EGR blank will it cause my MIL come on Focus 1.8 TDDi Endura

[Lilsautoford]

Hi all will a blank  off on EGR cause any MIL or similar come on, on a 2004 1.8 TDDi Endura engine?

Any advice most welcomed

i don't know, but MIL being on is not a MOT failure on a diesel car of that age (2004), in case you were worried from that aspect

Will it put car in limp mode? i.e cant go over certain revs and speeds

Not 100% sure on the older version of the engine but the updated version (1.8 TDCi) is quite happy to have the EGR blanked and now throw a strop.

 

The blanking plates are cheap (make sure it's steel and NOT aluminium) my 1.8 TDCi runs much better when blanked so I don't think you've got much to lose by giving it a try.
