JimD Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I know this topic has been done to death on other forums, but has anyone actually inserted an EGR blanking plate on a S=Max 1.8tdci? If so have you noticed any benefits? Given the reputed benefits, I am considering doing this on my 2006 1.8tdci with 80,000 on the clock. Thanks for any feedback.

jeebowhite Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 not that I have an S-MAX, but we have the thread over on the Focus guides forum about this, and everyone compliments it. I drive a 1.6 TDCI C-MAX (closer to the SMAX than a focus I guess!) but although it was a nuisance to do, it was well worth it, improved MPG, better throttle response and generally feels smoother! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Thanks for the response. I will have a look at the Focus forum. One thing I had heard and was somewhat concerned about was that the combustion temperature rises as a result of installing the blanking plate and operating on pure air and this can apparently lead to Turbo damage? Any comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 it increases the turbo and its response, but I cant say I have heard of any detrimental effect on the turbo I use to get low boost pressure come up as an error, that was before installing the plate, since then I have had no turbo related error codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Cracknell Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Got the Error Code P2263. Attempting the EGR Valve blanking plate install this weekend to see if it helps with the problem we are experiencing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
