FULLY UPDATED FROM OUR ORIGINAL VIDEO THAT HS OVER 72,000 VIEWS thanks !!!
NOW WITH EXTRA COMMENTARY HELP AND EXTRA FOOTAGE.
We couldn’t find any video's or even half decent photo instructions anywhere on the internet so i decided to do the research and tackle it myself.
It also sounds like I said TX Ranger but it’s definitely PX haha.
So here is the Australian Ford Ranger “PX” MK1 EGR Blanking Plate Block off installation video I made to help out fellow TH-camrs. I use TH-cam a lot so thought I’d pay some back.
- suits Ford Ranger & Mazda BT50 B32 PUMA TDCi 3.2L and 2.2L 2011-ON. MK1 Australian Version but also will be useful for most EGR systems.
EGR valve replacement
Ford Ranger EGR valve replacement
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve recirculates a portion of the exhaust gas that would normally just go through your Ford Ranger’s exhaust system, it mixes the exhaust gases in with the freshly made air inside the intake manifold just before the main inlet on top of your engine. These gases are then burned off in the normal combustion process.
Reducing the volume of emissions going through an exhaust system does lengthen the life of the catalytic converter and helps the environment.
Most modern vehicles have an EGR valve.
ISSUES:
The PX Ford Rangers EGR valve can fail once it is full of gunk and/or the valve gets stuck open. When this happens the EGR valve will need to be replaced which is not cheap.
Its also an electric motor activated EGR valve so there could be an issue with the wiring.
When the EGR valve fails, the Ford Ranger’s check engine warning light will usually illuminate on the dash and the vehicle may run rough because the engine may run lean or rich, depending on why the valve has failed.
Q. What is an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve?
A. The EGR valve controls a passageway between the intake and exhaust manifolds. When the EGR valve opens, exhaust gasses flow from the exhaust manifold through the valve and into the intake manifold, keeping NOx emissions within state limits.
Q. Why block off the EGR supply port?
A. To keep your intake and engine CLEAN & PERFORMANCE HIGH
A. These hot, oxygen-depleted, exhaust gases displace (dilute) the cooler incoming oxygen-rich air and has a quenching effect on combustion and combustion temperatures. This reduces engine performance and raises intake air temperatures dramatically.
Q. What are the benefits of blocking the EGR passageway?
A. Many.
1) Cooler intake air temps.
2) More performance.
3) Less engine oil contamination.
4) Cleaner engine oil means increased engine life.
5) Cooler exhaust temps.
6) No Soot in intake which keeps vacuum / boost lines clean
Q. What are the negatives of blocking the EGR passageway?
A. Not Much

What a great descriptive video! u have saved me putting the backing plate back in the glove box
Haha great to hear and thanks heaps for the support :)
Do you need any mods to the ECU or map or MAF? Are there not instance's when the EGR would be commanded open and the ECU would expect a different reading at the MAP than it is getting?
Nah doesn’t seem to matter on this model but the PX2 ranger need a small hole in the plate or you’ll get error code so there must be an additional sensor on the newer models to detect flow
I notice the blanking plate kits come with x2 plates ,one looks different to the one you fitted, is that other plate for anything important ?
Ja, das würde mich auch interessieren. Muss die 2. Platte auch verbaut werden ?
Great video, thanks for going to the trouble of putting it up. I've just bought a very low mileage 2016 Ford Ranger (37000km) with the 5 cylinder diesel and am a bit worried about what the EGR cooler might do at some time in the future. We go to remote areas so reliability is very important. It's still under warranty so I can't mess with it yet. Does running with the EGR cooler completely bypassed have any effect on the engine over the long term. And can I ask where you got that blanking part from, it looked properly made and even had a part number.
Thanks Pete, as it’s only passing through the EGR valve bypassing the cooling shouldn’t affect anything negatively, I’m thinking it will benefit engine cooling as your not trying to cool down hot exhaust. The dealer will never spot an EGR blank (I’ve had an engine replaced due to faulty injector and they never noticed). Bypass going the cooling may need reconnecting though at every service unless you can get it serviced somewhere else (warranty usually states you can get it serviced by any mechanic it’s only the warranty repairs that require a dealer). Was a few years ago now, I’ve put the video on my new channel.
