Hi all, New to the forum and RRS ownership. Been reading this topic with interest. My 2010 RRS 3.0 HSE blows some blue smoke on heavy acceleration (I don't notice it any other time) and wondered if cleaning out this MAP sensor might help. I had a go today but the sensor wouldn't come out after removing retaining screw. I'm probably being too timid not wanting to break the thing Should it come out easily? Any help appreciated. It's covered 68k btw.
Thanks.

Thanks for replies.

Eventually, got round to removing MAP sensor. Found it clean as a whistle

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing the blue exhaust smoke (only when accelerating hard). I've had my RRS for a couple of months now and loving it but the smoke is annoying .

I'm up to some easy investigations but don't have facility or tools to "get stuck in" as it were

Thanks in advance for any hints, tips or help.

If you want to join in the fun have a look at http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic64159.html if you've got a TDV6 lump. It easy to check, if I can do it a blind monkey with a severe hangover can do it. Thought of you peeps as the RRS is just the D3s less good looking twin!

Ducking for cover.

Yes that's right give it a good tug

Just checked mine and it was filthy. Now cleaned and hopefully that might help towards my pretty bad MPG. Great heads up post BTW. Just the sort of thing one joins the Forum for. Thanks.

Forgot to mention my RRS is a 2011 HSE with only 26,000 miles on the clock so was surprised it was so caked up.

Checked and cleaned mine today. As Nigel52 said 'Great heads up post' Thanks

Folks,

after reading this thread and the corresponding one on the D3 site thought I'd check mine. I've got an '06 TDV6 with 58000 on the clock and it was completely bunged up! Sorry, didn't take any pics..... To be honest mine felt fine before but occasionally got a bit of hunting at idle, this seems to have fixed that so far!

Is it worth blanking my EGR's even if they are working fine at the moment?

Cheers, Jem.

When Betsy was getting her remap the guy doing it cleaned mine out, and it was FULL of .

Since the remap ive had a terraclean, egr blank, and a soft reset if the gearbox, and a new Air Flow Meter fitted. Only had her about 4 weeks and the drive is so different! Gears are smooth and for a 2.7 she is rapid. I'm very jealous of the SC owners now, as the drive must be amazing. Betsy is only 2.7 but is rapid now, and I'm starting to have a bit of fun with her!

Id blank the EGR's, lots of recommendations 2006 HSE for Sale - £7,499 (Manchester)

took mine out and cleaned it (quite filthy with just a tiny hole thru the crud) as Jem said, a bit of hunting on tickover just after startup seeems to have gone now, easy job

Wee update..
Been keeping an eye exhaust smoke over passed months and seems to have disappeared under hard acceleration Don't know why but all seems well. Maybe needed time to clear out accumulated soot/crud/whatever??
Haven't done anything but have been on M8 a lot in recent weeks/months maybe that helped..
This is a cracking RRS forum guys.. really glad I joined up. Hints and tips and other info very helpful.
Cheers.

Hi guys,
I own a 2010 Range rover sport 3.0tdv6 HSE
Where can i find the map sensor on my car. Any pics? Is it like other Range Rovers on the intake?

Update!

I think i found it. In the intake in front of oilfilter.
Thanks anyway guys!

Heres my Map sensor from todays clean. No problems before, just thought I'd check it anyway. It was a bit groggy but haven't noticed many more MPG's or anything than some people report on.
