Little tip: these two videos (the removal and cleaning) can apply to the volvo s40/v50 1.6d aswell. Thats what i got, and they use the same engine. Thanks for this guide, going to clean the EGR today i reckon :)
Pravin take the pipe off the air filer and spray some brake cleaner or easy start and engine will start, it will sound cranky and noisy but after a run it will settle and be okay.
Thanks for the video, I have to do this to my Focus, after the turbo pumped loads of oil through the engine! Does the ECU reset itself after you have cured the fault? BTW, I suggest using several light sources pointing at what you are videoing, it will made it a lot easier to see things inside.
if you wanna go step further you can remove and clean egr pipe and remove and clean inlet manifold...you will be amazed how much crud is in there...i really recommend doing this as your engine will breathe so much better after this
Hi I have just had a hole burn through on my v50 inlet manifold I guess EGR stuck open ordered a replacement manifold and going to clean EGR but should my engine be able to start for a few seconds without the manifold ? I kicked it over but not a peep 🙁thanks for your vids 👍
Hi Worthyo,Help!!!!!!!!! thanks for videos'i have a 2005 focus mk2 1.6tdci, i have taken the EGR valve off ( just the top bit ) i have put the top back , car will not start now , any ideas'
When l did mine, l found that the top moving part can only move one way. For it to move , l needed to rotate the 'T' bar upwards, then connect it in, something to watch out for.
Hello. I opened the top part of the Valve where the spring is. Now i have difficulty putting it back together. I don't have idea how it was. Can you help anyway.
should the valve spring back as mine is fully clean but I have to flick the valve for it to close and dose this mean my egr is totally failed? thank you
worthyo tried today m8 with wd40 and easystart it still don't spring back guessing it might need it doing again my focus won't rev over 3000rpm and still getting egr fault code
Fab vid... any idea how i test the electrical side to see if this is the problem? I have taken my egr off and cleaned it but to no avail still getting fault p042f on ford focus 1.6 tdci 2009 Thanks
