Ford EGR problems and delete
EGR trouble on a diesel Ford shows up as rough running, smoke and limp mode, whether it's a Focus or a Transit on a building site. We diagnose the fault where it's parked and can carry out the EGR delete for £220 + VAT.

EGR delete for Ford
Soot and oil vapour build up on the EGR valve until it sticks, and vans that idle on site and stop and start all day are especially hard on them. A sticking valve brings rough idle and hesitation, and the ECU may cut power.
The locked Ford SID212 ECU on many 2018-on Transit, Transit Custom and Ranger models is unlocked off site, taking 7 days at £1,200 + VAT, and our SID212 EGR delete page has the detail. We don't clean EGR valves, so the other option is a new valve from a garage.
