I can recomend Dovers Automotive at Wangarra for any work you may need on your landy .

You can also get EGR Emulators at Autocode in Welspool which will might be easier than Blanking but more expensive and the EGR,s will need to be in the closed position before fitting Emulators . I would just blank them .

Remove the butterfly.

I can explain exactly why

In an engine, when that butterfly closes it’s because the EGR is expected to be open.
Without functioning EGR the engine now generates a vacuum and can draw oil up.

Blanking the EGR takes minutes, allows the pipes to be removed - which is beneficial when doing other tasks on the engine eg Coolant outlet

Confirming you deactivated EGR function via BAS program on IID tool?

D4, yes, IID EGR deavtiation.. Inlet manifold almost clean when I decided to proactively diassemble to do water outlet.

Instead of messing with the pipes just pulled them out, plugged with blanking plates on EGR cooler and inlet manifold ($40.00 online - no time to make stuff anymore)

Makes everything else easy.
