Focus Error Code
The engine warning light came up on our 2007 Focus Zetec this morning. I did the trip button test thing and got error E196. Anyone know what is means ?

Cheers chaps. Just had a proper scan done and it looks like the EGR valve. The mechanic checked it quickly and reset the lights and they have stayed off so far. He quoted Ł150 to replace with a genuine part, so I have a few Newbie questions
Is that a good price ?
Is it a diy job I really should be doing myself ?
Will it damage anything if the light comes back on and I don't replace the valve for a few weeks ?

You can probably do it yourself if you are handy with the spanners, shouldn't be a hard job. It shouldn't cause any issues if the light comes back on, it will just use more fuel and be a bit sluggish as the engine is running in a safe mode rather than using its sensors to give peak efficiency.
