EGR blanking

winchman · Dec 17, 2014

Now I have read loads about this but here is my issue.
The local Land Rover man tells me to just split the pipe between the valve and metal pipe and blank it leaving the valve etc in position?
No most I see are blanked on the manifold and the valve thrown away?

I did exactly what your LR man said and ran like that for a couple of years. I only stripped mine out completely when I had the manifold off for a different reason.

The only real difference in that it looks neater when removed, especially as mine is a Jap import so had a water cooled EGR valve.

I just stripped all mine out.
Buy the kit, and throw the EGR away.

Why would you throw it away??

Probably best not to throw it away....the tree huggers are whinging about high levels of Nitric oxides again.

Because it would rattle about in the glove compartment?

As said, kit cheap enough. You could retain for nostalgia, but every diesel I have ever had eventually gave problems with the egr so by passed and through away every time.

That's what I meant

I put blanking plates cut to the same shape as the joints to blank it all off, but leaving it looking standard, ie left every thing in place. I thought it might save any problems at future tests and inspections.

This is what I am thinking?
How does it work?
Would the engine know its missing?
From memory isn't it just controlled by a micro switch on the pump with no feed back?
