Range Rover L322 of GREATNESS Thread: Still running cool

[Split_Pin]

EGR thermostat replaced today. 

New one on the left, O ring not included however I had replaced the old one about a month ago so swapped it over.

Goes here, right at the front of the engine:

The test is to see if you can blow through it, if yes then its stuck open.

The control was the new one, no air could pass, but I could easily blow straight through the old one. The car had been sitting for a few days as well.

Will bleed it properly and take it for a test drive tomorrow.

Is this in the era of BMW and the temperature gauge is no more than a broad range happy meter?

[Split_Pin]

Yes the guage is centralised and entirely linear from about 78c to 100 or so. Your E46 is the same.

So it goes from 'thermostat stuck open' to 'oh shit'.

This was running at 76ish and the guage was a touch below half which isn't right.

Is the gauge/sender ok?

Soon see today!
