Thanks for the straight forward, "no bull" video here, found it very helpful.

Good information, simple narration, and clear pictures makes for a good video.

Thank you, I looked for it for about 10 minutes and couldnt find it until by chance after a 30 minute youtube search some how landed me on your video, although I have an Escape 08 the set up is identical, when you point it it out I felt like "duh" there it is, Im getting better at it.

by the way your videos are fantastic, easy to follow, guys like me really appreciate down to earth stuff like this!!!!!cheers

Looks just like the one I have on my 2003 2.3L Ford Focus. Thank you!

Thank you. Well done. Wish more men would approach making their videos in this manner. Cheers

Loved the vid. Second one I have seen and outstanding job sir.

Thanks Craig. The fumes are definitely coming from the front of the car and being sucked in through the air scoop at the rear of the engine bay. Its amazing how manufacturers add all sorts of safety gadgets on modern cars but they cant design them in such a way that fumes cant get inside the car from the engine bay. Very poor from a health and safety point of view. Thanks for your help on this. Much appreciated

Thanks for this video how to do it. But the tool you used did not fit by my mondeo I had to use another tool that was smaller so I could place it between the bolt and the hose.

I got 2 new gaskets with my valve (Napa) brand. Make Sure you use the right one with the new valve because they are both different, different port holes, etc. Just match up the old one with the new. It took me approx. 3 hours to remove because of that right side bolt being hard to get at!! I also disconnected the throttle valve and air box for more room. And I bought some of those S shape box wrenches to install the right nut easier (I hope) going to do it today. Rather than cleaning it, Just replace it! In case you clean it only and it still might not run well. Mine was $81.00 at Napa. And I have a 2006 Focus ZX4 motor 2.0L. Of coarse I had to disconnect Both the radiator hose in front of the right bolt for more access, then you have to disconnect the small hose on the valve when replacing of coarse.

nice video , explained very calmly

Thank you very much for the information, I have found a few of your videos very useful for the duratec he engine. I like to do my own maintenance so now I have a list of engine components to work my way through checking the condition of it all including the fun swirl flaps and pcv as a prevention rather than cure. My engine has only done 80000 ish miles on a 2010 MK2 focus and with these maintenance tips I'm confident it will do this mileage again and again as it's an excellent engine.

Mate, you're doing a great job, I need to replace some burnt valves, could you please do a video about removing the cylinder head?

I keep thinking of removing EGR module altogether from my engine (I have the same as yours). I have bought a egr stub part (they are used on old Duratec/L blocks on mondeos). Apart from ECU problems, I cant seem to figure out what to do about the coolant line, if I just throw away the EGR. Where does it go, and is there anything else that depends on this line for cooling etc? Do I just plug it and forget about it?

I did this job on my 2.0 duratec powered focus, awful access, lots of swearing and scuffed knuckles I managed to get a shallow 10mm socket on a small ratchet from underneath the hard to access rear bolt. To get better access remove airbox, throttle body and get to it from the side. Be aware you lose about 2lt of coolant as you have to remove the thicker hose going to the thermostat housing, as you remove it lift it up higher than the rad and wedge it somewhere, the smaller hose going to the EGR can be left on if you only want to inspect and clean, it is hard to get off and I did split the end getting mine off, luckily there is some slack so I had to cut some off past the split when refitting. The metal gasket needs to be replaced really as it has compression seals around the exhaust and coolant ports, once it is nipped up the compression seals flatten to seal. Use carb or EGR cleaner on the internal plunger/valve assembly, make sure it can move freely and doesn't stick, there will be a lot of oily carbon in there. I took mine off, removed the electronic solenoid part held on by 4 screws, and soaked the valve overnight in cleaner, dry it thoroughly and add a little lubricating oil to the valve, I also put copper grease on the fastening bolts. It might not be the actual valve that is stuck, it may be the electronic switch part that is faulty but you cannot get this part alone, I paid £59 for a complete new EGR prices vary wildly I got quoted anything from £120 to £175 so shop around. Symptoms- mine would run until warm then cut out, restarting would be problematic, I'd have to floor the throttle and crank it eventually it would fire up, run a bit then cut out. I had no engine light so no codes, to check I just unplugged my EGR valve and it ran fine with no cutting out. I guess my EGR was sticking open, the engine will not run like that, when I unplugged it the engine ran fine but my engine light came on! I ran it like that for months, without issue before I replaced it. EGR is purely to lower emissions it does not make the engine run better and has minimal affect on mpg! In my opinion you would be better without one, look at the filth behind the throttle body where the EGR port enters the inlet manifold!

