Hi there
Need some help been looking on E bay at these bypass valves has anybody fitted one how good are they and will they do what they claim or just bugger up the engine. This is what they say:-
Landrover Freelander TD4 Diesel EGR Bypass Valve
This valve has been carefully designed and manufactured to replace the original EGR valve system. The original system allows hot and contaminating exhaust gasses to enter the intake system on the Landrover Freelander TD4 diesels and mix with the oil causing thick layers of carbon/sludge to build up on the walls of the intake system thus reducing performance. Also the EGR valve that is present in the standard EGR body reduces the intake opening by some 40% which in return severly restricts the volume of air reaching the engine thus reducing performance.
The factory fitted exhaust gas recirculation system has been applied to all modern diesel and petrol engines for some years. The basic principal behind the factory part is to allow some of the exhaust gasses to enter into the inlet system, essentially helping to control the emission out put of the vehicle. However, this is not necessary as diesels are not measured on CO2 emission out put, but particulate (soot). There are two main draw backs from having this on your car. One, is that by allowing hot exhaust gas to pass back in to your inlet system you lower the effective combustion achieved, as an engine will always combust better on cold dense air. Secondly, the soot from EGR mixes with the oil vapor produced by the turbo and forms a paste which sticks to the inlet manifold and ports and reduces the flow, in effect causing the engine to strangle itself.
The EGR bypass has been manufactured using 8mm thick laser cut flanges (unlike other cheap versions on ebay that come with a 4mm flange that easily distorts and does not seal properly) and all the sub assembly components have been assembled using jigs to ensure accuracy and consistency every time. This product has been MIG welded by a time served welding engineer.
Each EGR valve is professionally fully POWDER COATED in gloss black to ensure that an excellent aesthetic appearance is achieved along with maximum corrosion protection thus ensuring that the product enjoys . Other cheap EGR bypasses on ebay are poorly wet sprayed and have exposed parts of the component that will corrode within days of fitting.
This replaces the existing EGR assembly and in return it offers the following improvements over the standard EGR system.
§ Improved air flow.
§ Reduced turbo lag,
§ More torque from 1200rpm till the redline
§ Smoother engine running
§ Better throttle response
§ Prevents carbon build up in the intake system
§ More power (up to 10bhp)
§ Significant reduction of black smoke under full acceleration.
Go on give your Landrover Freelander TD4 the Power Increase that it deserves.
Please note that this item is designed and manufactured to very high standards unlike other replica EGR bypasses that have started to appear on ebay which are of poor quality!!!
