BIG ANDY Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 hello hope someone can help me out, i baught a focus mk2 1.8tdci sport a few months ago, 3 weeks ago i checked the timing belt on the car as it was very sluggish and found out the timing was out and egr valve was knackerd and blanked off, the person i baught the car off had abviously done a home job on the car and hadnt done it very well, the car ended up snapping valve and bending a few more, so i removed the cylinder head and sent it away to be refurbished, when i got the head back i rebuilt the engine and put everything back as it should be 100%, so the car now has a new cylinder head (refurbed) new head gasket, brand new intake manifold with egr valve, have checked everything with the computer, car starts and idles perfect, the problem is- when i put my foot down on the accelerator there is a tapping/clicking/knocking noise and the car is throwing out black and i mean black smoke/soot, as far as i am aware this is down to an overfuelling issue,, and i am wondering if one of the injectors is playing up,, p.s = can anyone out there help as i need to get it sorted asap, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Blank the EGR asap... You've paid for a new valve which most people wouldn't do... So blank it, cut down your imissions & remove 1 ticking time bomb from your car :) www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
