Thanks Nodge, was thinking the shafts/cv joints would pull out of the hub, similar to the front?

I like to get my hands dirty once in a while.

I need the car as a daily driver and thought about dropping the diff/haldex/& rear drive shafts from the car. Thinking the car would still be drivable, then refurb the diff and Haldex. In terms of special tools, can they be made?

Appreciate the reply Nodge. That's the bearing for the shaft directly connected to the Haldex unit?

The prop shaft on my 2010 td4e had a little rotational play, before I removed it completely. (the back wheels were scrabbling while driving around a tight circle) Haldex clutch seized? I originally thought the 2 piece prop - shaft had developed play/damage at the centre bearing sliding element...

I've concluded that the ECU - EGR , depends heavily on the MAF for correct idling and other functions. Hope this post helps others with idling issues (check MAF - plug contacts - wiring)

Ying yang (idle) balance has been restored... figured if ebay crank sensors can have slightly thinner contact pins, (read that in another post) causing intermittent signal, may be the ebay MAF i had installed has too?........so got my scanner out and watched the egr position values on live...

cheers, I will check your thread out thanks. The fault is definitely intermittent, which is leading me to think this could be an electrical issue, bad connection somewhere on the loom, ecu, egr , o2 sensor, throttle body maybe?

Hi Nodge, sorry bout late reply. I,m certainly ruling nothin out..how expensive is the software needed??

Thanks (Grumpygel) I think the EGR module may be intermittently getting wrong instructions from the ECU when the engine is idling, as the smog/smoke created out of the exhaust is definitely more than the CAT can handle when the phenomena occurs.Maybe the egr valve doesn't know where its at...

Ok, thanks....so seems like an (undetermined) intermittent fault causing the EGR valve to open excessively. Maybe related to the throttle pedal position sensor fault?..(scratching head)..scanner is not showing faults for the o2 sensor, but no live readings either.....

Thanks Nodge. The MAF figures quoted are all car at stand still and engine at idle. TBH I think when the MAF reading was 16g/s at idle, the egr was fully closed, once the egr opened the maf reading dropped by 6g/s. Am i right in thinking the throttle body helps with EGR gas recirculation too? I...

...so got my scanner obd plugged in while using the car after a couple of days......car started great and idle was fine, Maf at a steady 16g/s....I blipped the throttle and the idle dropped slightly with MAF at 10g/s.......EGR command between 3 and 18% up and down, but idle and maf stable..Drove...

Car is acting like nothings wrong at the moment, so I'm letting the motor cool down....but will certainly jump on that when the fault returns Nodge

Might well need JLR as strangely, my scanner won't show live MAF values in diagnostic mode until the car is moving?......but it will show in OBD2 mode and at idle.....might be something?

Turns out ( as nodge suggested) the idle revs are dipping and rising with egr valve actuation?, the egr voltage shown below represents falling revs with falling voltage...EGR is choking the car at idle for unknown reason........and wondering if the throttle pedal is causing this?....

Thanks for reply Nodge, I've tackled my throttle pedal. (before forking out) Comes apart ok, removed 3 nuts holding it on and pried off the cover via the clips once removed from the car. TBH, it seemed clean inside and even a cotton bud didn't get mucky soaked in contact cleaner. The terminal...

Alternatively, I'm going to try cleaning my exiting pedal electronics, assuming i can get at the potentiometers as in the following you tube video;- Will get back soon
