pragmatix Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Mondeo 161 It's not advisable to drive in 6th @ less than 70 mph as the DMF will suffer New one on me I use 6th from about 50ish done 151k still on original clutch DMF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 With engine revs less than 1500rpm in 6th the engine is also being laboured - fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I watch this on my dash droid, looking out for labour points and changing gear when I see it You would be surprised at how much labour the engine goes through, even when the revs seem fine, it labours long before it starts juddering...

pragmatix Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well I was lucky on my mk3 as well then never had a clutch change on that either or on my Citreon C5 both did over 170k, never let them labour or judder, don't do much town work so maybe that's the secret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 That is no doubt the '' secret '' as town driving in high gears at low engine revs is a DMF killer - but then that is not what a diesel engine was designed to do anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James0748 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 You should never have a electronic egr blanked it should be mapped out as it will harm the engine if just blanked and good mapper should know this Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Rubbish An electronically controlled EGRV on a diesel engine can be safely blanked as hundreds if not thousands of Euro 4 / 5 emissions vehicle owners are aware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 A good mapper should remove the egr yes, but a blank plate will just throw an error light all day long. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 All those owners that have blanked their diesel engined Euro 4 / 5 emissions vehicles do is read the code when the EML illuminates to ensure it pertains to the EGRV blanking, & then delete the code & subsequently the EML, on a periodic basis I agree that ideally the EGRV is mapped out, but to state that blanking an electronically controlled EGRV will damage the engine is nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James0748 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 They block up . Your blocking something that trying to be pumped through , in the long run it will damage it, I've tried it on my own car and I do a lot of mileage it soon blocked up and made the whole car run absolute crap , I personally would never block it again unless it's the old vacuum ones Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Not true A correctly blanked EGRV is blanked prior to the operating valve & the recycled exhaust gases that would have passed through the EGRV into the inlet manifold now pass through the turbo into the exhaust system, therefore it is impossible for an EGRV to '' block up '' as the exhaust gases are not in contact with the EGRV valve as misguidedly claimed above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 In many cases the EGRV '' cooler pipe '' can also be blanked at the exhaust outlet, again forcing the exhaust gases to go where they should go, & that is through the turbo & into the exhaust system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm from the photos where exactly the EGR blanking plate will go? And if the blanking plate does not have a 10mm (I have both), then does the engine management system (FORDconvers+) repeatedly warn you of the EGR error every day? Or is it something that you can live with and not notice whilst driving, and just periodically delete the error with F-Super program and the like? Thanks That is Not EGR. Thats a diaphram.

larryfo Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 One for WAPPYGIXER. Read your post of march 2015, I am trying to change my egr and manifold. I am having trouble locating the hidden bolt (5MM one). Is there any chance of you posting to photos you mentioned. I can see a 10 mm nut but no 5mm ones. Any advise? Thanks Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
