Evening all

for the last 2 days have had an issue that i will attempt to describe with the hope that our very knowledgable members will know what the cause is

after starting from cold (can't say about when warm yet) and driving off the throttle is intermitantly unresponsive ie, press the pedal and car pulls very slowly hardly revving even when pushed to the floor, and then all of a sudden it's like a connections established and the car takes off like a scolded cat, seems to improve as car warms up but am not sure.

Doesn't make any difference if i put the gearbox in command shift either.

When i left the office today i started the car and tried to rev it while stationary and it didn't rev hardly at all, put in gear pulled away and just crawled then after about 200 meters suddenly picked up and shot off like a rocket.

BTW 2.7 tdv6, any ideas guys, pleeeeese

Failing EGR valves.
Blank them off and you'll be fine.
Unless you've also got black smoke, in which case intercooler hose is split. Bodsys Brake Bible

Cheers Bodsy

been doin a bit of searching on here and it did lead me to suspect the egr's might be at fault but not a clue really.

Can't thank you and others enough for the input on this forum

Just need to find someone to do it as i reckon it might be beyond me and my tool collection

Oh no black smoke

looking at all the posts on egr issues got me thinking

is it possible to blank the pipes on the top end rather than the end on the egr body ?

or is that not a good idea or just plain

And do you deffo have to remove the butterfly ?

ta

There not hard to do, just get a blanking kit and follow the instructions 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
2009 TDCi 90 current
2018 Discovery 5 HSE lux current
1994 Dakar current

kit is ordered, should be here by Tuesday and will have a stab at it.

Apart from the fact it's a to drive when the egr's play up is there any long term issues if not sorted in a few days ?

Quick update,

managed to get into local indie before my blanking kit arrived, they diagnosed egr's not failing but maybe electrical fault not showing on the diagnostic thing.

I said well blank em anyway while you've got the car, which they did and, the car is fine since.
