I'm Ready To Beg, Plead And Borrow (Notice Not Steal)!

Good morning all!

I had an issue the week having bought a Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Ghia Estate on a 54 plate. The issue was that under zero stress (driving lightly) there seemed to be no issue however putting the foot down to go into 5th from 4th up flashed the coil light and EGM light. Loss of power, would drive but no turbo.

I looked on the forums here and found that it could be something to do with the EGR valve as they get mucky. So I set to work on cleaning it up. Having unbolted the valve housing I was surprised to find a holeLESS blanking plate fitted. Not wanting to jump to conclusions cleaned the valve up and replaced it onto the motor.

Took it for a testdrive yesterday and slowing down for a roundabout I get a little shudder, the coil light comes on BUT I 'm not losing the turbo. (i.e. the car runs fine but for the flashing coil light. Turn off the engine then turn it on again and everything is back to normal.

I was hoping that someone local (Kirkcaldy, Fife) or even national would give me a lend of an OBDII reader for free (I'm really skint until the end of the month) so I can narrow down where I need to look next.

Thanks,

Thom
