Hey up everyone,just want some advice/help, my 06 s-max 2.0tdci isn't producing very good mpg and i have noticed a bit of smoke on acceleration, had a bit of a read up on the forums and think it might be the egr valve requiring cleaning, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    If you have any tips/photos of your work this would be greatly appreciated!
