Description
Thanks for looking.
This is made from 1.5mm thick Stainless Steel. It has been rumbled to make it smooth and give it an abraded surface that also helps give a better seal, plus removes all sharp edges.
It gives a cleaner pick up at lower revs because it stops exhaust gas being recycled. If the EGR valve is playing up, then the improvement can be quit dramatic on these engines. Should not put the engine management light on (never had one reported to me), so no hole needed which is why I don't list one.
Slotted to make it easier to fit, just loosen the 2 bolts, slip in the plate between the inlet manifold and the gasket, then tighten up the bolts. All pipes, and the electrical plug if it has it are left in place. Can also be fitted the exhaust manifold end (if it does not have the ring clip joint that some have), but the bolts may be rusted.
This fits the Euro3 vacuum operated EGR valve type pictured above only in the:
Ford Connect 1.8 TDDi TDCi 2002 on. Note that the Euro 4 come out in 2005, but some Euro 3 were still sold as late as early 2007
Ford Focus MK1 1.8 TDDi TDCi 1998- 2005
Ford Mondeo MK2, MK3 1996-2006
Benefits of blocking EGR
1. Cleaner engine oil helping to give longer engine life.
2. Turbo spooling up quicker, and at lower revs
3. Prevents soot build up in intake manifold, and valve's, which will lower the power
4. Smoother drive and quit often better economy
5. Help to pass the MOT, as black smoke output is tested for
