Tried a few on various cars inc (BG44 and 2 stroke) - never did anything apart from lighten my wallet . If I had a 3.6 the first thing I'd be doing is to blank and software delete the EGR valves before they go wrong. Plenty of reports of these engines running better after this and turbo's being spared death by egr parts ingestion. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Interesting. Are there any know problems from deleting the EGR’s (guessing not by your note).

When I was looking to buy an L322 a 3.6 was an option so I did some research on it ( Blanking plates from Ebay and software delete via the GAP IID tool) but best get advice from others who have actually done it as to what improvement it made and what the downsides are. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I had a very noisy injection pump and put some Millers ecomax in the tank and the noise went away. Coincidence? |

I regularly used BG44 in my 3.6, it did no harm but then again did it do any good? Geoff |

speak to Empire in Colchester - one of the very best remap shops around for Range Rover ( and not far from you)

What little I have read on EGR deletes included mentions of it being an mot failure if spotted. Not sure how true that is but read it a few times now. Also issues with the engine management light seem common. But I guess if done by a specialist garage these issues would have solutions, you would hope. |

Blanked / missing EGR's are a MoT fail.

Yeah- it is a MOT fail, but a tester would never see it as it’s a) under the bonnet and b) under the engine cover and they cannot and have no reason to lift it, so it would never get spotted 2007 TDV8 Vogue SE

Yep, forgot to add the 'if modifications are visible' bit!
