Got myself a cheap 3.6 tdv8 last week and this is the first job I did to it based on this guide. Watched it through a few times then went and and did it first time with no problems at all...took about an hour and a half. To the casual observer I must have looked like a master mechanic lol. No error messages or fault codes. Seems to pick up so much smoother but then that might just be in my head, Thanks very much for posting this it was invaluable.

Three Range Rovers later and I never knew about that service position on the bonnet. Makes things a lot easy to get too and see, cheers for that 👍👍

Since it was a sunny day in South Wales for a change, I took the opportunity to do the egr delete on my 2007 L322 Tdv8 3.6 . All went till I sheared the final torx screw. Luckily this only took an hour to remove. Lesson learned don't overtighten using electric tools 😂. I got the kit from X8R, £££ but good quality.

Good to see the old Range Rover again. Might be worth mentioning that those with less steady hands than yourself should consider replacing the lower blanking plate first just to avoid dropping anything into the open port. Also just to clarify as I’ve seen it mentioned it’s not actually illegal to delete the EGR valve, the official term is “it is an offence under the Road vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Regulation 61a(3))1 to use a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the air pollutant emissions standards it was designed to meet. Removal of the EGR will almost invariably contravene these requirements.” There are fines that can be imposed for this, however, as you have already mentioned, the engine cover is not removed at the point of MOT nor would I expect it to be removed should you ever be stopped by the police for any reason. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻

I must say your very talented and appear not to be put off to much at tackling the big jobs on your cars. Hope your BMW is running well

The alloy plug as an o-ring seal (as you know) so you should have cleaned its seating area prior to fitting (well I would have)

Good to see you back 👍

Thanks for the video. I found it useful to fit my blanking kit. No EML so far.

I got my kit from x8r today, cheaper kits are available, to try and fix the rough idle and slow response on my L322 Tdv8 3.6 2007, Fingers crossed. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the cool video, I wanted to ask what are those grey connectors on top of the egr valve, thanks!

First video i have watch and understood, well done :-) Next were did you get delete kit from did the google/ebay search and they go from £12 to £200 ???? kit looks the same Thank You Peter Kane

Well done, made it look easy !

What difference did it make? Good or bad....thanks

One less thing that can fail, instant power from idle and no more sooty crap filling up your intake manifold :)

Hola buenas, me podría donde lo has pedido los tapones de la egr, por que solo me salen para comprar los de v6 y esque no se si son equivalentes o no. Gracias un saludo

Good video for EGR access instructions (and yes, replace the bottom plate first 😜). I have a TDV8 3.6 2010 L322 and have had my first code thrown on the EGR system (P045D) which is likely that the valve is not closing or shutting without resistance on bank 2. The vehicle will test all these things on start up (0 to 100 or close to on the valves) and if it's sticky will throw the code. The valves may sit at 5% at closed and say 75% when open at idle, but the start up process has shown a sticking valve. So, options are to simply close the valves (with diag tool) and remap to isolate them and get no more restricted performance, blank them off and also remap, or clean the valves and EGR system, which at my kms is probably too far gone, so replacement the other option. Decisions decisions!

Hi, Where can we find the kit ? Thanks

Lovely Jubbly, was looking forward to seeing the BMW, never mind, still very interesting video.

Love watching your videos!! Will you be adding an oil catch can on the Range Rover? I was wondering now that the EGR delete is done, will you do an Induction Cleaning?

hi, egr drowned out and in the brain of the machine need to reflash something?

Love to hear any update on this looking to do it on my L322

Have you had any issues with this so far?

I think I would have done the lower first... knowing my luck I’d have drop a bolt of washer down the lower outlet!

Hi. Just wondering if you've had any problems since blanking the egr's as I'm thinking of doing mine (2007 tdv8)as they keep causing eml light to come on, but worried it might cause problems as I do quite a lot of mileage. Was also gonna get it remapped at same time

Hi nice video. I have just brought a 2008 on of these. I have owned td5 for years and love it. I am wondering if the blanking kit worked as it’s something I am interested in doing to mine. Did it bring any lights on and did you notice and difference is n performance and economy. Thanks for a great video.

Hello mate. thanks for your video. It is very helpful. Is it necessary to modify any parameter in the control unit related to the egr after canceling it with that kit? ... or is it only necessary to put the kit on it ?. Mine is the sport model. But it has the same engine as yours.

Makes sense.

Did you not get any engine codes or require a "digital delete" with this kit? I've bought what looks like the same kit but the fitting instructions say i'll need to have a digital delete done as well.

Have you got a link for the blanking kit? I can only seem to find anything for the 2.7 sport, not the TDV8. Cheers

Will this kit solve egr code P140a ?

Thanks for doing these videos; I’m assuming you’ve sold on the l322 at this point, but the videos you’ve created are still helpful for those of us battling the never ending issues…. I have a question regarding the EGR delete: is there any reason to completely remove the tube? Why not just install the metal plate next to the EGR and leave everything else as is? Why install the top “plug”?

