This could be a good option for the tdv8 L322. Here's what the intake manifold looks like after 250,000km.

I haven't checked it in the last 5000km to see what impact disabling the EGR has had.

What I want to know is if a long highway trip such as what I have done aids in clearing it out or makes no difference.
With so many LRs employed in driving to the shops and back or school and back for wifey makes me wonder what condition they are in when turned over at the end of the 3 year lease?
It will help clean carbon from the engine (e.g. pistons) and exhaust but not the intake. Diesel soot is stable until 550oC. DPFs have catalysts that lower that temperature to around 350oC.Quote:

It's probably worth it then. I'm thinking about taking your provent off the 4BD1 and putting it on the tdv8.
Most of the muck in those Pics is EGR...
I took the elbow hose off the driver side bank. Quite a bit of oil coated the inside but no EGR soot. The inside of the intercooler and turbo must be coated in oil.
You get the build up of EGR soot because it mixes with the condensed oil vapors - get rid of either the CCV or the EGR, and you don't get that build up. Disable both and your intake should stay sparkling clean!Quote:

Sigh. It has nothing to do with the number of turbos. It’s fitted to the rocker covers and recovers any oil within the crank case before it enters the intake. You may be surprised to know your engine has one built into it from the factory in the centre of the engine in the V.Quote:
