So. I limped my D3 to the garage next to where I work as the chaps said dump it there and they would have a look at the egr as I dint have time to do it for a few days. 10 minutes later blast on the horn and he’s outside in the car. 👍🥇 Long and the short of it is that he unplugged the valve...

Please not in Chitterne. We are sooooo respectable. Not. 😂

Evening all. I might have done this a long time ago but then I might not but as I’m active in a disco way I’ll say high again from Salisbury plain! Was there anyone out on the plain on Sunday night? Maybe Saturday. 🙄 I saw two discos parked up in Chitterne having a chat.

👍 this is what’s confusing as they were/are mapped out. @gstuart thanks for your help so far fella. i did as you said on badspanners thread and cleaned the map and maf sensors. I’m not sure about my map as on other images of clean sensors the indentation is much more pronounced than on mine now...

😮 no way. Just checked. Who would have believed that! Thank you. 😂

As for the maf sensor does that need a special cleaner please?

Grubbier than a grubby thing in a grubby place? If I don’t have contact cleaner then brake and clutch cleaner ok? My mate in the village has some of that. Or just wet kitchen towel. ? I have remembered that there should be no ‘penetration’ however much I want to.

I’m going in! 1st stop the maf. Actually the 1st job before the maf is critical. Place trusty paint roller extension in place so bonnet doesn’t smack head!

🙏 2008

Gary Thanks for that. Will look under bonnet later at map and maf 👍🙏 I’ll need to do a bit of research as the only time I’ve got my hands dirty before is oil changed and changing a prop shaft on a d2. I can’t remember what they were called but there was some fiddly pieces that had loads of pins...

Hey there I posted some info on this issue on someone else’s thread but thought it better to start a new one. 2008 disco 3 that had the egr’s blanked last year. Has gone into perm limp mode with an EGR fault code. Garage wont tell me who mapped the car at the same time as I wanted to confirm...

Today I disconnected the battery and will leave it disconnected overnight in the hope it will clear my D3 engine fault limp mode issue by magic!

:cool: will do. Cheers fella. I’ll send an update when I hear something. My mate with a scanner did try and reset the codes and we also disconnected battery terminals and shorted to do a reset but no luck.

Hi smithy thank you replying I don’t know I’m sorry. I have a local Indy disco guy who blanked them off and then took it somewhere for a mapping. Is there anyway I can find out myself or just go back to map guy somehow? I’ve just been reading some of @gstuart ’s helpful posts about some of...

@Badspanners any luck with limp mode yet? My D3 has been in limp mode and I can’t get it to clear. The only useful thing the scanner is coming up with is an egr code P0403 the odd thing is that I had the egr’s blanked last year and then a remap and it was working fine. But then it went into...

Cheers Andy, but if it's only lost 1/4 or maybe half a litre?

..and similar to mine.....can someone please explain why the internal heaters dont belch out heat when the rest of the system is overheating? :o cheers

Sierra. The symptoms are correct but I don't really think it cools down as such. By turning the ignition off and back on appears to give me back the power that is lost as I hit the red zone. Before I had all the new bits (rad,top hose, thermostat, inter cooler) when it overheated it would boil...

I have intermittent hot air in the cab. Although the heat controls are full on it gets hot and then cold. Hydrocarbons. . Is that the same as a block test? Block test was fine Cheers
