Jason1978 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi all, I would appreciate any help I get on this one itsdriving me nuts. I will try to be as detailed as I can I know you are allthinking it’s a faulty EGR valve but let me explain. I brought a ford Mondeo 2006my 2.0 TDCI 130BHP for themissus yesterday. As soon as we get it home the orange light starts to flashwith a small loss of power, not exactly limp home mode though!! I have had the fault codes read and the only one found by a friendlyAA man is P0406 which I know points to the EGR valve. However I have changedthe EGR valve for the one off my car (the same model) and tested it using thevacuum pipe directly from the brake servo while the old EGR valve wasconnected. So I know this works. I also fitted the old EGR valve off the newcar to my car to see if the fault occurred and it did. So I thought hay prestoproblem fixed the new car was running fine no faults no light great. NO once the car cooled down the orange light came back onagain. Reading the many forums and fantastic advice given my attention thenwent to the EGR solenoid which I tested with a multi meter and got a reading ofbetween 12-13 ohms but just in case I also swapped it for mine just to get thenew car working. After this took it for a test drive once the fault cleared (asI don’t have a reader took about 20 restarts) all was great again. Again NO once the car had cooled down the light came back onagain with again a slight loss of power. Can anybody help this is driving me crazy I don’t want totake it to a garage as I am more than capable of changing out parts if I knowwhat needs changing. Any help would be appreciated Thank you Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason1978 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi Mick, Thanks for the answer I did check the supply voltage to the EGR solenoid and was getting between 13-14 volts with the car running. Do you have any other ideas as to what it could be is this something you have experienced before? Thanks Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 This doesn't particularly help but personally, I'd have it back to where you bought it from and save the aggravation - once you start tinkering with stuff by yourself, your statutory rights go out the window. Under the Sale of Goods Act, the dealer is obliged to fix it at his own cost, given that a major fault has surfaced within 24 hours of purchase so it was sold unfit for purpose and not as described. Contact the Office of Fair Trading for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason1978 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi BigD I am not sure where I stand on this one as although it was from a trader it was sold as seen as it was a part exchange he had in? I did get the car for a good price as long as this problem is not a big one! any suggestions? Thanks Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick85 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Weird so that's ur only fault code have have u had any other work done recently or any other issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason1978 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi Mick, I only got the car yesterday so I am not aware of any other work. Other than this there does not seam to be any other issues. Do you know anybody else who is a member that might be able to help?

BigD Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I am not sure where I stand on this one as although it was from a trader it was sold as seen as it was a part exchange he had in?That doesn't matter. He can say it was "sold as seen" as much as he likes, but he cannot bypass the Sale Of Goods Act by trying to get all "wordy". You still have statutory rights no matter what the dealer says.The car is not fit for the purpose you bought it for - simple as that. You really should give the Office of Fair Trading a call tomorrow - take note of exactly what they say (which will be pretty much the above) and throw that at him if he gets funny, which, from what you've said I'm sure he will.

sparkplug1988 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Sounds like a injector has given up I had the same problem with mine. You need to get a diagnostic plugged in yo give you the code Sent from my C1905 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkplug1988 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If it come back injector 2 or whatever above max threshold that means it's past its pulse rate and needs replacing and recoding but getting a injector ain't cheap Any where between 200 and 500 just for one injector.
