I personally have no clue where it is or if its in one of them above, just tying to help!

G'luck!

Can't work it out from pics sorry mate, follow the intercooler pipe to turbo and it should be near there

No idea where too look.

The EGR is attached directly to the Inlet Manifold.

It's under here i believe.

This is what you're looking for-

Look for this unit as this is the EGR cooler and is attached to the EGR where the blue ring is.

Thanks for the help. May just leave it as it seems a big job to remove it.

It does appear to be a bit of a faff but the EGR is only held on with a cable connector, 2 bolts to the cooler and a single pipe.

Alternatively try running through some BG244 additive, very good at engine cleaning.

If its the puegeot engine remove the scuttle panel and at the rear right hand side you will see the egr stainless steel pipe going to it can be a bit fiddly to unbolt but should take no longer than ten minutes

Has anyone got a picture of the EGR unit and connections at all? I've fitted a plate on my 10 reg with 15000 miles a day after it was serviced and the oil is filthy black two weeks later. The car doesn't seem to be doing much different from when I was driving it without the plate.

is there somewhere else I can put the plate at all? It is currently under the flange you can see at the end of the pipe going to the back of the engine.

I have a 2007 2.0 tdci and the egr is at the back of the engine near the top on the right hand side in Front of the bulk head, you can trace the metal pipe from the inlet manifold at the front.

disconect live from battery and protect.

Locate and remove egr coolant pipe from egr cooler a small Spring clip for easier access  you may lose a tiny bit of coolant

Remove clip mount in middle of long pipe  mounted on top of the engine 

Removing appears to be easy  unscrew torques from pipe that goes into the inlet manifold then  undo 2 bolts 10 mm socket required which secure long pipe.

Remove 2 more bolts on the back top of egr valve 8 mm.

then undo 2 10 mm bolts that secure it to the egr cooler 

 Then this is where the problem started for me  I find there was a Allen key bolt underneath the egr valve  which is mega awkward to get to  in the end I gave up 

 Not very happy 

 Don't know why there was a bowl under their security  it already seems very secure 

 Hopefully on yours it doesn't have that 

if you go on YouTube type in Ford Focus 2.0 tdci egr valve cleaning it is The third one down  it's a good video but does not say about the Allen bolt 

 I think it may be a pug  or Volvo  which is the same unit

 

 

i would think after 5 yrs he may just have given up on that idea.lol

The NecroPoster strikes again!!! Mwahahahahaaaaaaa!!😨😨😨😨

Though he did post a helpful rundown of the steps involved...
