Well i know its a few years down the line but this was very helpful and i managed to change mine in about 4 hours outside the house 😁

Allen I love the way u explained what u are doing u make these jobs easy to do and understand so us guts can save money by not going to the garage just great stuff to watch Phil in stoke

Brilliant video Alan 👍 you have a knack for making seemingly massive and daunting jobs actually small and easily manageable for us self taught mechanic's. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👏👏👏👏

Could watch your videos all day, beats the crap out of normal tv

Thank you! Excellent video. Just saved me £600 labour at the garage. The part from Ford was £360 inc VAT currently.

And another great video and a great start to Friday with the beautiful Miss M

Thanks for a very informative video. Followed it to remove my EGR valve. Thank you. I am in Australia and am bewildered that it costs 250 pound to get this part in Australia is over $1500AU that's about 750 pound. I feel extremely ripped off right now. Great car till something goes wrong. It get expensive. Real fast

I’ve never left a comment on any Internet video, but I must say Allan as I own a Mondeo Taxi , your mustard , I have attempted many jobs, only because of the result of your videos,, note to everyone check the videos before you change the EGR valve and find the Thermostat housing is cracked 😂😂 Do a pressure test, keep it up Allan you crazy cat👋

Morning Alan 😄 Love watching your fixing videos 👍🏻 Have a nice weekend and looking forward to seeing the next Mondingo Mk5 video Cheers Stevie 😎

Nice one Alan - my coolant is dropping most days so I came to the expert to see how to change the valve. Cheers.

Saved me a bomb on my 2019 Citroen dispatch thank you!

Legend Alan - thanks so much for making that video. I was one of those pests asking you to video the process after your last EGR video. Really appreciate it, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to tackle this sooner or later, makes it much easier having seen it done!

Very well filmed and narrated, was well worth the early rise out of bed.

Unbelievble helpful Video, never worked on an Duratorq before and was able to remove the damn Thing in ~20mins. Really appruciate it 🎉

Great video Alan. Loved the full explanations and camera work. Keep the videos coming.

This video has helped me out cheers for taking time out to do this

thank you! Simple instructions and helped save a fortune.

Thanks Alan. With the help of your videos, I was able to remove my EGR valve on opel Grandland X. maybe my advice will help someone: I used a liquid wrench to remove the vacuum tube and cooling tubes at the junction. I think another liquid will do, which makes it easier to unscrew. a few puffs and everything came off without any problems.

Great work! Please post more often your work 👍

Love your work Alan. Fantastic informative vids and very entertaining. Here's to 100k subs!

Great video! It’ll probably save a few people some ££££👍 If I had a mondeo, I’d go and change my egr valve right now thanks to this video!😂

Freaking hell! On my 2.0 tdci mk 2.5 focus this is easier :)) I've deleted the egr though because it was causing problems. Great video Alan!

Glad to see you're were careful with the wiring and connectors. :-)

Great video Alan. Thanks

Glad I've still got my simple EGR valved MK3 Mondeo without DPF.

Brilliant as ever the best on line

You are a good Mecanic mate

Thx did help with work on Peugeot boxer 2016+ dw10fud engine.

Pure insanity !! I'll just hold on to my daily driver 68 Dodge Charger, thankyou all the same.

Nice. Shall be coming back to watch this when the time comes to tackle one of these. 👍

Another brilliant video to watch.having a focus st tdci will be good to know if I ever do one of these!

Thank you so mutch !!!!!! i come from Denmark and i just replaced that shitty Egr Cooler... it had broken at the exact same place as yours ... crappy design ! !thanks !!

Sei molto spiritoso, bravo e puntiglioso ...grazie se vengo in Germania passo a trovarti con la mia vecchia mondeo td sw 200 cv. Ciao

TAHANKIOU ALAN

The EGR cooler casing is crap on the Insignia aswell, if you are losing coolant, there is a 95% chance it is cracked 👍

I have the x-type jaguar, with we know is 30% Mondeo and I'm constantly tinkering and cleaning the EGR , but is so much easier in the older Mondeos , its like the over complicated to stop the garden mechanic

God modern cars are an absolute nightmare!

Great video, I've got a 2019 peugeot boxer 2.0 hdi. It's leaking around the plastic bit of the egr cooler...might give it a go myself, engine on these Boxers is really low down for some reason ..

Tell Monica cheer up!!!

Great explanation, thank you!

Still not as bad as my Mk4 Mondeo, I had to take to inlet manifold off, incl removing all the HP fuel pipes to the injectors! Worth doing though, the EGR was fine but the manifold and head ports were 50% blocked with crud.

Thank you. It helped me.

