Hi Folks,

Whilst at lunch, I was thinking about the things I would possibly want to do/change on my RRS, one of them was to remove the EGR valves and coolers.

I've searched on here and generally online, specifically for this on the 3.6 but, was unable to find the complete job. I've read about blanking the egr's and also how to remove and replace the egr's and coolers but not their entire removal.

I have done this on a few of my vehicles over the years including my Discovery 2 TD5 that my RRS has replaced.

Please note that I currently have no pending issues with my egr's and that I would also need the software to remove them from BAS, if I did remove/blank them.

I'm just wondering if anyone has removed the coolers and if so, how did they replumb the water pipes.

Many thanks

I contacted Pete Bell regarding this, as I had already asked about their egr delete map.

Unfortunately I also did not receive a reply regarding my question.

I'm assuming there must be a few people that have uploaded the delete map to their rrs's. I am just wondering that when done, can the egr valves be totally removed from the engine and that they do not have to stay connected, electrically.

Many thanks

TDV8s are much less common than the 2.7 and so there are fewer people to ask. Add in that the EGRs on the 3.6 seem to be less problematic than the 2.7 EGR, and that means even fewer people looking to blank them.

ISTR that Alive Tuning can map the EGR out on the 3.6 so might be worth talking to them. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

In my recent conversations Alive was quite firm regarding the electronic EGR delete, as in: "we leave it alone for compliance". Regards etc.,

Thanks for your replies guys, I'll contact Alive 2010 RRS 3.6 TDV8 HSE Galway Green

Not on mine currently , and managed through (without management light on , a stroke of luck as it went through the MOT a few weeks ago, emissions were lower than expected. Just had a carbon clean perhaps that helped, before MOT , assuming they never worked before or may have been deleted as I bought with a remap and I kept getting fuel regulator out of tolerance . So reverted to a standard map from GAP TOOL and since then no fault with fuel regulator but now get EGR FAULT . This was the only reason for a carbon clean . Perhaps it was deleted.!

My TDV8 EGRs were changed at 140k miles but only because the intake manifold was being changed and the EGRs had to come off for that - seemed sensible to chuck new items back on at that stage. The old units were apparently "ok, considering their age".

Hmmm, must be my memory playing up - it was several years ago. Fairly sure they had to remove one of the EGRs to get to something else and we decided to change them both at that point. Don't have the paperwork for that RRS anymore so can't check what else was done at the time. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Hi folks,

I thought I'd give an update. I took my rrs to HWB automotive on Monday for a megaflush. Whilst there, I asked about egr blanking on the tdv8's, as the the guy runs a preface lift himself. I was told that Gary from Alive, who HWB also supply maps from, does not advise blanking of the egr's as this increase the exhaust gas temperature within the exhaust manifolds.

I can understand the logic that higher gas temperatures could cause manifolds to warp.

Just wonder what you all think.

Many thanks

I had an EGR problem in Dec 22. Hummed and harred for a bit then, just to avoid complications, had replacements fitted. So £850 later and they should be good for another 120k miles... Robin
