You don't need to do anything on TDDI or TDCI Euro 3 engines, and I thought you'd know that. They adjust themselves, and run better with the valve blanked off - or in my case removed completely.
Euro 4 engines need the PCM adjusting but only to stop the EML from coming on!
Yes you are probley right ford mite not give a shit but they do have to work or ford would get load of warranty repairs and after awile have know one would buying there cars because they have to pay to get there inlet ports cleaned out when servicing there car and i would'nt like to pay for that job at a dealers.
As for the euro engines if the pcm adjusts why would they bother puting a egr on. also when i went on a ford courses why would they tell me that if you blocked the egr off the pcm will adjust its self, ford need them on they dont do all that work and then say its ok to blank them off because the pcm will adjust its self.
At the end of the day mate yes it will run better but unless you like messing about with things that dont need doing then why do it i have a mondeo tdci 130 and i have'nt ceaned mine out because it runs fine and i have no problems with it so why touch it.
Also i came on there to help the lad so why go on i dont own ford just work there so why try to make me out to be bad it what i do, if i do a job i alway do the best i can because i respect people car/vans and also take pride in my work, i dont take inlets off and clean them out because they dont tell me to and if i just did it a 2 hour service that the custmer has pay for would take alot longer.
