EGR Valve - 97 Escort TD - Please Help - cos jon
Been suffering lack of power and a bit of black smoke on my TD escort, it was fine one minute then pulled from a junction and it was drastically slower struggeling to reach 50mph, there also doesn't seem to be any turbo surge now either but it was only minimal before, the turbo is spinning though.

Had it at a garage and they can't seem to find whats wrong with it. They mentioned cleaning out the EGR valve - where do i find this ???


Any other suggestions ??

I just done something similar on a 306 D Turbo. It might be located on the exhaust manifold.

Hope that helps.

The common advice is to disconnect the EGR by pulling off the vacuum tube and blanking it off.
A friend who runs a small independant garage tells me has done this many times on older cars.