I just got it from eBay, they are all the same just get cheapest stainless steel one :)
If you blank out the EGR Valve with the plate, do you have to do software upgrade?
Big Cheers to you mate.... This is what YT was made for....
Thanks I just got done with a normal 10mm😅firewall gave me a rash 😢this video helps alot
This was probably the most helpful vid i have ever seen on you tube..... I couldn't find a blocking plate in bloemfontein South Africa.... So i had to remove the bolt completely and make one from the oem gasket that was in there.... Worked out great..... Thanx
Brilliant Thankyou so much
Did you get any codes
Did you only blank or did you have to remap as well
I know a few things can be done EGR Cooler Bypassing and Blanking both sides. Like this video blanking one side is it enough? I know the other side is much harder.
I'd like to know too
If you block one side then exhaust side doesn’t matter because exhaust gases not gona come into your engine anymore. Unless your egr cooler is leaking gases
Thanks heaps, very detailed video & very little info on these models else where. Well done!
You’re a bloody legend mate thanks heaps for being my first ever supporter 🙌🏻🥳. If your ever in SA a beers on me.
Why not just take the cam off the end of the egr motor so valve stays closed all the time
😮 this could work. Someone should try it
Don't you have a motor fault that appears when you do this? should it be done electronically in the ECU?
Not with PX1 ranger
Installed my blanking plate last night, this video is the only reason I knew I could tackle the job thank you kind sir, roughly 40min job, mainly because it took me +30 mins to loosen the bolts, those suckers are hard to get to. My truck feels like it is driving better straight away but I have a feeling that is just a placebo.
👌🏻👌🏻 awesome thanks!! It will definitely run with cleaner intake air and better for sure it’s not a placebo 🤩🤩🤩
It’s been 3 months, how’s your fuel economy and power been since?
@@Robdutton91 honestly my consumption has been pretty heavy lately, I did take off my back box on exhaust and open up the gasket in the middle of the exhaust (restrictor) and I do drive with a heavy foot which is most likely the cause of my increased consumption, the van drives very well though
If you get your ranger tuned you can get it turned off with there tune so the egr will not open
If the egr is dirty it won't shut fully, so this is still a good thing to do just incase
True that’s if you want a tune, usually at least $300 just for the egr or a $1200 or more job for an ecu edit though compared to a $5 plate.
Simply awesome!!!!
Thanks.
Hi. Could you just remove the pipe completely and blank off each end with the plates?
Hi I like the video but is there anyway of showing how to get to the second (top) bolt?
I get to this stage then can’t get onto it at all
Thanks
It’s a bit tricky & requires some persistence. Best I could do is show the angle of the ratchet Spanner that you can hook onto it with. Couldn’t actually get into there and film it unfortunately.
Thank you s much dude ,,,I'm gona have a crack,,,looks bloody annoying to do 🤣🤦♂️
Great vid. I realise it's a while since you did this but hopefully you can answer my query.
Would it have been easier if the rachet spanner was the flexible head variety?
Hey Greg, possibly yes but may also it may hinder getting it onto the nut as the end moves and you and get to this bit with your hand. I did find the normal ratchet Spanner is definitely necessary over a fixed Spanner though.
Thanks for the video, I tried to fit it on top thinking that was where it went 🤦
I bought the 2 part set locally for ZAR 200 and thought it was a quick install on top since it looked identical and that the bottom much thicker square plate was the difficult one.
Didn't even think to grab a ratchet spanner!
Oooh yes it does look like the same fit on top it’s quite deceiving !!
Do you have to remap?
This is applicable for ford ranger 2.2 2015 model. Thanks in advance
Brilliant video mate, thanks for sharing that. I've got an electronic egr delete, but i reckon this is the way to go. I also want to redirect the coolant lines due to the egr cooler failures which destroy motors.
Thanks bud, the PX Ranger is an electronic motor driven EGR so you should be fine. Yeah I should do the coolant lines soon as well. Just a matter of disconnecting and joining them with something
@@NatesToolbox make a video of the coolant line disconnection too!!
@@NatesToolbox great video, have you made the coolant line video yet?
