the GM 5L40E gearbox on themselves too.... wonder if there were any brown envelopes involved..... cos on paper it's obviously the wrong choice to start with Is there some smug BMW executive sitting on his German towel by the pool, living the life, and it's all paid for with our pain.......

100% remove it, Not long after getting my TD6 I did the delete, went to the trouble of removing the inlet manifold and cleaning all the gunk out, Vortex breather, K&N type filter and tune chip all at the same time. Difference was chalk and cheese. 2007 TDV8 VSE

Resounding vote then guys, cheers (was expecting as least 1 'perfectionist' who said leave it as RR wanted)

Will hopefully get round to it this coming week, I'm assuming an easy job? Is there anything to clean while its apart, or just swap it straight over?

Nice and easy job just to fit the blanking piece. No need to clean anything unless you want to take off the inlet manifold and clean out all the gunk. That is a disgusting task but again easy, just more time consuming 2007 TDV8 VSE
