Towing with caravan last weekend with sport(2.7v6) car lost power 5 times within 50 miles with the engine system fault displayed each time , no fancy lights at all, switch off and all sweet again again each time, next day drove home around 100 miles with no problems this time, took the car into the Stealers had the car for two days and came back with this, Sir after extensive testing our technicians have found the fault to be both the EGR valves the car has done high mileage(152,000 miles) and worn out, one stuck open and one stuck closed causing the engine system fault, the cost would be approx 500 pounds N/S one and 515 pounds O/S one we can get the parts overnight Sir and fit them tomorrow, now its gets better, i said hold on you fitted both EGR valve 7 months ago and vehicle only done 8,000 miles since fitment, the phone went quite for a few seconds and when he checked on his computer he said you are right, obviously not checked the service records before he rang me, then mentioned he will have to speak to service manager and warranty lady who are not here at the moment, how can both EGR valves fail within a short period, does this sound like they are committed to replaced them under warranty, back of my mind tells me these are ok and will be rejected by Land Rover as no fault found, will be interesting now as they say its the EGR valves and they cannot change there minds and say its something else, what do you thing guys

Land Rover offer a 12 month warranty on parts, however they may claim that the EGR valves failure has been caused by somthing else i.e. not covered by warranty.

Firstly, those prices are ludicrous! A pair of valves can be had over here for no more than about £350.

I strongly suggest you blank them - if your RRS is pre-07MY (I'm guessing it probably is since no warning light), it's cheap and simple with no software patch needed. If not, it can still be done with a software patch.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Yep the price is very stupid but thats is NZ for you, sport.is 09my and no one does the programming I think in the South Island of NZ. I took out a mechanical warranty when I bought the car so that paid for the last egr valves. Still have one year to run.

For that price, you could buy an IID BT, have it shipped to NZ, use it to apply a BAS remap with the EGR patch and still have money left over.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Going to look at buying the llD tool this weekend but would the remap work on a 2009 model. Actually the vehicle build date was dec 2008

Do you get the fault when not towing??? If it is the EGRs then you will get the fault in all circumstances.

My RRS gets the same engine fault when I am towing and using high power - my understanding the ECU reads a too high MAP for what it thinks the engine is doing and throws up the fault. Mine only does it when towing and accelerating up hill or in other high load conditions - does not do it all in any conditions when not towing. Likewise when just driving along when towing it does not appear.

I have learnt how to switch the engine off and back on when driving so no longer have to stop to reset.

Hi all

any one got any advice Please??

I have RRS 2.7 TDV6 2007

my engine managment light has come on on plugging it in to a machine it says egr valves

has anyone used the EGR valve spray??

It says to spray it into the air intake

DOES THIS WORK????

if it does work surely that wouid only be 1 side as the air intake only runs through 1 side (I THINK)

The only real way is to remove them and clean them but often they have failed mechanically and no amount of cleaning will sort that, maybe look at blanking Nanocom Evo

Thanks Jaggs

Not sure wanna go down the blanking route,

is it worth trying this EGR cleaner spray?

I had a good result with reconditioning my air compressor for the active suspension works fine

I have just refurbished a second one for a spair 2007 RANGE ROVER SPORT 2.7 TDV6 HSE in silver
