Hi Andy.p sorry for arriving so late to your post. What year is for FL2? One of the first things I did was blank off the EGR, remove the swirl flaps and fit an oil catch can.

With your earlier model you can just blank off the EGR valve. Andy has a facelift, later model which also has a bypass valve on the egr cooler. If you just blank this off you get a permanent warning light and fault code. Apparently his garage has coded out the EGR so that the engine management no longer "looks for it", hence detecting no fault. Presumably they also blanked-off the egr but this seems uncertain. I'm interested in this because I also have a MY11 SD4 with an intermittent EML fault code • P245A-77 (EC) Exhaust gas recirculation cooler - bypass control circuit - Mechanical failure - commanded position is not reachable. |

I had this done just last week. Been having all sorts of problems after the car warmed up. Mechanic diagnosed a problem with the EGR so blanked it off and "remapped" the ECU so the car will run.

Mine is a MY2011 as I understand it if you have the "organ pipes" you have swirl flaps, Mine has no "organ pipes" so no swirl flaps to remove, but I have the later EGR cooler with the vacuum valve on it thats why it and the EGR was deleted on the ecu. Been running it now for a few weeks since the delete and have noticed better fuel comsumption and a bit more power with no eml light or flat spot. it does not look like they have blanked off at the throttle body either so I wonder if I put the blank back in place will it make any difference???
