Rich Elliott Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi, We have a 2004 (04) Fiesta 1.4 TDCi (Ghia, if that makes a difference) and we appear to have some sort of leak from the engine. There is an oily residue (not sure if it's oil or diesel) collecting on the bulkhead behind the engine on the driver's side, just by the pipe which I've been informed is the EGR for the turbo. There are also some small rubber pipes leading into one just next to this pipe. There is a whistling sound when the throttle is pushed more than halfway down and the fuel consumption seems to be particularly high. A work colleague had a short drive today and told me the engine is very down on power, compared to the Fiesta diesels we had on the work fleet a couple of years back. I'm thinking there might be a pinhole in a fuel-related pipe or hose somewhere, although it's entirely possible I'm talking rubbish! Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated, as Ford require £75 plus VAT before they'll tell me what's wrong. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintalkin Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 the whistle sound is a big clue, first thing to look at would be for a split in the any of the pipes which fits onto the egr valve. if this is split the symptons would be a loss of power and poss black smoke. it could also spit out an oiley film from the pipe.

sr-performance Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hi mate the vacuum pipe that goes to the egr valve mat have a split in it? easy to replace and you can buy lenths of silicon hose from Halfords etc and just replace after cutting to size...
