2014 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Santorini Black

EGR Cooler

After loads of issues with a strange squealing noise, changed throttle body, removed aux belt, all to no avail it's finally pinged up a code and a eml, it's P245a EGR coolant bank A, it will reset and, all is quiet then it pops up and the noise starts, looking into it, It seems a pig of a job to change, so anyone had it done at a garage and what was the cost? +

2014 Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis LE Auto Fuji White

This Evoque had the same problem.
There is a couple of things to check, otherwise it looks like an expensive replacement job.

I replaced my EGR valve earlier this year in my garage - awkward but not impossible and Im no spring chicken.
I put a thread on here https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic39096.html Jules

Rang my local village garage this morning; they MOT my cars and do the jobs I cant do.

They charge £50/hr labour and he says the labour for a EGR replacement on a FL2 would be around £400.

For comparison, he replaced a FL2 front wheel bearing last year , was £216 inc parts Jules

It was an estimate over the phone. Not sure if theyve done one before but he said it wasnt an easy job but said he needed to see the car to be able to quote more accurately.

I guess its better to quote high and reduce on the day.

It took me 3 days But I took my time Jules

Confirmed cooler, EGR is fine, they reckon 4-5 hours labour plus price of cooker @ around £400, could have been worse, while I was in the garage a guy was having the bad news his engine oil has swarf in it, ££££££