Dunno if you will see this but would be a great help if you could answer a question for me please Alan.. would a cracked EGR cooler possibly make the coolant turn black? I’ve flushed my mk5 out about 30 times and put cleaning solutions through it but it’s still turned black. Had the car nearly a year now so been driving round in it fine no over heating etc. but just recently it over heated so I got the water pump changed and cambelt at the garage. When I collected the car there was a leak and he found there was a crack in the EGR cooler which is why my coolant kept disappearing without leaving any signs of a leak. Definitely not a blown head gasket as there no water in the engine or white smoke etc. Just trying to get to the bottom of the coolant turning black. Would highly appreciate your reply. Thanks

I replaced the EGT on a skoda fabia mk1 this past weekend. It had 3 crush gaskets on each mating surface, Clearly that must be 3 times better than one.. LOL.

06:40 👍🏽

Hello, I am from Poland, I have a Peugeot 508RXH with DW10FC AHW. For some time there has been no idle work as I turn on the air conditioning until it is ok. OBD there is no error with the voltage to the sensors is ok. Sorry for the errors, the translator explains that.

Well done great video 😀😀

P2000 code, no oil level raise but rough idle and now while speeding as well feeling a little rough, Just had mine replaced, lets hope it helps but what a terrible thing on these cars

Hello, I am from Polish, I have a car peuge 508RXH with DW10FC AHW. For some time there has been no idling work as I turn on the air conditioning until it is ok. OBD there is no error with the voltage to the sensors is ok.

Also this video is the same for 2015 Focus ST3 185hp

Amazing video. Thnks

Thank you🎉

great vid helped me no end a big thanks hardly any vids on this Engine.

Thank you Alan for all your videos. I want to ask you something. My 2016 MK5 2.0 diesel 180ops got the EGR valve replaced in 2020 at 80k miles. Today, four years later and odometer shows 160k miles I got the same error again P042E valve stuck open. Do you know if there’s any other solution to this EGR or I need to replace it again?

Hello Monica :-) Great video Alan :-)

Need help keep Getting P1102 and I've tried 2 maf sensors

Greetings from Germany .. Thank you for your videos they have helped me alot! I also changed the egr on my Kuga and now I am getting the P0170 Fuel trim bank 1 error code.. have you ever seen that code on a diesel ?

Hi Alan. After following this guide with a genuine Ford part I have P1102, and 2 codes relating to my dpf which were there before. Have you ever experienced it before? If there a plug I could have forgotten, or a pipe I haven’t connected back up properly? Also have heavy black smoke on acceleration which I didn’t have before

How to sum this vid up with a sentence. DW10 and Panther EGR valves are a pain in the arse to remove and fit.

Hi Alan . Could a stuck egr valve make the car shake when idling? I have seen your video about the bad flywheel but my mk5 being only 93 k miles I d say it s not that.

13:12 👍🏽

Hello Alan, does the transmission box have a joint? The water leaks out there, can you help me with a video? Thank you very much and greetings.

Hi Allan, I replaced my EGR with this video, no more leaking now! THANKYOU, but the engine light is on and my active start won’t work now. I took the battery terminals off to try and reset the car but still not working, any suggestions?

Hi, Alan do you have a video changing egr valve on Mondeo mk4 2 l disel 2012 ? Thank you

Hello thanks for the videos! Do you know where is the intake air temperature sensor is in this motor? You disconnected the map sensor but I'm looking for the iat sensor for my ford kuga... Thanks

hi alan, what causes it to crack? you never said

Vehicle details of age milage and any other relevant information would be great.... As to give an Idea of when such issues could occur or could a 3 year old 60k car suffer from the problems you come across

Thanks Alan. How long do you think it will take for cheaper after market components to be available? Just searched eBay and nothing as yet.

Hello. What do you personally think about the mechanical blocking of the egr valve? And if you agree with that, where is the best place to block the valve? On the pipe between the big and small part of the egr valve? Thank you.

Thank you.

How about blanking off kits for EGRs? I wonder how many are running about with those fitted? Mines a Mk4 and Im getting the yellow engine warning lamp on from time to time now and some times the Engine Malfunction with Limp mode happens as well. Im thinking its time for EGR. Its on 100K and about 2000 L of bio diesel has been through it to. Self made high quality bio.

The question is, why is the engine out of the car ?

Alan, Please help. I’ve get an P1102 error in my Focus mk3.5 2.0TDCi DW10F engine. Maf sensor replaced, still the same. Map sensor replaced too, no changes. Replaced also egr valve (Ford regenerated one with 2 years warranty), wow, that hurts… And still no changes. What I’ve noticed - my car has a lower air flow and lower air pressure - for example, car with no problems maf shows 160g/s on 4th gear and pedal to the floor. Mine shows only 130g/s. And map from „healthy” car shows 2.4bar at the same conditions as above. Mine shows 2.27bar. Today I’ve checked all vacum pipes - all of them are ok, no vacum leaks. Any ideas? Inlet leak? Intercooler? I have no ideas…

Hello. I would like you to help me with a problem with Ford Kuga mk2 2017. I have a problem at about 140 160 km/h, it goes into limp mode and I think it is the problem with the egr. What do you say, could it be from the EGR? 

