i love fixing my own car there was some great tips in this video on not what to do and what to do. Never in a million years would i think that i have to do the drill bit thing. and great tip on the egr valve 👍
You love these nice jobs Peter , carbon , horrible stuff, but dont they create so much of the stuff, great tip about the drill bit in the glow plug hole , your getting a bit of an expert on these egr valves 👍👍
We actually wouldn’t have found only for taking the shortcut of disassembling it 😬 And the glow plugs were on the verge of snapping so yes it’s great when they work out. Thanks Mike 👍👍
My mechanic gave up on taking out no.2 & 3 glow plugs in case they snapped, I always seem to get the easy jobs 🤪 That carbon gets some hold on them. Cheers Matt 🙏
Correct Dave, one of my lads that was working on this job wanted to separate the egr valve & I said to be careful seeing the Ranger issue 2 weeks or so ago. Thinking that the other lad had bent it while re assembling it, so he left me do it. Lucky because we might have missed it being stuck. Then he didn’t want to break of 2 & 3 glow plugs so that became my job too 😬 but he did re adapt & done a drive cycle to watch it do a regeneration. This was one of those ones that could have gotten huge but happily it didn’t 😉👍
Good job 👍 seeing more and more egr valves on forklift trucks and because of the nature of the job, stop start and cold to medium temperature and being governed to much lower rpm there clogging themselves up in no time 🤦♂️
I had some job to get them out, heart in the mouth stuff for an hour or so. So when they go back in easily it makes a fellow feel happier. Thanks Chris 👍👍
I would normally do an egr reset afterwards, it just relearns the open and closed egr voltages in the engine ECU. You could get away with it if the egr is a good brand. The egr valve sticking will give you an airflow fault too 🤞🤞🤞
I cannot remember exactly, but I don’t think you do. If you do it is very easy to do so just remember to pry it up from underneath rather than lifting the motor off from the top. There could’ve around 4 hours involved in doing the glow plugs. Good luck with it 🤞🤞👍
How easy is it to take the intake manifold off? And any advice on what to use before I attempt to remove the glow plugs because I've been told there common on snapping?
You should be able to remove the intake manifold in around 1 or so. I find that if the engine is hot before disassembling that the glow plugs come out easier. So get it hot disassemble as quick as possible & use a bit of finesse and plenty easing oil. Also work them out and if the get tight run them back in & repeat as often as necessary. Good luck with it 🤞🤞🤞
Question i got a 2018 transit 3.2 just stuck a new motor in it now won't start just cranks. Got fuel 10000psi to 12000 psi on cranking and 150 rpm to 241 rpm.. not all to hip of diesels .. thinking maybe air in the fuel or glow plugs and if glow plugs how do I go on checking those thanks to who ever helps
No faults at all but I notice today when cranking the rpm goes from 150 to 250 and drops to 73 113 all quickly so im suspecting a crank sensor gonna test it tomorrow
@@nevergoodenough9604 I was thinking if it was manual to tow start it and it would see a fault if it didn’t start 🤔 I have had numerous issues with camshaft sensor failing or starting to fail & inhibit injector control. Do you have an oscilloscope?
Thanks Chimschima, the owner felt it was down on power. They stick quite often so I now check this on most Fords that come in for running or power related problems 🤔👍👍

Great stuff,
Thanks Peter.
I delighted you are watching, Cheers Rob 🙏👍
Do you think the EGR should do a re-adaption? If the PCM is monitoring current from stuck to unstuck perhaps

And then they decided to fit a 2nd one on them 🤦♂️Cheers John 👍
Good idea with the drill mate 👍
Any thing when a fella is stuck 👍
Would of been better to use a reamer or grind the cutting angle to flat in a ideal world but hey ho it's better than nothing I guess
Haa top tip that drill idea for any make and model of car requiring glow plugs. Cheers Peter once more. 👍

@@kennedysgarage3281 blooming hate glow plugs. Can go from a easy job to a now the head has to come off in seconds.
can a dodge egr vave cause missfire symtoms. i get no smoke but like a missfire when driving tick over smooth and starts ok ?
@@toppo-ducati absolutely, an engine needs oxygen in order to run correctly. And there is little or no oxygen in exhaust gas.
Well worth checking 😉
Thanks nice video,,👍
You are very welcome 🙏🙏
Hi,
do you have to reset the EGR values once youve changed over the part?
Also im having a P0104 fault for (mass air flow A Circuit intermittent
I would normally do an egr reset afterwards, it just relearns the open and closed egr voltages in the engine ECU. You could get away with it if the egr is a good brand.
The egr valve sticking will give you an airflow fault too 🤞🤞🤞
So thats a 2.2 custom.... Is the 2017 2.0 custom tdci front wheel drive the same as a mondeo?? They are quite a bit different the 2.2 and 2.0...
Hi John, I’m actually not familiar with the 2.0 engine so unfortunately couldn’t say 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Always simple common sense
There doesn’t seem to be too much of that around lately. If it isn’t in a book or on a computer, it cannot be done 😂😂😂👍
Great video thank you
Hopefully it helped you out mate 🙏🙏
Is it necessary to take the top of the EGR valve of to change the glow plugs ? I've just done a egr valve now have glow plug faults 😄
I cannot remember exactly, but I don’t think you do.
If you do it is very easy to do so just remember to pry it up from underneath rather than lifting the motor off from the top. There could’ve around 4 hours involved in doing the glow plugs. Good luck with it 🤞🤞👍
My ford transit custom EGR valve is showing stuck shut, whats was sprayed into there to free it up, please?
Any type of easing oil, I used WD40

Thanks for the help mate came out easily. Hardly any carbon build up on them compared to your one, but then again 90k for a van is nothing

The fuel pressure & engine speed seem ok. Do you have any faults be set ??
No faults at all but I notice today when cranking the rpm goes from 150 to 250 and drops to 73 113 all quickly so im suspecting a crank sensor gonna test it tomorrow
@@nevergoodenough9604 is it manual or automatic transmission?
@@kennedysgarage3281 automatic transit 350hd
@@nevergoodenough9604 I was thinking if it was manual to tow start it and it would see a fault if it didn’t start 🤔
I have had numerous issues with camshaft sensor failing or starting to fail & inhibit injector control. Do you have an oscilloscope?
What is the cost on this job? I have a 2013 custom that needs glow plugs
If the glow plugs come out easily it takes around 3 to 4 hours but if they snap it could cost thousands. All going well it should be around €300
👋
How long does take to change the glow plugs?
Thanks
The intake manifold needs to be removed and it can take around 4 hrs depending on how tight the glow plugs are. Good luck with the job 🤞🤞😉😉
Excellent video…what was the initial complaint from the customer?
