Is the EGR valve on a Ford Transit?

Is the EGR valve on a Ford Transit?

No it doesn’t, all the egr does is recirculate the exhaust gases while the engine is idleing. Have a look at this transit forum for more info= http://fordtransit.org/forum/search.php?keywords=mk6+egr+valve&sid=80f6917aeb2aa77b0873dffa2a18facb Share this content via…

When to replace the EGR valve in an engine?

Answer: There is no set time as to how long it takes to replace an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve like changing the oil or spark plugs, etc. You know it needs to be replaced when the check engine light comes on coupled with a rough idle, poor acceleration, and poor gas mileage.

Why is my Ford Transit van in limp mode?

depending on the age could be the EGR valve. Was on one of mine that went into limp mode. If it’s a mk6 tranny then blank the EGR valve off, keeps your engine clean and reduces black smoke.

How does the EGR work on a Ford Transit?

Monitored the EGR valve again following startup, and the EGR remains open from startup until engine coolant temperature is exactly 38 degrees Celsius, and engine runs very lumpy during this time, until bang on 38 Celcius the EGR error reduces to 0% and the engine noise changes completely and runs smoothly.

When to clear DTCs on Ford Transit?

However, strange thing is that when I monitor EGR valve position with engine running using Forscan, it reports an error of 20-30% between commanded and actual valve position from start-up for about 5 minutes, until the engine is warm (during this period I can clear DTCs and the same P042f code returns).

What does fault code p042f-egr mean?

Except for one code, P042f – EGR valve stuck closed. I cleaned the EGR and inlet manifold. But even after cleaning (and clearing DTCs) the EGR flags up the same fault code. Van occasionally feels very low on power at low revs, to the extent that it will barely accelerate in 1st gear, until revs are up to close to 2k.

Why does my Ford Transit van not start?

And then the other day the van refused to start – it would fire, run very lumpily for a couple of seconds, cough, and then stall. It would do this repeatedly, never getting better or worse. Using Forscan I reset the EGR valve adaptations, and then the van started straight up.
