Had a go in a brand new 2.4 Puma a few weeks back, and the EGR cleaning cycle was almost silent. Mine on the other hand certainly makes itself heard. Never heard it whilst driving though.

Still seems to be doing its job fine, no difference to economy or performance.

that doesn't sound normal. The EGR should not be self-cleaning while the engine is running Shocked

get it checked out asap --

i thought the BAS EGR removal remap did have and EGR actuation in it at some point to stop it gunging up? Cheers

I don't think so. Mine gunked up after running the standard tune non-EGR map for 6000km despite using 2SO with every tank.

These days the landy is at the stealer so often that the EGR gets cleaned almost once a week - I always revert to OEM map before giving them the car. --

All 2.4 engines have an EGR that self-cleans after shutdown. It could be that yours is malfunctioning? --
