Hi old growler
thanks for the info I only use shell,esso or bp fuel
i have noticed the Oil level seems to have risen slightly.
the valve does move freely & returns when manually moved with a screw driver but prior to cleaning it was sticking open, my thought was that the egr sticks open and the electro part has some kind od coil within it that is activated by the ecu & possibly the 'coil' has failled as I am not sure how to see if it opens and closes. that frustrating thing was that after cleaning i left the car idling for 20-25 mins and no 'RP' however as soon as i moved 10feet to drive off 'RP' came on.
Oil & filter change will be done in the next week only done 6000miles since change but will do it again.
also i'll do the additive ...i did read somewhere that people were adding 2 stroke to their fuel mainly Discov owners.
Still would like details from someone who has replaced their egr ....whats the view on blanking by the eay
Thanks Colin

Hi All
I have 2006 stype 2.7 diesel 840000 on the clock
i have searched but cannot find anything on this
I need to replace the drivers side rhs (UK) egr valve p0402 its faulty was sticking so cleaned it in situ and the MAS sensor but still 'restricted performance' , however during the couple of weeks when trhe weather was below or close to freezing it was fine.
managed to remove the egr outlet pipe.
I've unplugged the old one and tried the replacement ( placed it on the side ) and there is no restricted performance indication & running the engine it actuates then on shutdown it runs through its little cycle before it closes, as soon as I plus it back into the old one restricted performance comes up.
now i have looked at the manual but it is quite devoid of 'how to'
is the removal done from above the engine bay ? or do you have to remove the inner wheel arches ? or below the car ?
the bolts are almost impossible to get to the 3 off (8mm) that secure the egr valve body to the block ( as the suspension turret is in the way),let alone the egr inlet pipe bolts at the back of the block/head
has anyone actually removed and replaced the egr on their s type ? could someone please give me some 'how to ' tips from first hand experience ie how to over come the 2 small metal pipes that run along side it plus the large pipes behind the deadening material

Hello everyone
I have just purchased my first jaguar a 2006 s type xs 2.7d
My wife who has to wear hearing aids was most excited about seeing the car,so this afternoon we decided to go for a drive, she sat down in the passenger seat I put the key in the ignition to give her a tour of the features of the car only to be confronted by both her hearing aids 'clacking' constantly !
however if she moved back and forth or side to side it did diminish.
This was the same with the engine running with nothing operating in the car.
Could this be something to do with ultra sonic sensors monitoring the alarm or some other device in the cabin ?
It does not happen or appear to when she sat in the drivers seat.
It does not have a telephone or bluetooth installed ( yet )
She has never had this before in any vehicle I or she has owned in the past.
Has anyone else who is a hearing aid wearer experienced this ?

hi old peter
well i've used redex additive in the fuel, now i've used an egr cleaner jml...first blast with the air intake as directed...air pipe back and gave it a run...'rp' light.
got back and repeated the process...put the air pipe back on fired up 'rp'... shut it down removed the air pipe revved it up no 'rp'
i did notice a smattering of Oil cpmming out of the 'warm' recirculated air pipe..put it back took it for a run after about 1 mile 'rp'...
on the way back ( stopped off for a couple hours) drove home no 'rp'...
my vin s 10 digit is 6 which I thought was ok for egr blanking as i thought this is the same engine in the disco 3 ..
colin
well all seemed 'rp' free last night on a 10 mile round trip
this morning about 5 miles into my journey 'rp'
all the way to ipswich ...
then on the way home no 'rp' !!!!!
any sugggestions as tif its worth getting the code cleared as so far its cost me £60 in code reads....
can anyone give me some pointers on replacing an egr valve on the right hand side uk drivers side as the tech manual assumes that there is around 2 feet of space around the engine bay !!!!
