Snowski, Glad you got the kit fitted ok. MPG is not normally worse from blanking the EGR's and some report a gain, However if the garage has done a hard driving road test before handing you the car back it could show low for the next few miles untill it settles with your normal driving again.

Any chance of an update / status on a software patch to close the EGR Valves ?

@D4jww,
Have checked the P0402 code in more detail, and it is a relevant code actually. Besides the MAP, the ECU is also using the MAF to check the operation of the EGR. So, when you blank of the EGR, there will be more airflow under the check conditions. Did the code ever came back? RRS SDV6 HEV Dynamic
XKR 700 BHP with Twin-screw and LSD

Yes and it's a big frustration p0402 appear and then 4 other codes( all relating to loosing coms with engine ecu)that gives 4 warning lights and then suspension lowering as explained in my post http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic77360.html
I am realy going crazy, because it's intermittent did a 60 mile run yesterday and none of the codes showed. However the latest sequence is start engin after running FBH so half normal coolant temp then town driving for half a mile, results in 4 warning lights + suspp lowering, ignition of check and clear codes restart drive 39 miles highway with longer that 4.6seconds down hills, no problem not even a none tested fault nothing. Help with explaining this sequence of events that result in the D3 thinking its a problem that requires lowering of suspp??????
I am close to the point of removing the blanking kit and return to normal but that would be terrible so plan B put butterfly back but drill holes in it??? Comment on the success of this would be helpful!!
Anothe option is some one mentioned that on a jaguar forum it has work on similiar engine because of the use of bleeding holes( more info would help)

I am pretty sure I read on a Jag forum that they uses a 7mm hole, however I think that is with one EGR valve, so if you are drilling holes in 2 EGR valve then i would assume you would need 2 hole with half the area of the 7 mm hole.

This may help with your math

Thanks SRE, can you remember if that's in the erg blanking plate or the Buttefly valve? Because I would want to avoid hole in the blanking plate, because the objective with this mod was to avoid exhaust gasses going back into the inlet manifold.
Short trip today no motor way driving and My D3 is lowering again, DTC P0402 is back

Do you only get the code P0402, or also the check engine light? RRS SDV6 HEV Dynamic
XKR 700 BHP with Twin-screw and LSD

No engine management light, just p0402! Maybe my vin 9A499*** has got something to do with it, the spesial lowering suspension safety feature

Just having the code isn't any issue, or is there? RRS SDV6 HEV Dynamic
XKR 700 BHP with Twin-screw and LSD

No got 5 other DTC all intermitted and basicly loosing comms with engine ECU see summary http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/displayima...amp;pos=27
Ride is a bit bouncy but looks good in London
Avos Is there away you could read your Engine ECU software reference?
