Probably worth just replacing the EGR? I was under the impression they were around the 80 mark but probably knowing LR add an extra hundred to that now. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Yeah your right. Don't want to go through the faff of cleaning it up, putting it back on and it still doing the same.
Forgot to say in the original post, it's definitely the EGR valve making the noise - disconnect it and the noise disappears. Just had a quick look on eBay, seem to vary from between 80 to 100 plus shipping for the genuine Land Rover EGR valve and gaskets, not too bad. Reading up on it I think it's something I'll be able to manage to replace myself (fingers crossed) so that'll save a bit too - properly penny pinching now, putting an offer in on a house next week! |

Did you get your problem sorted? I've been experiencing the same issues but to a lesser extent... I'm worried it'll get stuck in the open position and leave me stranded. I have had luck running a diesel additive, I've done it though two tanks and the noise seems to be going away.

It's still got the original EGR valve on there, and it does seem to have quietened down. I got it checked out and was told that it was still working fine, just making a bit of a noise about it. I'm not sure if that's 100% accurate though, although I have had a couple of courtesy Defenders in the past, one was almost silent when it was doing it's cleaning cycle, the other made a fair old din.
I've been keeping my eye (or ears) on it the last few weeks though as it's for sale and don't want to let it go with any faults (but in the same breath I don't want to replace working parts) and it doesn't seem to be as vocal as it was in the video, and it still drives perfectly and I've got no engine management light. |
