Gaz showell Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hey guys new to this site and new to ford! I have recently purchased a 2009 mondeo estate 2.2 titanium x sport, when i am driving and have the heating on i have noticed a smell of burning after about 30 minutes,when i open the bonnet it appears to be coming from the middle cap in the middle of the pic added not the little ball type on the far left. Hope you can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarlowHammer Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Egr regen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddyirishman Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I get this as well, sounds like an egr regen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I presume you mean DPF regen, as the EGR does not regenerate at all :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddyirishman Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Should there really be white smoke coming out of this area during a DPF regen or is there a fault with my car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 White smoke would suggest exhaust leak, or a liquid leaking onto hot components, for example coolant goes into the egr cooler, so if it's leaking and splashing that could cause white smoke Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddyirishman Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 It doesn't do it all the time though. This is the second time in 1000 miles or so that its happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddyirishman Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 This is what im getting. Is this normal? (hopefully the link works!) http://vid258.photobucket.com/albums/hh266/razor5049/Mobile Uploads/MOV_0159_zpsthyai9zx.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddyirishman Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Rang the Ford dealer about this and they say the smoke and smell is normal during the DPF regenerating. Seems like a silly system but they say its not a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddyirishman Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Still getting this and its starting to get very annoying. I've done a bit of research on it and there have been a lot of reports of oil weeping from the engine breather. Has anyone replaced this part yet and is it easy to get at to inspect for problems?