Hey mate, quick q .. when you do the blank, do you get the engine management sign on anymore? I’m wary that the egr sensor might flag it up

Super video, bien qu il n'y ai plus de passage de gaz, cela n empêche pas le colmatage de la vanne egr, il aurait fallu le faire plus en amont a l entrée de l échangeur c est mieux.... La manipulation est plus galère car il faut deposer la vanne egr et son échangeur

Hi, Where did you get the kit from, I live in France and it is nowhere to be found Merci

I Need the full kit where did you get it from as I brought the plates done them easy enough now it’s blowing from the top so I haven’t sealed it correctly. Need the bungs ASAP and don’t know where to get them??

What are the benefits ?

How's the leather seat repair holding up on the RR ? Cheers

Will this pass an MOT now with the new emissions equipment visual tampering rules? Or does it pass because the engine cover hides everything?

Hi nut when I blanked the egr on my freelander 2 it screwed up how the auto box changed gear I asked a land rover specialist if the egr vacuum is link to the gearbox and he said yes the only way I could get the car to run correctly was to have the egr's deleted from the ecu then I have no more issues not sure if this is the same for your tdv8 Thx matey phill

Will you do EGR software deactivation too?

Hi, what is a cheap software diagnostic tool to remove the EGR and DPF from the ECU

Better off without the music. Helpful video, thanks 👍

Can you show us how to install an oil catch can on the L322 Range Rover 3.6 twin turbo diesel. Thanks and keep up the great videos its much appriciated.

Love your videos man,, Were did you get the blanking kit?, checked on eBay only found kits for RR discovery 3 and sports TDV6 engines? Thanks in advance

Did your mpg go up after blanking the egr

Old footage mate or did you get another l322?

Now you've been driving it for a while after the EGR delete, any errors logged on dash or OBDll. Cheers.

Hi can I ask your opinion on the Range Rover? I’m thinking of buying a 2008 tdv8 with 88k on

Any advice on my l322 started to smoke a bit when acceleration or when going past 65 to 70 goes in to limp mode and the speed goes down to 50. Please advise me.

has anyone asked/mentioned an emissions stest at MOT?

No lights etc after a good run up to operating temp? Be interesting to see what changes you notice after doing this..

hello I am looking for plates for range rover sport L320 v8

Is this the same process for the tdv8 sport?

I did this to my Auris 2.0 D4D the other day cleaned everything and blanked the EGR no lights on the dash noticeably better fuel economy and engine runs smoother and pulls better from low revs 👌🏻 No DPF fitted to my vehicle from factory so no worries on that side

I thought you at least need the EGR for regeneration. Aren’t you worried you might clog up your DPF?

The Nut Job . I have a 2011 4.4 TDV8 with 146 000 km on the clock, the car sometimes struggles to start , and also sometimes idles inconsistently . Any ideas on what the cause could be ? . There are no fault codes or any engine light that appear. And I service every 10 000 km.

Now enjoy clean oil and knowing your egr can’t fail and take out the turbos and engine!

Hi we the car still pass the mot? With this done.

how is it running these days?

You make it look so easy lol. I have blanking kit fancy doing mine???? 😂

How it been running since you blanked off the egr’s any dash board lights I have just bought a 2010 and have this fault listed PCM-Engine TDV8 3.6L P0407-21 (2F) Exhaust gas recirculation sensor B circuit low - General signal failure - signal amplitude

have you removed your DPF also?

What about the MOT?

Did you or do you now get a puff of diesel soot when you put it full throttle? I'm trying to work out if the EGRs are my cause and, if it's worth getting a re-map and them switched off.

No Check engine lights triggered whatsoever? No need to electronically reprogram the engine computer?

Can i pass the mot without dpf?

I know, a lot of people do this. But, it is not street legal. In Europe, if you dirve a car that isn`t street legal, you loose your licence. Mot a big problem, because it is invisible, but... The other question: if the egr works, it reduces the burning temperature. Without egr, the engine wil runner hotter!

I thought you were going to Sell the range rover

Let us know how it drives mate

You need reflash map

Just gona clog dpf quicker

what about the error codes?

Aside from the legal/environmental/emissions related side effects, I'd think twice about doing this on a TDV8, especially a working one. EGR reduces emissions by reducing combustion temperatures, and as the turbos on these engines are marginal at best, I'd do all I could to make life easier for them. I've replaced many many turbos on these over the years, they're a nightmare job, time consuming and expensive. I know I'll get trolled by the 'take off all the emissions junk' warriors,and yes, on some engines it has a huge effect, but on these ones, no thanks....

Love your vids but I don’t condone breaking the law and even more just for the hell of it. It’s illegal in the UK 🇬🇧 where you live to do this and more over it pumps cancerous pollution into the environment.
