ford focus egr help!!
Discussion
Hello
I have bought a 1.6 tdci focus and within 50 miles the eml came on. I handed it in to a local garage for diagnosis and they told me the fault was the egr and needed replaced. Was going to cost £400 so i figured i could save some cash and sort it myself.
I phoned the seller of the car and he said a friend looked at it but could not fault it.so i ordered a new egr from my local factors and it doesnt fit correctly ,i had started stripping the old one out only to find it was blocked off!! Now i find out that a new egr will need to go to ford to be programmed at a cost of £65 + vat. The questions are...i dont really want to drive it with the eml coming on and off so is there a cheaper way to programme the egr or do i have to bite the bullet and get ripped off by ford. thanks gordon
