Hi! Thanks for the response to my question. On this subject: If the crank-case ventilation passes through one of the EGR's, blanking them off means that the crank steam is no longer being returned to the intake. Am I correct in assuming that this will result in a very slow, but steady evaporation and disappearance of the engine oil? Up until now, my car consumes no oil whatsoever, but if the crank-ventilation is now forced down the exhaust, I expect that to change. Also, if the EGR is actually fully closed and the exit port blanked off, are we shutting off the crank-case ventilation altogether? That can't be good.... I hope I'm wrong. Cheers! Henrik |

Thanks for that ur20, is that something that I should be concerned about? The engine light came on about 2 weeks ago whilst driving home from Bristol up the M5 , no loss of power or messages. Checked the fault code and said something about left Bank egr current low. Looking around the engine I did find a very thin vacuum hose that was hanging loose, it runs across the top of the engine along with 3 others of the same size. Anyway after about an hour of searching I think I found where it should connect to, so connected it and not had any faults since. Would this be a contributing factor you think in the oil build up on left egr? |

Here’s a photo of the EGR pipes removed a few months ago from my FF @ around 128k miles.

Yours are similar to mine with the soot, I was just worried about the oil on the left one. Thanks for the link to buy the blanking kit, can't believe how much better the car drives with them blanked off. Looking forward to the remap tomorrow to see how much more better it drives. I'm like a big kid when it comes to my FF lol. |

Thanks for that, nothing to worry about then. Well I blanked the egr's yesterday and it the car ran fantastic, so much smoother through the gears, no hesitation, power delivery more instant. And this morning I had a quantum remap done and my God what a hell of a difference. It's like driving a new car. The acceleration is unbelievable. So much more smoother.

I blanked mine, and since then about half the time when starting from cold I get blue smoke. After moving off back to normal. I am not sure if mine has a map already for the engine, but not the EGR's and I sometimes get a restricted performance message although it goes fine. 2009 TDV8 3.6 |

Lostinespace - I started getting the restricted performance message a couple of months ago and traced it to the left egr. I decided to bite the bullet and replace them both. It was a bit fiddly at times but not too bad.
