I know this one has been done to death, but I've been searching the forum and there's something I'm not sure about.

I checked out the motor today to make sure I knew where everything was before removing the EGR kit. But instead of an "EGR Pipe" as shown in the workshop manual, there is a largeish metal can between the exhaust manifold and the EGR valve which is connected to the coolant bottle, can't see connections below. It looks like some kind of inter-cooler/warmer.

I can't find this item anywhere, and not sure what effect disconnecting it will have. The coolant connections make removing it a bit trickier as well.

Thanks for any advice.

The metal can with coolant pipes connected is the EGR cooler. Leave that where it is and take the stainless pipes of either side of it.

One stainless pipe goes to the exhaust manifold and the other to the EGR valve on the inlet manifold.
 
That's what I thought! Any idea why it's not mentioned in the manuals? As you say, just disconnect and leave in place.

Thanks for sorting that out!
 
these are the components of EGR type 2, from my manual :

1 ILT valve modulator
2 ILT modulator vacuum hose (brown)
3 EGR valve modulator
4 EGR modulator vacuum hose (brown)
5 Vent hose – EGR modulator to in-line filter
(green)
6 Vacuum hose to ILT valve suction port (blue)
7 Vacuum hose to EGR valve suction port (blue)
8 'T'-piece (4–way)
9 Vacuum hose to brake-servo
10 Non-return valve
11 Brake-servo
12 Inlet manifold
13 Exhaust manifold
14 ILT valve
15 EGR cooler - EU3 models
16 Vacuum pump / alternator assembly
17 Air intake hose from intercooler
18 EGR valve (incorporating ILT valve) assembly
19 Vacuum hose to vacuum pump
20 Vent hose – ILT valve modulator to in-line filter
(green)
21 3–way connector
22 Vent hose - to air cleaner
23 ILT modulator harness connector (green)
24 EGR modulator harness connector (black)
25 To atmosphere - Pre EU3 models
26 In-line filter - Pre EU3 models
27 EGR pipe - Pre EU3 models

That's exactly what's on mine. The manual I have however only talks about Type 1 and 2, with Type 2 having an ILT valve as well. On both versions, there is just a straight EGR pipe. No ocurrances of "EU3" in the whole book either.

That's annoying, as it makes me wonder when I'll next run up against a tiny difference...

Thanks for the pic anyway.
 
Thanks, I'll download this and burn it. Working off a RAVE that I bought off E-Bay for £1.50. It covers Defender, Disco 2, Freelander and the P38, but it does not have that EGR cooler on it!

Will let you know.
 
Hello,

I did my de-EGR on a EU3 yesterday.
Works like a charm.
Just had to fold the pipe from the exaust to the cooler to get the top screw out (otherwise you're not straight in front of it and there is the risk of scaffing)
Also put samco hoses in. Unfortunately no more time to take the intercooler out and give it a cleaning, as there was some oil in the hoses running from the EGR towards the intercooler.
Certainly hoses from turbo to intercooler were weak/soft. This would not be good as give expantion and will loose time building the presure up. don't know if this in normal?

Regards, Koen

Hi mate, the hoses are rubber and 8 yrs old, so what should we expect?

That's what I thought too.
But the side from intercooler to the inlet was not so soft/weak yet.
Maybe because the air is less hot that the rubber has less to cope with.
The samco hoses are better anyway. :D
