Focus Mk1 TDDI - Hose from EGR to ?... splitted.
Yesterday i changed the cabin filter on my "new" Focus Mk1 1.8 TDDI.
Today as i drove i was missing power. It will accelerate but a bit sluggish. After oil change, some driving in town with A/C i felt the engine pulls differently. I remembered from a thread here about TDDI loosing power that a sensor could be unplugged unwantingly so i took a look. A small/thin hose running from the EGR to intercooler sensor (?not sure if that is?) was snapped/cut in two. For illustration here a picture i found online of an EGR with that hose: http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/5...mk1tddiegr.jpg Where does it ends and what does it control? Is it an easy job for a mechanic to fix it without looking for dedicated OEM hose? I had the impression the hose run very close around the top element (EGR valve?) which was hot. Could this damage the hose? There is possibility that i somehow snapped the hose while doing the polen filter or while i was trying to reach the fallen screwdriver bellow the air filter ...:? Thanks in advance. Igor |
Ok, fairly simple this. Look just above the egr valve and to the right as you look under your bonnet. You will see the maf sensor (it has 2 screws holding it to the bulk head). Underneath you will see a rubber elbow. Your pipe should just push into it.
