Much appreciated!
I think i have covered all the areas of concern that the EGR system has on the 1KD D4D and its very close relationship it has with the Turbo.
I like allot of other people out there fitted the blanking plate without researching properly first and got to experience the outcome first hand then sat down and gave it some thought! (I walked the walk Lol).
The only difference that concerned me was that there would have been some people out there that would have had to pay someone to fit and remove that pesky plate! "Hence the post"
It only took me two hours to remove/replace EGR and cooler to fit the blanking plate (And clean EGR etc) but i am sure it would have caused allot of tears for those who are not in the know! Hence i had to share the experience
I figured that when i had to pull it apart "AGAIN" to remove that blasted plate i also carried on and pulled the manifold off so that i could clean that as well. That process took me a full day and it did need cleaning! (115K).
I drove up to Queensland today 1,000km and my 07 Prado drove really good
I am passionate about my work and have been a car Mechanic/Technician for the past thirty years.
I also made my own oil/water separator (PCV filter) so i will have to do a separate thread for that one!
It wouldn't suit those with duel batt and ABS as i modified a marine fuel water separator to accomplish a big surface area in-order to trap as much water and oil as possible without restriction of flow but i will save that for another thread and then yo all can build your own off that one!
This sight is all about sharing
