| EGR blanking on -05, can it cause Limp home mode? |
|
I had faulty EGRs, bought a kit from Bell Auto, had a local mechanic install it and have driven happily for 6 months.
While "playing in the snow" testing the cars capabilities this winter it went into Limp home mode, and sent out all sorts of fault codes. Engine, body control etc. I was driving/spinning AND changing settings on Terrain Respons, wheel spin, wheel lift the works. All at the same time.
A very competent LR dealer is trying to fix it these days but are claiming the removed EGRs cause a; fault codes and b; limp home mode.
Could the EGR or butterfly valve cause this is removed/installed incorrectly? -05 TDV6 HSE dc5r

I doubt blanking egr could cause the limp mode
especialy on early models
look around hi pressure pump or mass flow meter for the reason
Egrs r not causing limping home

Blanking the EGR's would not cause engine safe mode but if EGR fault code is suggesting that, there may be a problem in the solenoid electrics. Some of the early EGR's suffered moisture ingress and corrosion. Faultmate MSV2 EXTREME

I've been driving with blanked EGR's and logged EGR fault codes for around a month now, but nothing untoward has happened. Don't believe it ever will either on an EUIII engine. Andy

OK, thanks for input. Could off course be a engine fault. I related it to height measuring and it`s limp home mode. -05 TDV6 HSE dc5r
