MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes, it's easy & definitely worth doing. What year is the ST ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 how would i do this to my 58 plate 2.2 titan x sport and what would the benefits be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Your 2.2 engine is different to mine, so I can't advise, but the main benefit of blanking is that your car will love you ! :) It's the best & cheapest mod for any diesel although may illuminate the E.M.L. which you extinguish periodically with an O.B.D. 2 reader.

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 You shouldn't have any problems with the E.M.L. illuminating on a 54 plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Cook Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 The lights are being put back non tinted still deciding on angel eyes Getting a full brakes upgrade new pads and discs but dont no what male to go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 its a simple enough process to upgrade with a blank,just unbolt the EGR, pull the metal pipe back, slide in and rebolt. Charlie, it ony works on the 1.8 mk4, 2.0 and 2.2 are electrical and will throw EML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 what about the blanking plates with a small hole in the middle, apparently these can stop the eml coming on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 A blanking plate with any size hole in it is a waste of money & time spent fitting it & could make matters worse as the hole will clog up sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Agreed, if there is a hole in it, it's not worth looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crem Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I did both blanking plates,and finally took the egr off and fitted this on Saturday removing the erg and the pipe http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161364145540?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The difference is very clear to see the car along with a Bluefin Remap is awesome to drive and getting over 40 to the gallon around town. I also bought a wifi ELM and downloaded Dashcommand so can put the Eml light out driving down the road,car is driving better than ever,thinking oil cooler and De-Cat next.

Brigante Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 yup just what i thought plenty of sellers on the bay selling plates with a 10mm hole in the middle claiming it will still give all of the benefits but stop the eml coming on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The hole may well prevent the E.M.L. illuminating, but the blank is not blanking the E.G.R.V. - so it's pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
