The car is a Disco 3 With 2.7 TDV6 and the egr valve is showing a fault so rather than get new EGR valve as i have read that the power down low is increased and the MPG is increased as well. BUT as its a 2008 model the the engine ECU has to be fooled into thinking the EGR is working . Does anyone know what tool i need to do this ,Does the Nanacom do it or the iCar 2 the tool of choice.
Also its recomended that the butterfly valve is removed any one done these mods?
Before anyone gets worried that this will affect the MOT the car is in Australia where there is no MOT only a safty check when car is sold.
 
Another way to fool the ECU is to fit egr emulators to the solenoids but that would be the same price as renewing the valves
 
I have fitted the blanking plate kit and removed the butterfly in the manifold and the results are good there is no smoke on startup or when giving it wellie as there was before. The MIL light can be turned of but reappears after a while.I have not got a software patch but today fitted a resistance on the MAF wiring but im not wholly convinced that it has cured it . after I fitted the blanking plates I have driven it about 750kms and are pleased with the results and i think the MPG is better. Will let you all know how I get on with the resistance fooling the MIL light.
 
Have fitted the resistance to fool the MIL light but after a few miles the light will reappear and the reader states that egr A side is reading low will clear for a while but always comes back on. I am now waiting for a new valve so i measure resisitances on wires and maybe fit risistors to the plug if not just plug the valve in without fitting to the car as the EGR is blanked off. WIll let you know how i get on with it.
 
I have the same issue as above. No power and assumption is that EGR is blocked, gone. My disco is a 2008 disco 3 2.7. IM happy to get a blanking kit and probably competent enough to complete that but not any software changes mods. Does anyone here know anywhere in republic of Ireland who might help. Or Northern Ireland I guess. Thanks

Most remapping companies can do the software patch, some do it over the internet if you have the correct diagnostic tool
