Hi Lads

Looking to Blank the EGR valves on my TDV6 in the next week or say, Going by various pictures on the forum showing the crud build up, Is it advisable to try and clean this crud away from the main intake and the EGR feedback stubs when removing the Butterfly.

Or is there more chance of chasing this crud further into the intake whilst trying to clean it and causing more harm than good.

Another wee query, when starting from cold I seem to get a very tinny / tinkly rattle ,then if I give it a couple of gentle revs it seems to clear. Any ideas what could be causing this, have searched round but can't seem to pin point the culprit.

Cheers Jock

Yes, if you gently work the butterfly housing up you can pop it out and clean out the gunk. A toothbrush, diesel and brake cleaner works well. Be sure to give the MAP sensor a clean too (ensuring not to poke anything in the hole).

The rattle sounds a little bit like one I had, which unfortunately proved to be a knackered turbo, but it was more woodpecker like than tinkly. Fingers crossed yours is something else though.

Hi Jock,if you are looking to get any work done use the chap Disco Mickey on here, he is MMP Land Rover and the guy really knows his stuff and wont rip you off. I have been using him and can only thoroughly recommend him. 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

Hi Lads thanks for the replies , as you say hopefully its not a Turbo

Will take my time and try to give as good and careful a clean as I can. Mikey has been a fountain of Knowledge and help to me since I bought my Sport away back and have to say everyone else on the forum too.

Have ordered my Blanks from Mikey so hopefully tackling this job in the next week or say.Will have another search around for the Tinkling noise and try to pinpoint.

Any other ideas of what it could be or check would also be much appreciated.

Thanks again Jock

WRT your "tinkling" noise. You don't say where about on the car this is coming from. However, I had a slight problem with a similar sort of noise coming from the passenger side under-floor area of my car. Mentioned it when it went for its first service, and dealer managed to fix it. I was told it was a bolt that holds one of the exhaust heat shields beneath the car had come loose. The heat shield rattled when the car was cold, but when hot and there was slight expansion of the metal the tinkling noise stopped. Seems like a plausible explanation to me, and could be the same for you.

All the best with your investigations.

Thanks Jock

I reckon the noise is from the engine bay somewhere although I reckoned it is coming from the front of the engine area ,wondered if the cooling fan could be the culprit.

Well worth a look at the heatshield though as I agree its plausible, willing to look at anything to try and remedy. Its more annoying than I feel sounding like something major ( I hope )

Thanks again for the help Jock
