Sold me Rav4 because of certain future plans, now I am wondering what to do? Should I rent a car for a few days or buy a small cheap (reliable) run about that I can sell quickly. Not for daily driving but to go about the weekend shift and probably one or two trips. Heart says rent, but its going to be quite expensive.· 16 replies

Question
Clark's son
Our Mitsubishi Montero sport 2007 4D56 turbo intercooler diesel has developed an EGR related problem.
When it is happening it has very low power from 1500-3500rpm and a lot of smoke and a deafening sound.
The mechanic pointed out that it stopped when the coolant sensor or the tube that went to the system was removed,
so he said that it was a defect of the coolant sensor or a sensor near the unit.
My opinion was that the EGR needed a little bit of cleaning.
This has run more than 130 000km and was used to sip normal diesel.
Noticed the fuel economy drop from about 12kmpl to 7kmpl.
Now i brought it home with a tube removed, thus bypassing the EGR
Is it good to run bypassing the EGR,
From the internet I found that it was involved mainly in reducing NOx emmisions and slightly reduce performance and economy in diesels
So as Sri lankan emmision tests only measure opacity
Am I better off without it
I hope an expert will shed some light into this problem.
