    EGR Removed

    Hi there gurus,

    A couple of weeks ago I eventually removed the EGR from my 2002 Defender TD5. I left the water plumbing and cooler in place, as I want to convert it into a hot water shower. I traced the vacuum pipes back to the valves and blocked them with suitable screws.

    There is now buzzing noise coming from the valves after I've been driving for a while, they are quite when I start the engine though.

    Is that something that I'll just have to get used to or did I do something wrong or is there still something I need to do?

    Cheers, Jurgens.

    Have you disconnected the two actuators by removing the plugs as well?

    I used a pdf installation file from the td5alive site when I did my D2, it's got some good pictures of each step.

    Nope, that I haven't done. I did buy my kit from TD5Alive but did not receive any instructions.

    Do they not have another purpose other that EGR related? If they are only required for the EGR why not remove the whole lot.

    Cheers, Jurgens.

    The file states the exhaust blanking plate does not need a gasket, however, mine developed a leak after a short time, I could hear it, took a bit to track it down. Made a gasket for it, replaced the allen headed bolts with proper bolts [ same spec, tension, as manifold bolts], all good. Bob
