Randallsfocus Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I believe there are two locations where the EGR can be blanked on the 2.0TDCi As in: there's two locations where the flange is the same. Noe somewhere between these two locations is a pressure sensor which is triggered of course when the flange further up the line is blanked, However: if the egr system is blanked as close to the exhaust as possible then the pressure wont build around the sensor location. Sadly ive not been near a 2.0TDCi to show anyone where it is though. Hi, does this help?

Number 5 where it bolts to exhaust manifold ImageUploadedByFord OC1420659867.809822.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Yes that's perfect blanked before it even reaches the cooling chamber,If blanked there at bottom left elbow in image there number 5 it shouldn't throw up any EML's Ow and use a stainless steel blanking plate otherwise it will eventually burst through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractor Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Will that work for a 1.6tdci 2010 as well or are they different? Trac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randallsfocus Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm not sure on the layout of the 1.6 tdci system. In the Ford Focus guides section Lenny has done a detailed guide on fitting a EGR blanking plate on the 1.6 engine Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Will that work for a 1.6tdci 2010 as well or are they different? Trac here's a link to the guide for blanking EGR valve on the 1.6TDCi engine, Guide is also available in PDF format on the thread: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/42915-guide-fitting-egr-blanking-plate-16tdci-engine/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 hi lenny cheers for that, yes I seen your guide and ive ordered the plate from your link what I was meaning was can I put the plate before the cooling chamber on my 1.6tdci using the same method as described earlier on the 2.0 tdci or is putting the plate after the EGR the only option on a 1.6tdci? trac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if blanking the 1.6TDCi following my guide it wont trigger an EML like the 2.0TDCi does when blanked in the same location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev62 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I fitted the blanking plate to my 2.0 a few months ago and just lived with the eml then after about a thousand miles its gone off and only makes a short appearance occasionaly. Now if I could only put that cruise control steering wheel back on and it sort itself out lol :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeer Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks for the links mate but unfortunately they don't work....I've previously followed the Haynes Manual upto the point of slackening the lower retaining bolt which I couldn't find at the time but now I have found out where it is so should now be do able. Well first on the list for this year was cleaning out the EGR Valve.....failed at he last hurdle! Managed to get as far as slackening the lower retaining bolt which is a bi*ch to get to and could not get the screw undone as its a torx screw and very difficult to get to. Would be easy if I could have got the battery and air intake pipes out but not doing that. So plan B is to get some Wynn's EGR cleaner tomorrow which you spray into the air intake. Anyone had any experience with this stuff? http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/fuel-oil-additives/wynns-diesel-egr-valve-cleaner-150ml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ive not used Wynne's EGR cleaner but i have used the Engine Flush products and highly recommend Wynne's as a company that does what it says on the tin. Why dont you blank off the EGR and be done with it or is this your plan after cleanimg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Egr cleaner is good but the smell from the exhaust after is interesting. Better off blanking the thing lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeer Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Yes I've used Wynn's before and think there products are great. I've not had any issues to date with the EGR valve so just want to give it a clean through…think I'll give the cleaner a go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
