EGR Blanking - Pics or laymans guide?

Featured Replies

Hey guys.

I've been using the search button but I have been unable to locate a guide to the location of the EGR so I can put this blanking plate in.

I'll need it spelt out to me. Imagine ya talking to a toddler or a complete newbie lol.

I don't know what it looks like. Where it's located. Which side the plate goes in, you get the picture.

I have the plate here with me but no knowledge and knowledge is power :(

If someone can point me in right direction to a link on how to do it or if someone has any pics and info I'll go give this a try and detail my efforts for the next chap.

Cheers :)



Hi Matt

First we will need information.

What Engine your car has. the power rating.

@Lenny Didn't you have a guide for this? I'm sure it was your guide I followed a few years back?

Other forums such as fiesta forums which have the same engine as the focus, are not as law abiding as ourselves and they even have guides showing how it's done 😦

shame on those individuals

Thanks so much, I'll hopefully be able to check if mine is road legal and make the situation right.

Atleast if you saw a guide you would know exactly where to check for it and remove if fitted.

Exactly law is the law at the end of the day. I'll hopefully get it checked soon.

Appreciate the heads up :)

Hey guys.

While me cars in bits having had to take off the old battery for replacement and airbox I thought I would check to see that my EGR value is legit but I cannot seem to find it :(

I took this video, can someone identify where it is please :msn-cry:

 

Do these have anything to do with it:

It's gonna rain and me cars in bits and those plastic things near the wipers off off lol.

indeed that is your EGR valve, if you take the fuel filter out of the bracket and tuck it away then remove the bracket itself, you will have plenty of space to get to both bolts.