thank you! that was very helpful

Was about to give up because of the bolt behind the cooling tub being in the way could not get a grip on it. But if u did it with a 10 Mia meter n universal I guessing just need to be patient it can be done

Ok can you explain how closed egr can lead to knock and timing problems?

I did not torque bolts and exhaust gas leaked. What is the torque pounds/ft on these bolts. In your video, bolts were not torqued and no leaks. What a fantastic mechanic you are.

It is also the valve is clean?

Very useful thanks

Just out of curiosity I'm doing this job tomorrow wondering how to check for air leaks

good morning friend thanks for your videos I have a big problem I have a Ford c max 2003 1.8 petrol 120 hp I would like to change the petrol filter the dealer says it doesn't port do you have more information?🙏🏻

Right I have an issue the bolts on my egr are rounded I have the same mk3 Mondeo 2.0l duratec HE engine any ways I can clean the egr without removing it Really stuck for ideas at the moment

MY CAR IS 1/8LX PETROL WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR FOR AN HOUR THE FUEL FINDS IT HARD TO BE PUMPED THROUGH THE ENGINE BUT IF I KEEP IT ON HALF FULL I DONT GET THE PROBLEM. WHEN I DO I FIND OUT THAT IF I PUT A GALLON IN OUT OF MY CAN IT WILL START ANY IDEA. IVE CHANGED FILTER THAT WAS BLACK WITH MUCK BUT STILL THE SAME ANY IDEA

Coolant does flow through the valve body from the hose to the block. If the gasket is not in good condition or the bolts not tightened properly there may be a coolant leak from the mating surface. Ask me how I know!

On my Transit connect I noticed a cheap assed plastic coupling in the radiator hose was weeping . I removed , cleaned and inspected it and found it was full of cracks and ready to fail at any moment . Unfortunately , the coupling only comes with the compete hose assembly . $150.00 U.S. from the dealer . $75.00 online . If you have fat fingers , good luck trying to get that lower bolt out of the egr valve . Could be a lesson in futility .

Where is EGR valve located on my 2012 ford fusion sport

I think I lost almost 2 litres of coolant when i removed the EGR valve. It just dripped endlessly from the small hose for a long time and i couldn't remove the hose from EGR valve immediately (awful location and very easy to damage some cables etc). Anyway, some hours of wrestling and the job is properly done.

Good video I know where the erg is now. But can you spray it with some cleaner? And must you spray it where it is attached on the engine? And if so what cleaner spray I can use?

Thank you for all your helpful videos on this Mondeo. I have a 2003 Mondeo with this same duratec engine. I have a question you might be able to answer, sometimes when the engine is warm it won't start without giving it a little gas. I also noticed that the throttle percentage never goes bellow 18% and it doesn't go above 80,4%, is this normal? Engine seems to run just fine though, but I never owned a Ford, so I can't really compare. Obd once gave a p0400 fault code but that never returned after deleting. Could this all be related to the egr?

My car is in for rough idle low rpm vibration. They checked mounts and cleaned the throttle body and mass air flow. They are now "guessing" it might be the EGR. It will take them an hour to check it so they are recommending I just replace it. $425can tax in. Is this a logical reach and solution to a slight vibration? 🤔

I'm going to to this tomorrow

nice job!! is it the same thing to do with ford focus 1.8 tdci ? thank you

Thanks for this video! Is your ratchet wrench set a Kamasa Tools set from 80's, in green metal box?

