Let me revise my question: Is there any need to delete the egr cooling system AFTER remapping+blocking EGR valves?

Hi, After remapping ecu + delete dpf + delete egr.... I am satisfied and happy with the performance of the car. We removed also the dpf physically + I blocked the egr valves. Now: I think to cancel / delete the egr cooler system. Because I am suspicious that the cooling system water is unnecessary and there is a lot loss of cooling energy.. Anybody knows the cancelling / delete process of the cooling system of EGR? Thanks in advance..

Hi to all! I've completed the engine repair process.. Now engine runs without problem. But it was a heavy, long and expensive job. Probably, my next car will not be an used diesel... V8 gasoline engine seems to be good choice for me..

Yes, Our car "policy" or "politics" is quite interesting. We can not import second hand cars to Turkey even we pay the needed tax. Sure exluding rare exceptional situations, like workers living outboard for a along time etc... This law is "because" to protect the local car producers. We have a really "tough" custom - border rules. Once; I paid ~20€ punishment, because I had a 3-5liters of whiskey, which was exceeded the limit of 1lt/person, when we were 2 adults in the car. I even cant imagine to put some engine parts from Germany or Greece to Turkey... :) Yes we have many / plenty of classic cars here.. But I havent seen a W123 taxi for many years.. Did you also visit House of Holy Virgin Mary's, very near to Ephesus? PS : I have started to write my toughts and experiments about Jaguar Turkey or Jaguar center problem and neglentance to web.. They should produce (or use) high quality crankshafts.. Even at S type 2.7d diesels.. IMO S type diesel engines have problem at crankshafts. And Jaguar S type 2.7d diesel engines have manufacturing defects. The newer crankshafts are somewhat different than the older types.

Second hand S type 2.7d's at Turkey are sold about : €14,000 to €22,000.. Same years of Mercedes E Class is about 50% higher price.. But Jags are at low mileage, the E types with a high mileage.. :)

Hi Russ68, Thank you for your reply. My car (engine) is under a heavy repair... Still... I've bought the car for aprrx. 16K €. The new engine (the bottow half) : 6K €. A donor car.. It is too hard to find a "healthy donor" I couldnt. I decided to haul the engine. For probably 3 weeks, the engine is at the repair shop. The rest of the car is in my garden. I think within 2 weeks we will see the result. I've bought a 2006 Hyundai Starex 5+1, 2,5L Crdi A/T for a spare car (truck) Because I will take many spare parts to Corfu Island (Greece), I needed a reliable and big car. I communicated with Jaguar Turkey for my problem. And I complained about the crankshaft. They are not interested in the subject.

Thank you Interpolitan.. Peter; We have lots of big-luxurious cars in here, but l cant say much nice words about we drivers..

Hi, After having problem with crankshaft, rings and some additional parts.. Repairing the engine is quite expensive. My car is 2006 S type 2,7d. @105.000km. I plan to buy a complete new engine and import it to Turkey. Any advice for shop for engine will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi to all. After having 06 Sonata 3,3L, then a 04 Mercedes C270cdi, l've bought a 2006 S type 2,7d @100.000km. She is a quite nice car for me... Hence l like powerful cars. We also have a sailing catamaran @Corfu Island - Greece. Love to cruise.. We have dream -maybe plan- to trip half of Europe with car this summer.
