Hello!

I am wondering if 1999. Freelander model with 2.0DI (direct injection) engine have EGR and Turbo?
If yes, then where is it located?

I’m new here, thanks!
 
The DI has both. Both are at the back of the engine. The turbo is to the LH side of the engine, and the EGR is in the centre. The turbo is pretty obvious, the EGR less so.
 
Yes it will have both, not entirely sure where though.
Turbo is usually near top of engine close to exhaust, looks a bit circular with a cable attached and a heat shield.
EGR, well could be anywhere but probably attached to the air intake.
Hopefully someone who has actually seen this engine will provide better info'.
If it helps the EGR will have a two wire connector going into it, I think Grey/Red and Brown/Pink, but don't quote me !

Now this isn't helpful, but if you ever want to sell the L Series let me know 😂 I swear I cannot find a single one of these things in the UK...!

Still rockin’!
 
You'll need to take the acoustic cover off the top of the engine (3 bolts) to see anything.

The turbo is the turbo looking thing down the back of the engine - follow the exhaust ;)

The EGR can be found by following the big induction hose from the intercooler to the top of the engine. It joins a metal pipe that's formed into the plenum chamber that sits atop the engine and continues down the back as the inlet manifold. Built into the plenum on the left, next to the oil filler cap is a bit/pipe that also goes towards the back of the engine. The EGR is joined to this - if it has not been removed. Lots of diesels have had their EGR removed.

If you dismantle these bits - they will be caked in soot coming up from the turbo/exhaust into the EGR, through the plenum and inlet manifold. Its a good idea to strip them all and clean them out. The airflow really does get restricted over time.

I know of one and the owner is thinking (possibly) of selling it. PM me I guess.
