Some guidance required please, as I’m am receiving conflicting advice online.

I have faulty EGR valves on both sides, one stuck open, the other stuck closed.

I have been considering fitting blanking plates and understand that the ECU will need to be re-mapped. My car has a DPF.

My first question is, given the cost saving of repairs (my main motivation), should I go down the blanking route?

Secondly, if yes, does anybody here have a sense of what the re-mapping costs might be, I’m in West Sussex.

Many thanks, in advance.

I did read somewhere that the car would only require re-mapping if the EGR valves were removed totally. If they are just blanked off, they can operate as necessary but obviously, don’t actually do anything.

Whether this information is correct or not, I do not know.

There is another post about the 2.7 concerning EGR valves. Contact Bell Services for advice and re-mapping.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

There’s a lot less on 3.0’s since they aren’t a slap it on and go fix. You’d need the EGR’s mapped out as well as the DPF (they work together) and then the DPF removed and “reworked” so it doesn’t clog. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

Thanks for you guidance and thoughts.

It sounds like I need to bite the bullet and replace both EGR valves.

Many thanks.
