Hi guys,

I think i'm going to get a blanking plate for my EGR but i'm not sure where to get one from??

I've had a quick look on Ebay but there all different sizes and are quite vague with what model its for.

If anyone could drop me a link it would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance! :D

    You need to post up stuff like fuel type (petrol or diesel) engine size etc etc

    In general you need a solid plate (ones with holes to let gasses through are a waste of time) the best plates are stainless steel, as mild steel can rust and aluminium has a lower melting point, and can melt on some engines, Diesels need EGR blanking plates more than petrol-engined cars (due to the carbon contamination from the EGR valve)

    Thanks,

    No problem atall, the guide will differ slightly when it comes to accessing the egr valve but the 1.6TDCi engine in the guide is exactly the same as the one in your fiesta, also if you go through the pages you will see reviews and comments from other 1.6TDCi fiesta owners whom have fitted following the guide and linked ebay seller,

    The blanking plate linked in the guide is stainless steel aswell top quality.

    Any questions feel free to ask.
