But look how many of the Stainless Units he is selling from his feedback !!. There must be loads of people who have connected their vac pipe to the hollow stub on these units in error.

Mine does exactly the same as this. I Dont know if its designed to do this ? Anyone else had this issue ? or is this just how they work. Ed 2006 TD4

Hi Chaser Thanks for your reply. My Vac pipe is sealed !, BUT the issue is that the EGR Bypass being sold on Ebay does have a hollow stub and the sellers instructions clearly state that you should connect your vac pipe to this hollow stub. I know this becuase I bought one, realised this was...

So what else is dependant on the vacum pump working ? i.e If (when) the vac pump fails due to all this extra work it is now doing what else will break ! Anyone esle have a comment on this issue which could be quite important and relevant now that so many people have installed the EGR...

what would happen if you did not block of the vacumn hose once you fitted an EGR bypass. Would it use more fuel, or reduce performance, or what ? As many people have bought the stainless steel EGR bypass off fleabay with the drilled through nipple, then this is effectively how their engines...

AllanI - You would think that it would just be a stub. It is on my bypass. but the "stainless" bypass is drilled through, so the vac pipe is connected through to the airway !!! What would that do to the system ? There must be loads of people that have their vac pipe now connected to...

Mudcrawler - The EGR bypass that you have fitted is the one that has the vac hose take off that is drilled through to the main body. i.e Its not blanked off. Since I did my EGR bypass using the other black on that is on Ebay, (the one that does blank off the vac hose), I can now hear a spin...

I wonder why the Synergy would have such a dramatic impact on insurance premiums... Have you done the ERG Mod ? what impact did that have on your Insurance Premium ? I wonder how many people fit these units and do not declare it to the insurance company. How would they know one was fitted...

Thanks Chase - Will certainly check all hoses at the weekend. I had the 90 deg pipe to the EGR off at the weekend and maybe this split when I was putting it back on and I didnt notice. I did notice a kind of "swoosh" noise from the turbo last time I drove it (its my wifes car:) ) which I...

DearLander - is there any follow up to this thread. I am getting black smoke comming from my TD4 (like its under hard acceleration all the time). 30,000 miles only. Just changed Air Filter but have not yet changed Fuel Filter. I have the EGR blanking mod on order and will ensure the vac pipe is...

I made the same mistake as you. I am in the process of returning the one I purchased and buying the one recommended by Rover Ron. That one has a much thicker flange and welding looks much better IMHO. the other version by "evotomturbo" has two take off, one is blocked off (for the hose to go...

Sorry about the duplicate post in another thread, but I though my question was more appropriate in this thread. I am brand new on this board and just taken delivery of a 2006 Freelander TD4 2 weeks ago. I have been reading all these issues with VCU's - My question is that during all the...

Hi All Please can you help me too. I am brand new on this board and just taken delivery of a 2006 Freelander TD4 2 weeks ago. I have been reading all these issues with VCU's - My question is that during all the snow and ice I could not get the front wheels to spin at all. All 4 wheels just...
