EGR Valve-

marjon said:

Welcome .

Sounds like a lot of guys involved that don't know.

If the remap guy knew it needed unplugging surely he would have done so?
If its been mapped out it shouldn't need blanking surely?

Dont know to be honest but sounds as if you have another problem, probably not related to the EGR.

The good guys who know the FL will be along soon.

The Gut who remapped it said about 1 in 500 needed unplugging. I cant see where it is plugged in and dont want to unplug the wrong thing!

My Freelander 2 went into limp mode and the code tht came up showed it was the EGR Valve. I took it to a local mechanic as it was due a service anyway . He serviced it and suggested i had it remapped so the EGR Valve wasnt see.
Tried this but still going into limp mode. Guy who remappaed it says i need to unplug the EGR Valve but cant see where from. Any Ideas?

Another guy suggested blanking it off which i have done but same issue. Any help gratefully received

You don't say what year the vehicle is. There are a couple of different EGR systems fitted to these vehicles. If it's after 2010, you can't have the EGR mapped out, as emissions control equipment is locked by LR.
It's just easier to replace the EGR valve and drive it. They fail every 100k miles or so, so it's not really an issue.
