Diverted oil vapours to drip tank, what's this mean airaldi


Search "Catch Can"

It is basically a 'can' spliced into the existing pipe from the sump to the air inlet, designed to catch any oil vapors and so prevent them from entering the air intake area of the motor.
As well as the EGR blanking, this also gives a much cleaner intake area and less/no clogging of 'the works'

I blanked off my egr valve using a plate.
Takes longer to warm up runs no difrently that I notice
One question, when I start the car first thing in the morning I get a blue smoke cloud that clear instantly from the exhaust
69000 miles diesel 2008
Could this be the engine clearing out old egr crap
Thanks Martin

Thanks Airaldi, could you explain what pipes you have got connected? As well as the black and transparent pipes it looks like you have two fittings coming off the catch can, are these connected to anything?

With this configuration, that is, eliminating the vapor engine oil into the combustion chambers increases the dynamic efficiency of the engine and reduces fuel consumption of about 0.4 L / 100km. try it ............

Hello Richp then the black tube is the tube that comes from the engine and enters the engine oil in the tank vapor condensation, li l 'oil settles, the transparent tube instead download the residual pressure in' the air under the car .

I would be very interested to hear about fuel consumption after the ECU remapping, before and after fitting the EGR blanking plate.

I feel lower consumption (but as I've just blanked the EGR with a plate, and did not drive enough to have real values)
But what I can say is the values returned from my ODB2 dongle : the Engine load decreases significantly and the Vol Effiency increases by 10-15% to be around 85% avg - 70-75% previously)
=> I can expect better MPG. ECU shows lower consumption, but I'm not driving as usual for the moment...
And I've changed the auto gear oil (can modify the engine load, but not Vol Efficiency....)
I have a 2008 FL2 auto gear, and it is just an EGR blanking plate without ECU remapping needed

So, if I have this right, fit an EGR blanking plate and then remap the ECU to switch off the sensor so the car does not throw a dicky fit?

If so, this seems like a good thing to do, especially if it has little impact on the emissions at MOT time.  MY2014 SD4 XS

Hi cqr

So where can I get a blanking plate, or is it a case of some plate steel and drill to suit  MY2014 SD4 XS

I can't remember where I got mine but a quick eBay search

I think later model freelanders may throw codes
Have a read up
