Thanks for a very informative video. Followed it to remove my EGR valve. Thank you. I am in Australia and am bewildered that it costs 250 pound to get this part in Australia is over $1500AU that's about 750 pound. I feel extremely ripped off right now.

Greetings from Germany .. Thank you for your videos they have helped me alot! I also changed the egr on my Kuga and now I am getting the P0170 Fuel trim bank 1 error code.. have you ever seen that code on a diesel ?

Dunno if you will see this but would be a great help if you could answer a question for me please Alan.. would a cracked EGR cooler possibly make the coolant turn black? I’ve flushed my mk5 out about 30 times and put cleaning solutions through it but it’s still turned black. Had the car nearly a year now so been driving round in it fine no over heating etc. but just recently it over heated so I got the water pump changed and cambelt at the garage. When I collected the car there was a leak and he found there was a crack in the EGR cooler which is why my coolant kept disappearing without leaving any signs of a leak. Definitely not a blown head gasket as there no water in the engine or white smoke etc. Just trying to get to the bottom of the coolant turning black. Would highly appreciate your reply. Thanks

@alan4x

hi, i am not totally sure but if your egr is cracked it is normally the plastic housing which leaks coolant down the front of the engine...the core inside the egr which the exhaust gasses pass through is inside the plastic housing surrounded by coolant... i do not recall one of these cores ever leaking exhaust gasses into the coolant but it is possible and if that was the case it would turn the coolant black but would also put compression into the cooling system which would cause overheating....those egr valves are not very reliable and if yours has done over 80k miles its on borrowed time

Hello. What do you personally think about the mechanical blocking of the egr valve? And if you agree with that, where is the best place to block the valve? On the pipe between the big and small part of the egr valve? Thank you.

The EGR cooler casing is crap on the Insignia aswell, if you are losing coolant, there is a 95% chance it is cracked 👍

Hi alan. Wondering if you could help me. I have a well looked after 2015 2.0tdci auto mondeo with about 240k on the clock. Its developed a bit of a flutter in revs when at idol after warming up a bit and will generally stall out. This can be avoided by keeping the revs up a little. Had it in for diagnostics last week and all that poped up was a few seviceables. Had a full service done but the problem continues. My gut feel is its the egr. Is there a way of testing the egr? Or do you know of anything else that could be causing this. I know its difficult without seeing the car first hand but would appreciate your advice. TIA dan

And map from „healthy” car shows 2.4bar at the same conditions as above. Mine shows 2.27bar. Today I’ve checked all vacum pipes - all of them are ok, no vacum leaks. Any ideas? Inlet leak? Intercooler? I have no ideas…

hi steve, if the egr is leaking it will run down the front of the engine and drip off the oil filter..you should see the water stains but those cars have a number of coolant leaks like the thermostat housing and water pump, also check the radiator where the end casings connect to the core..with a torch you can see through the cooling fan casing.

I have a 12 reg focus with stop start and have this issues as well It is correct that the battery charge state determins if the stop start works or not Also among quite a few other factors as well are considered for stop start to work Like cabin temp , if aircon is on, or DPF regen is due on diesel cars. You may have a weak battery if it's old or just doing short journeys and using the radio with engine off You can reset battery monitoring to see if this helps you will need to google this as not sure if its same Button press on the mondeo as the focus. on mine it didn't work until my battery failed and got a new one But over time just doing short journeys it stopped working, after a few trips on the motorway it works again