Wish you lived near me Alan as i am tearing my hair out even ford cant give me a straight answer to my problem. although to be fair they did not charge me for a diagnostic check.

WELL DONE :}

Thanks for a very helpful video Alan. I suspect my EGR cooler is leaking water into the exhaust gases as there is no obvious external leakage anywhere - only that the header tank level drops over 2 or 3 weeks of use). Is there any way to check this without tearing it off the engine (I have convinced myself I can smell coolant at the rear to the car when the engine is running)?

Great video 👍👍

My mark 4 2.0 tdci has a different engine appearance than the mark 4s I see on videos. It has no metal pipe going over to the front from the egr. It has various other things on the inlet at the front. I'd like to know if you have late mark 4s on the fleet with a last model engine type. Mine is an auto as well. WR13BXW.

Did you man, Vegas Dude

Hi Alan. I've got a 2010 Mk4 with the 2.0 TDCI 163BHP which needs the EGR to come out and be cleaned, so my first question is can they be cleaned? 2nd question is it vertually the same way to take it out as the one in the vid? I can see the EGR pipe that bolts onto the same place as the one you show above but being a mk4 and I haven't done one of these before, i thought i was ask the expert!!

My EGR is stll ok at 40,000 and none of the "standard oil leaks" yet, I suspect some of your videos may be due to taxi driver issues

How much time (and thus money) would a Ford garage charge for such a job? Way more than 30 minutes.. Thanks for sharing your know-how! 👊👍

Hi alan. Wondering if you could help me. I have a well looked after 2015 2.0tdci auto mondeo with about 240k on the clock. Its developed a bit of a flutter in revs when at idol after warming up a bit and will generally stall out. This can be avoided by keeping the revs up a little. Had it in for diagnostics last week and all that poped up was a few seviceables. Had a full service done but the problem continues. My gut feel is its the egr. Is there a way of testing the egr? Or do you know of anything else that could be causing this. I know its difficult without seeing the car first hand but would appreciate your advice. TIA dan

Great tutorial Alan, did the thermostat housing to cure the leak over the gearbox, towed the caravan to Skye and checked the coolant level and it was down so kept checking on the way home and did a pressure test when got back to work and egr was taking a dump so they were leaking in tandem so did this last night so hopefully that's the end of it, still can't get a DMF from LUK and the 2nd hand one off a low mileage car is beginning to rattle once that's done we're good for another 100K. Have you had any issues with the door mirror switches on the driver's door as ours fold when you press mirror select to adjust the glass aim really annoying when you want to reverse the caravan.

With coolant loss being the main issue with this particular egr can those black covers be replaced on their own? Thanks!

Hey alan, do you know if you can add an egr blank plate to mk 5 mondeo 2 ltr.

Hi,can i replace just a cooler or whole thing ?

Hi Alan Just wondering if you can sort out a small problem for me. I got a Mk5 mondeo six months ago (16 plate) which has a start/stop feature but has only worked for four days And that is only after the garage charged the battery overnight,they keep telling me that i am not doing a sufficient amount of mileage to charge the battery and therefore the start/stop would not work, so i drove from Glasgow to Edinburgh and surprize surprize this had no effect on the start/stop system. I am starting to wander if the garage, ( I don't want to mention any names or point any fingers uncle Arnold ) are just telling me anything to get rid of me

Can you delete the EGR on these with a blanking plate?

Hi alan. I have a focus st3 2.0 tdci with 57k. I do have the following codes p0490 p042e and p0401. Is my egr needs replacing?so early 57k? thanks

Where I can find your garage please ?

No wonder the EGR valve fails because all the bloody parts made by Citroen and Peugeot are the worst car manufacturers out there

Hello, I have a ford galaxy 2016 2.0tdi I changed the EGR valve with a secondhand EGR but when I tried to do relearn on the scan tool it said failed. The problem I am having now all of a sudden is the auto gearbox is suddenly playing up. Would a faulty EGR affect the transmission drive?

Hi Alan would you be able to change mine to do far from you ??

So my car has the same egr been mapped out, and now it’s leeking, is there a way to bypass it?

Where did you purchase that long trim tool Alan?

Hi Alan. please give me some good news ive got 08 1.8tdci Mondeo , its stood for 5 weeks and the battery went flat . cant jump start it the imoberliser on i put jump leads on the battery and there arent any codes when i checked. i have ignition but no starter. can i do some magic to sort it.ROB.

Damn, that EGR unit alone is more complicated than the entire Mk3 petrol engine. Thats why I don't buy modern cars. Although soon I will run out of old classic options.

Great video Alan, again.:-) One question, are all egr valves prone to cracking and leaking or is there a difference from 2015 to 2016/2017 models? Did Ford improve material on egrs? Thanx and keep the good work.
