Nice video sir , I wanna permanently remove my EGR VALVES from engine. Remove and block it on the cylinder head EGR output . Also will remove DPF and gut him out .
Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. If you watch my video " 2.7 diesel TDV6 cylinder head removal Jaguar, Range / Land Rover ", about 20minutes in I show how to remove the turbos, what is not shown is disconnecting the catalytic converters ( 3 nuts ) that fitted on the back of the cats.
Thank you very much for this very interesting video. Is it possible to change the EGR valve without dismantling the cooler as I am very hesitant to drain the cooling system (XJ 2.7)? Daniel
Hi Daniel, thank you for watching and for your feedback. Yes it is possible, the easiest way I find is to disconnect as per video ( extra1 bolt and a clamp to remove apart from what needs to be removed attached to / securing EGR modulator valve ) leave the hoses connected and move unit an inch or so away from cylinder head for easier access to awkward bolt ( cylinder head side ) securing valve to coolant manifold. If you would prefer you could clamp the hoses ( you would lose less than half a cupful of coolant ) If you need to replace, follow the above but if you want to clean then first try removing enough for access, the EGR exhaust gas to electric throttle tube ( one that fits on top of EGR valve ) spray an EGR valve cleaner in the hole as per instructions on can, bolt the tube up and run the engine. Thanks again for watching.
@@crystalclearmechanics Hi, does it means coolant won't come off if we simply remove the EGR itself (removing the 3 bolts and the 2 for the cooler manifold, leaving the manifold in place with all its hoses)? The manifold is see through hence my question. Thanks
@@marcapouli7805 Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. What you say is correct, if you leave the hoses connected you won't loose coolant. The see through part of the manifold is for the gas to pass through.
Very informative I'm an old school mechanic and have a 3.0 XF diesel that will barely idle and certainly won't rev but no fault codes apart from the ones I have created. I'm in the process of removing the egr valves to check them did you find any issues? Cheers, Phil.
Hi Phil, thanks for watching. No I did not find any issues with the EGR valves but then the engine ran perfect except for bottom end noise which I will show the cause of in another video. If you could give me some details on the car, year / mileage / how did the problem start, instant or gradual / hot cold or all the time, as much information relative to the problem really, I may be able to help. Thanks again for watching.
@@crystalclearmechanics Thanks for getting back to me it's a 2010 XF 3.0 Diesel V6 high mileage 170,000 miles and passed it's French MOT with no advisories to now not drivable at the minute. Starts and idles roughly and will not rev up as though she can't breathe. I've removed the exhaust system completely from the turbos back and no blockages. Hence looking at removing egr valves to see if they are okay.
@@woodrimcars2324 Hi Phil, It could be your EGR valves if not have you checked the fuel system on the low pressure side, in tank supply pump / fuel contamination etc, air intake system including turbo pipes etc.
Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. You would need a workshop manual for your car, they are usually available on Amazon / Ebay in CD or USB form.
Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. If you go to my video ( 2.7 diesel TDV6 cylinder head removal ) from 20 minutes 36 seconds in to 25 minutes 12 seconds it shows the turbo locations and removal. Thanks again for watching.
