jester Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I have had the AGR valve changed on my 1.8 FocusTDCI about 3 month ago. The car was down on power and putting lots of black smoke out the back. This stopped the fault but now its back again lots of black smoke and down on power. I hope its not the AGR valve again.What I would like to know is this a common fault with the TDCI Focus. If so what can I do about it as I do not wount to spend £ 400 + again. Thanks Jester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy.B1971 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Black smoke/loss of power look for splits in the intake rubber hoses to intercooler etc . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 I had the hose's replased last year. When I had the AGR replased the car was going grate power was very good next to no smoke and good return to fuel. 50 +. But it as all gone bad again. Have been tolled there is a prob with the AGR valves on Ford TDCIs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy.B1971 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I presume you mean EGR valve buy a stainless steel blanking plate this is a must on the TDCI, I also highly recommend BG244K fuel additive,cleans your fuel lines and injectors so they spray and not squirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yes Andy I do mean the EGR valve. Where can I get the blanking plate from and will I have a prob with the MOT with it fitteted?
