EGR Emulators

They are fitting new "plugs" tomorrow so I assume that there is a bad connection to the emulator. The error is EGR open circuit.


Hopefully the engine light will not go on after tomorrow. The car runs fine and it is not causing any problems. I just did 700km over the weekend with no issues, other than the engine light being on.

Remember if you just blank EU4 cars you will get the fault light because the ECU is still receiving fault or incorrect signals from the broken EGR. Having serviceable EGRs connected to the loom the ECU thinks the EGRs are all OK.

Garry, is this something that only works for older models?
Not across the detail but think I've read that later models with the higher emissions standard can't be defeated in this way.

Hi Scott - no idea - mine is a mid 07 (late MY07 - EU4) and I can only comment on my own experience. I thought that the 2.7s did not go to EU5 - for that the LR went to the low power 3.0 that replaced the 2.7 as well as the high power 3.0.

Cheers

Managed to get in touch with Galy ( Mark ) today , said he was still working on the upgrade for his emulators .
Also let him know that there were some people having problems getting through to him and let him know that there posts on the Aulro site for him to look at, he said he will get onto the site and check it out .
Not sure where to go from here as my emulators are only throwing a P0402 code and causing no other problems or faults and no EML light after 10 months fitted , i got the same result when i fitted a set of egrs as emultors a couple of yrs back , so i am not all that worried at the moment and will probably just leave them on .
My RRS is a 2007 January built 2.7 , so probably has not got a full Euro 4 ECU software , maybe . Allen .

My D3 has a Territory 2014 2.7 in it and that was EU4 specs, so it is likely that they didn't go to EU5 on the 2.7. (At least not till after 2014 anyway.)
Best part of getting EGR blanking and emulators was about 20% drop in running temperature when driving about town (Temp needle now sits below halfway, unless I get on open road).
Those EGR's much add a considerable increase to coolant temperature, so getting rid of them has been a real positive.
Figure that has to be good for trans temp as well.
Would recommend EGR blanking if for no other reason than cooling improvement.

No noticble difference to cooling in my 05 D3 with the EGR blanked. Perhaps your differnece is in the new engine?

Using gauge or IID tool / Scangauge?

The dash is normalised.

2015 is still EU4

IID tool - still runs up around 100deg on the highway

I cannot see how simply blanking the EGRs will have any impact on cooling - the EGRs are still exposed to the exhaust and the coolant still runs through them - blanking has no impact on this.

The observed changes in coolant temp will have more to do with replacing a hi km LR engine with a low km Territory engine not the blanking process.
