MONDEO MK3 EGR VALVE PROBLem?

had a diagnostic check on my 2001 duratec mondeo petrol came up code p0400 egr exhaust gas recirculation malfunction?? do i need to replace the valve itself ? where is it located on the duratec engine? any help with this would be great car drives great though still|||If it is driving OK and not failing an MOT I would leave it alone. The EGR valve will not be on the engine but somewhere off it like low down at the front.|||the egr valves are a common problem they alway through up a fault


it should be down round the back of the engine i think on the mondeo


either pop it off and clean it out


only image i could find is of a diesle one


see below in the link





also you can buy blanking plates that cover up the egr





for a new egr you would be looking at 拢160-拢200 new|||On the duratec engine your egr solenoid is located underneath your coil pack (follow the ht leads from the plugs to locate the coil pack)As you look at the engine it is on the right hand side of the cylinder head. It is always best to replace this component then clear the fault codes using suitable diagnostic equipment, hope this helps|||Your EGR valve is fitted to your exhaust manifold,it may just need removing and cleaning