@@tjsnyman9793 cheers. I’m afraid not it’s been going good so have just left it for now. Might be something I’ll do soon though
@@NatesToolboxhey mate, I’d love a video of the coolant lines if you’ve done it yet!
I have heard block EGR on PX2 onwards model can cause turbo problem. so I remapping my car and electrically shut down the EGR and bypass the EGR Cooler. But in my opinion, noting is better then physically block it .
How did you go with the remap so far ?
@@NatesToolbox So far so good since 2017
@@user-us9gl2fc5p I have the 2021 PX3 can the EGR be still be turned off in the tune?
Still Fitting the exhaust manifold blanking plate would stop carbon build up around the EGR valve and also reduce the temps the EGR cooler as it would have no exhaust gases flowing into it.
So did you only block the one side? I've seen people say block both and re run the coolant lines. But this way seems much easier
Just the rear. Waste of time trying to block the front when the source is already stopped. It’s like turning the tap off (blocking plate) and then plugging the end of the hose just because 👍🏻. Apparently the cooler can possibly split mines ok but doesn’t hurt to disconnect and join together.
@@NatesToolbox if it ever does you'd just lose coolant out the exhaust then hey?
@@joelyking7661 I think it would leak over the road or potentially get sucked into the intake but I don’t think it would have enough pressure to do that (the dirty gases from egr go back up into the intake manifold that’s why you wanna block it). High chance of overheating if your not watching your temp gauge often. I don’t think it’s a huge issue.
This is going to be a hell of a shit job! 😅
😂 slightly difficult but at least you’ve got instructions now hahaha
I just remove the entire egr system and leave the egr motor on a bracket connected to the wiring harness to avoid fault codes. This method simplifies the cooling system, reduces points of failure and improved under bonnet clutter. A blanking plate needs to be fabricated for the exhaust side, i just TIG weld up the existing S/S inlet manifold egr pipe.
Haha awesome 👏🏻
You will later get egr caliberation error code. Cos the motor spins without limit stops
Please kindly explain more detail
Best... Video
Thanks man this was early TH-cam days, it’s what got me started as couldn’t find any other videos on how to do this.
Have u got a video of bypassing the coolant?
I deleted my EGR valve on my 2006 Mazda BT 50, but I had to revert back because the engine ran too cool. It was lucky to reach 60°.
😱 wow
Resist the desire to use background music. It just competes with your voice. The latter loses. The instruction was fantastic. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip. I reckon was one of my first videos but I’ve definitely deleted nearly all music now !!
Hey mate is this the same process for a 2021 px3
I have 2018 3.2 wildtrak... Will i need to do any software mods to stop it from trowing check engine lamp?
You may just need the blanking plate with hole in it I’m not 100%. Most eBay ones should say
Appreciate the effort cobba. Thanks.
Thanks for that great video
Dumb question: the kit comes with a second plate and several clamps, So this way you only need the one plate?
@casseyking1495 did you find the solution?I want to blank mine but only the one side but I am unsure...
You didn't explain how the computer will throw a code ( egr valve flow insufficient )
Not 100% sure why but yes with no hole in the PX2 version I assume it would have a flow or heat sensor. PX1 will have no codes
Can one not just block from above to make things easier?
Negative !
Hello Can you put the egr blanking plate on ranger 2017 2.2 euro 6 118 KW? You mentioned nothing about this and on the plate selling websites says that it's not for euro 6 Rangers. Regards.
Sorry I’m unfamiliar with other models
Thanks o
Legend cheers mate
Thanks bud
Brilliant thankyou
Thanks
where can i find these blanking plates for 2016 bt 50 3.2L?
I just got mine off eBay
No issues with engine check lights or anything? I’m looking to do the same to my bt50
Nah had zero issues since installation !
Is it ok, I just unplug electric socket on egr only?? Its consider egr not function or close right 😅😅
You’ll probably get an error. It’s stays open mostly too which is not what you want either
Great!
This job take me like 2 hours. I end up having to cut my spanner in half 😆
I’d believe that, it’s a pretty tricky job.
Worth it though
Just what i needed to know.great timing, thanks!!
Hi. Do I still need to clog it if the EGR was programmed off?
