2.7 Range Rover Sport EGR Valves out & ECU Tuning Remap

Loads of stuff on here already but just thought I would say that I have removed my EGR Valves and had my ECU remapped and the car is miles better, MPG better and performance is up, worth the few hundred quid!

I used a chap in the Stockport/Cheshire area to sort the remap, the company is http://www.performance-blue.co.uk, they also do DPF removal and tuning, so if you are based in the North West area it is worth giving them a call, mention Phil @ DSG and you can then ask for a discount.... Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy , oh and ask for Colin or Rob......

The EGR valve kit cam off ebay and cost £16.00, bargain, 1.5 hrs to fit.

Chaps, worth every penny, don't drive a Range Rover Sport 2.7 HSE (mine is an 05) without doing this modification!!

I am just gutted i waited to get mine done,

PM me for any more details etc,

Being very new what do the EGR valves do? Why are they there if they are not needed?

Hi,
The EGR valves are the exhaust gas recirculating valves that are fitted to try and reduce emissions, they can get clogged up and often fail you open and shut properly sultig in poor Perfomance and then poor fuel economy.

I have removed mine and the cars is miles better, search on here for more info on EGR's as there is loads of info.

Any questions just ask.

Cheers Andy. Who can do that and how much do they normally charge? Looking at blanking them off to avoid future problems and getting a remap put on by AMD.

Speak to Alive Tuning. They can put you in touch with their nearest dealer, who can blank the EGRs, and provide you with a top notch remap Thumbs Up

Blanked off my EGRs this morning. A bit fiddly but fairly straightforward, took about 2 hours. Car started first time, ran fine, no smoke and no EML on dash. The write up on the Disco3 forum was very helpful.

Will run it for a bit to assess the difference, will consider a tune in the not too distant future. Thumbs Up

Thanks for the link phil, mucho appreciated will give it a crack next weekend. To save me starting a new thread, does a 2008 2.7 sport have a dpf or did they come on later models?