Hi Craig, I've a 2007 ford focus 1.8 petrol with the duratec engine, how do i know its a duratec HE, in all my details it shows its a focus style flexifuel 125ps model or does it make any difference, also are the 1.8 and 2.0 litre engine manifolds interchangeable cheers

No video on how to delete it?

Hi Great videos btw. Clear and easy to follow. Can I blank off this valve but leave it wired in?

When replacing the EGR with a new one, which way does the new EGR gasket go on as one side has a slightly raised lip on it.

Please, I need to clean egr on the monde and I do not understand you because I can not speak English. Do I have to drain water with coolers?

hi there my car ford mondeo 2002 vtec needing to know where my EGR is located as it is not where yours is in this video

I have Ford Focus 2007 model running on petrol and check engine lights have been a problem for a while now and it says EGR system flow fault, it might take more time and cost to order a new EGR and replace so I am planning on deleting or blocking the EGR but still unsure about it. do you recommend of using blocker plate for the solution?

Hi Craig, I'm confused wondered if you would know, I'm sure you will, I have a mark 3 mondeo petrol, recently on start up the engine flies to over 3000 revs, the throttle cable is not stuck, can't check for vacume leaks, replaced the throttle position sensor, cleaned out idle air control valve, not looked a egr vale yet, any suggestions?

Craig, I am a total novice, and can't afford to pay someone to fit my new egr valve on my MK3 Mondeo 2.0 Petrol (2003). So have tried doing it myself, but I cannot for the life of me get at the lower right hand bolt! I am wondering if the extension bar that I have is too fat for the job? The one you are using here in your great video appears to be quite a bit thinner, am I just being daft or does this sound plausible? I have a standard set by Draper, what would be the correct name of the part I need please? I could do it if it were not for this one bolt! Many thanks. Mark.

So is that tiny hose connected to the EGR the coolant hose? Or do you mean the big hose running next to it?

Is this a gasoline engine?

Will a bad EGR result in a "check engine light" of some sort?

Hi if you undo the four screws on top of the egr valve will that give you access to the inside so i could squirt some egr valve cleaner inside ?

Why is there a coolant hose connected to the ERG valve? What on the valve needs cooling? And there's no coolant return hose?

Hi Craig. Could a faulty or blocked EGR valve cause fumes to leak in to the engine bay? The reason I ask is that fumes are getting sucked inside the cabin of my petrol Mazda 2 and causing me to become dizzy. 2 separate mechanics have checked car and said there's no problem but I have been monitoring the issue closely for an extended period and there are definitely fumes getting inside cabin. I have had this problem on several other cars and no one can ever find the cause(or even acknowledge that there's a problem in the first place) any ideas, suggestions?

Question can you remove on top of the erg the four screws and than clean it ???

Hi craig My question is i replaced my egr for a new one after i did the job i set off the faultcode.. when i go for a ride the fault code pops up...so i read the obd end i see its the egr valve over end over again it will popd up back

do you have any experience with an egr blank kit?

Why the need to diconect the battery termination ?

HELLO. IS THIS THE SAME AS A FORD FIESTA ST 150

The egr systems on engines are really horrible. Engines were intended to run with fresh air, fuel and in the case of petrols, spark also. None of the exhaust recirculation shit.

Does coolant go true there

Whrs the iac valve in this engine

That motor doesn't look like the one I have

Oceana

Hummm… similar but much different on the American model… battery and airbox are reversed

Il

You shouldnt have reused the gasket on the EGR valve, poor practice and can cause futher problems.

lol. You did it in a 6min video... project took me 11hours. 'Course, I had to flush the radiator, buy new r fluid and MAF cleaner while they were taken apart..., and pull a salvaged sensor. Let me just say that I don't like EGR valves anymore. Taking the radiator hose off doesn't help all that much, because the socket for the hose still blocks the bolts pretty completely. I used a "box" wrench with a 90 degree bend in it (available at harber freight) to get them broke loose- only after I removed all of the wiring including the ECU wiring. NOT WORTH IT!!! Throw the car away and buy a scooter.

Fuck youtube too much ads..try ti watch important stuff..keep popping one othe one ads