So the egr valve is closed anyway
Nah if it’s been remapped off all good
@@NatesToolboxI've mine mapped out do I still need the blanking plate
Thanks, any issues yet after blocking off the EGR, did you feel any performance?
Zero issues which is good. It’s mainly to keep
your engine and intake clean and performing great for as long as possible and to prevent the egr blockimg up and needing repairs. I wouldn’t say you feel any performance gains but I’m sure there is minor gain.
@NatesToolbox did u get ur mapped out then blanked off the pipe
Will this work for pxII and PXIII..?
I think PX2 needs the one with a small hole in it
Hello is it necessary to bypass the egr cooler, or is blanking the egr with the plate enough?
Optional. I haven’t. Apparently they can leak coolant but upto you :)
Do you have the dimensions of the plate?
Negative I Got it from eBay many years ago now
Hi mate great video thanks. Is this process the same for a px2 2017? And will it need go get the ecu remapped after?
👍🏻 I think you need the plate with the small hole in it and no other mods required
@@NatesToolbox Thanks for the reply, I'll look into it more cheers.
Just done mine,went from under the car i just bent a 10 spanner then weld it back at an angle . all sorted. whatsapp me if you want pictures of the spanner
Firstly great video and thanks!! I'm bit confused though I ordered a blanking plate kit for my px2 and received 2 plates, one like the one you installed and another much larger one with 3 bolt holes 🤔 no instructions, any ideas what the large one would be for?
Not familiar with PX2 other than I think you only need the plate with a small hole in it to prevent an error code
The bigger plate is for exhaust side of the EGR.

Hi
Thank you very much !
You are welcome!
will this throw a check engine light?
Nope
Did u remove the whole intake manifold?
No just loosen egr bolts
Thank you very much.
You are welcome!🤗
Will this blanking work also on 2017 everest/endeavor?
If it’s a 3.2 quite possibly. If you can locate the EGR in a similar spot then absolutely.
Good info and video mate, but i was wondering if my ranger already been running over 100k's should i clean it b4 blockiit or just block it with out washing ? Dose it matter :)
Hey thanks mate. Personally if I reckon if you haven’t got any problems at the moment I would just block it, it’s definitely not going to get any worse only better. 👌🏻
@@NatesToolbox alright thanks mate.. i get it done asap b4 too many drama coming :D
Why do we undo the 8mm bolts
Wiggle Room otherwise a gap won’t open up 😅
Excellent video. Im about to do mine this weekend. How does the car run?
Good mate, it's been 3 years and no errors/codes, can only be doing good for the engine and components.
@@NatesToolbox did you disconect the EGR plug aswell? Has it ever over heated ?
Jzx100aus thanks for asking, inserting the plate before the EGR prevents any gases from entering it at all.
This keeps the EGR “cold” including the whole intake system which allows the cooler fresh air entering the air filter to stay cool rather than be mixed with the hot EGR gases. Definitely don’t unplug the EGR motor otherwise I’m certain you’ll get error codes. It will just operate as normal but without any gases passing through it.
Yes I see, interesting.
So what would happen to all the gas in the pipe leading up to the plate from the exhaust, would that not clog up in the pipe/cooler? As it has no where to go?
Jzx100aus When blocking the EGR port you are redirecting the exhaust gases back out via the turbo, (where it was meant to go). So the gases won’t want to flow to the EGR pipe anymore as there is no flow pressure once blocked off.
Directing all gases straight to the turbo it now means has slightly more pressure turning the blades and the turbo will spool quicker. (you will feel a very marginal increase in performance and that’s a good thing). Variable Vane Turbo Charges are also OK with blanking the EGR.
EGR systems are not in place to help keep the engine from getting hot. This is a myth. The EGR is PURELY an emissions system.
This is proven from the fact that at Wide Open Throttle, when the engine would need to most cooling, the EGR system is CLOSED. Yes, the engine is producing more NOx emissions however the reduced throttle position (because of EGR blanking) means you will be using less diesel and producing less soot or particulate matter.
Why would you want to do this?
For your engine to breath cleaner air = better power delivery and to not clog up your intake system with soot which is expensive to repair
Sorry what is it good for to place that plate there??
