JackDG Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hi! Recently purchased an 05 mondeo 2.0 tdci, 127k on the clock with clutch/flywheel recently replaced. I have done about 500 miles and everything seems ok, however doing a motorway drive yesterday I noticed the mpg drop (from 54 to around 38 at worst, 6th gear 70mph), the exhaust was a bit smoky (not a deep black, but not exactly white), the power delivery at this speed also did not feel smooth compared to accelerating at lower speeds. Reading around here I decided to clean out the EGR valve, there was some soot build up which cleaned out easily. When doing this job however I did notice a tear on the hose which connects to the bottom of the egr valve, its a substantial tear and I think I made it worse poking around and now there is a drop in power...! either way it looks like it will cost me 20 quid for a replacement off eBay, just wondering if this could be the sole cause of my issues?? Thanks, Jack tl;dr tear in EGR hose, can this be causing smoke + power loss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
