To windy to go fishing in Darwin today, so took the Mrs for a drive, only took 20 minutes to find a scrap bin with suitable steel to block off the ERG, an hour later thanks to the great drawing on here , valeve blocked off and butterfly removed.
Thanks for the information.
Yes the hoses were full of oil, that will be nextweekends job, clean the hoses and intercooler and hoses
cheers

If the erg was blocked would a fault code be generated that a dealer notice

On CRD engines yes that is quite likely. On CRD motors it's best to drill a small hole in the blocking plate so it is a restrictor not a full blank off, that stops it from logging a fault code.

Does anyone know if this is part of the egr on my td42ti?
Its below the intercooler going into the manifold, tried finding where the other end of the pipe came from but lose it behind the engine

Here ya go mate.

Have spent around $800 to find and fix the problem of why my 98 GU 2.8 (which I recently brought) smoked worse than a forgotten BBQ, turned out that all that needed to be done was plate off the EGR valve. I had mechanics tell me it was the injectors, a turbo mob told me there was no problems and it was just a smoky engine. I then let a mob called Diesel Care (in Toowoomba QLD) have a look and problem fixed . All other names have been omitted due to their stupidity, great thread wish I had of read it earlier.

Good to see that's all sorted Mate. Cheers.

Blocked my EGR today with a "Ferret EGR Plate". Yes, Ferret, I know I bought it at the 4WD show but I been slack getting around to it.

Man, what a difference. I was gobsmacked. The EGT's are down by heaps and fuel economy has improved as well but I need a tankful to tell exactly how much but looks like at least 1.5 Litres per Hundred. Max Boost has climbed back to about 20 PSI because I had already wound down the Turbo a smidge to 16 PSI.

Might have to invest in a Dawes just for the sake of it. Not really interested in a Needle setup as I don't rrse around enough to be needing to vary spool up rates etc and Needle valves have a habit of getting out of adjustment. I did get the P0401 Code once so far but the Scangauge sorted that out.

That's good mate, took ya time eh?? you should notice that it spools up about three to four hundred revs earlier. Keep an eye on the boost tho, you may need to fit a manual boost control.
have you removed the butterfly and cleaned out the intercooler and it's hoses? this is very important as part of blocking the EGR. is yours a 3L, 2.8 or 4.2? Next thing is to run it on 200 to one two stroke, you will notice better fuel saving and a quieter motor, cheers Rod.