Just bought 3,2l ranger so curious to know
Thank you
In a nutshell it will prevent oil and sludge building up in your entire intake system, pipes, intercooler and manifold. Engine Runs cleaner and better on fresh air rather than oily air. Well worth it.
@@NatesToolbox
Thank you, 2016 year still doable yes?
@@petersmrek7617 no problem. If it’s a MKII Ranger I think get the plate with small hole in it instead. MK1 Ranger just the solid plate..
Hi Ive managed to loosen the bottom bolt at the cooler to egr flange but for the life of me I cant get to the top one because the bracket that supports the two breather pipes is in the way. Did you have the same problem?
Not really mine was a 2012 and the ratchet Spanner 🔧 on the right angle worked good. Just have a look at the angle I placed the Spanner in the video it makes a huge difference.
@@NatesToolbox thanks I managed to get it done once I bought the spanner you suggested. Cheers

Thx for info it' very helpfull
Appreciated 👌🏻
Great job filming the procedure mate. Cheers
Thanks man was very early days too :)
Would you clean the valve once and for all prior to blanking or not bother?
You could but I didn’t and never had an issue but was only around 60,000k maybe. Older ones might pay but if it’s working I wouldn’t bother it can’t get any worse once blocked only better.
@@NatesToolbox Thanks mate and really appreciate the video! Cheers
Thank you very much! Job done just now watching this video - DIY.
Beauty thanks
Do you get any check engine lights after blocking it?
Hi Joel, no check engine faults at all. If you block in this spot which is before the actuating valve there shouldn’t be any reason you’d get a fault code. If you do it may already be a clogged or faulty EGR valve :)
Would like to do this. However, my Ranger has all kinds of hardware in the way, like the breathing lines, witch it seems cant be moved out of the way temporarily.How do I get past that.
If you have a PX ranger it should be the same if not unfortunately I can’t advise sorry
Hey mate, I've just done my blanking plate today and I couldn't get to the top bolt because of all the breather lines and the egr cooler coolant hose being in the way. What I did was zip tie the coolant line which was in the way, to the engine lifting point at the back of the motor. This gave me much needed room and I was able to get two hands to help position the ratchet spanner properly on the bolt head. Best of luck.
How about the engine performance?
Hi Joe, there won’t be any increase in performance however you are guaranteeing that there won’t be any decrease in power or long term issues from excessive carbon buildup in your intake that the EGR system deposits in there.
thank you.
Excelente video.
La camioneta tenía alguna falla de potencia por eso?
No wonder its easy for you guys. Youre driving position is on the wrong side.. I have a LHD car and its not possible in any way without ripping out half of the enginebay..
Great video still 😊
OOOOOH damn mate. So you would have all the steering and brakes etc on that side. That sucks sorry :/ You might be able to get your ECU remapped to prevent EGR from opening ?
@@NatesToolbox Yes its packed there :)
Its kinda the easyest way for now yes
Same situation in Argentina. We do have all steering and brakes in the middle. I would guess that the only way is from under the vehicle.
Blank your EGR then make sure to plant 50 trees
Haha, I wonder if all the extra maintenance unclogging intakes, poor intercooler & engine efficiency, replacement faulty EGR’s, blown engines due to faulty EGR coolers and so on due to these emission recirculating devices would out way the long term environmental benefits of having one. Things like a DPF & AdBlue on the other hand is definitely good for reducing emissions and they don’t affect the engine in any way.
Tree huggers should not drive cars or use grid electricity. Oh town water uses energy, so get a rainwater tank, don't throw any rubbish away cause thats bad for the environment too.
Good day , My name is Jan ,and I am from South Africa ,thank you for this lessen I find it very useful ,I would like to change my truck"s egr vale to , but needs some dimensions may be you can help me with some, please,!!

Do you have a video of how to bypass the egr coolant lines? And it is worth blocking the exhaust manifold side of the egr?
Unfortunately I have not bypassed the coolant lines yet and if you’ve installed the blocking plate that’s all you really need to do.
@@craigg6879 Great question, the blanking plate blocks off the recirculating exhaust gasses which also contain some unburnt diesel which eventually clogs up the EGR mechanism and also dirties the intake causing loss of power. The coolant portion however will function as normal as this is a separate sealed system that flows through the EGR to keep the recirculating exhaust gasses cooler for Re entry into the intake with the fresh air. By blocking off the EGR you’re only allowing fresh clean air to get into the engine. The only reason to block off the cooling portion is because some people have had a hose break which would drain all the coolant from the engine. It’s not a huge risk but one that some like to prevent. You can also just check the condition of the hose or block it off completely.
@@craigg6879 not really, there’s heaps of other things that can also fail (we’ll have failed), like intercooler pipes, intercooler, alternator pulley, no.5 injector (this actually blew the engine up from diesel saturation - no warning at all) so yeah I’ve had worse so I’ll just cross it if it ever happened. I personally don’t know anyone that it’s happened to and I don’t do off-road so can easily just pull over if engine temps start to rise.
Awesome video when to install and my bottom bolt and there a bracket holding a coolant pipe in the way making it in possible to do
Hey you don’t have to remove the bolts completely just loosen enough to get the plate in, I don’t recall any brackets in the way sorry
@Patrick Hough did you manage to loosen the bottom bolt
@@sticky0420go by bottom with smaller 10mm ratchet spanner. You need extra strength 💪 to push the spanner. Spanner is too small to push in there.

Good video, can you also help me show how to bypass the coolant around the EGR. I need to blank the EGR and bypass the coolant as there is a slow coolant leak in the EGR. Thanks in advance
Haven’t done this yet however Bypassing the cooling should just be a matter of disconnecting the hoses from the EGR and connecting them together with some small piece of pipe. Flared ends are better
Thank you for your help.
Mate you are a legend man thanks a lot for your small details you went through full of explain i just love it i will go ahead & order my blanking plate & do the same 😊😊
Cheers mate good luck 🤞🏻
I have a question
when you close the EGR
-DPF filter starts to clog more?
-The engine warning light will not appear when the EGR is closed?
My opinion would be nothing would change except for a cleaner intake which should in turn result in a cleaner DPF due to more clean air entering the intake.
You could argue that the exhaust doesn’t get to have a second round at burning off so the first round goes out the exhaust a bit dirtier but at the end of the day it’s the same exhaust and carbon deposits going through the system, The DPF should clean itself if you go for a decent drive so this is negligible, and we haven’t modified the EGR so all warning lights will still work if the EGR fails to operate, the Electronic valve that opens and closes is not part of the plate blocking and will still open and close however no exhaust gases will be recirculating past it so technically it should never clog up and jam.
I can already tell you've saved me hours of work and a lot of swearing to get that plate in. Cheers mate.
Haha cheers yep it’s a shit job without decent instructions
Thanks for the detail mate. I have a 2015 xlt 3.2 px2 . Will I need the plate with the small hole in it to avoid throwing codes
Cheers. Yeah pretty sure PX2 get the holy plate will be all sweet
From what I have seen in another video it's a 7mm hole for optimum effect 🤔

@@NatesToolbox ok thanks
great video mate but it would help if you had started off by showing which side of the car you were working from for a viewer to know where to look for thi sthing called an egr which is possibly new the them
Hey thanks heaps for your comment. I haven’t watched this for ages but I just had a quick look and it’s probably quite clear for someone willing to tackle this job that It’s from the passenger side especially with the red and blue fuel line colours present. If somebody can’t work this out or hasn’t researched which side the exhaust manifold is on they probably shouldn’t be working on engine components anyway😆. Happy tinkering !!
@@NatesToolbox Fully agree with you here! I've just ordered my blanking plate and know exactly what to do from watching this video thanks mate.
Hey ive got a 2015 ford ranger 2.2 with engine light on saying egr circuit high. Will fitting this plate fix my problem. Cheers
Not sure about that one. Generally fitting one won’t solve any faults however should prevent some
Circuit high means the line is open.
you couldent find any other videos because what you did, though it dose have merit , is totaly illegal and if done by a workshop here in australia can get that workshop into serious trouble no to mention voiding any warranty you may have on the vehical
Quite True :)
There’s so many modifications to a vehicle that are technically illegal but that’s not the reason there aren’t instructional videos 😁.
Out of warranty, the odds of getting caught breaking the law with the mod, are low to none, unless you attract the police and unlucky to get one how knows what he's looking at.
WOWSER !
