google it

cycles sum of the exhaust gases back into the inlet manifold to reduce emissions i think ( exhaust gas recirculator ) you can blank it off for less then a tenner but tbh you can hardly tell, it just looks better under the bonnet and might sound better

stuff n that has it nailed, but the only problem with that is you're gonna have to live with that engine management light... but assuming it's already on if the EGR valve is playing up anyway?

Don't you just block the vacuum hose and all will be fine.

where is the egr, will it make a difference on the 1.6?

That will explain it.

Tbh, it probably doesn't work as its so full up with carbon on a 15+ year old car.

On newer cars its much more advanced.

I've got a exhaust manifold for a Zetec engine with the EGR holes blanked if anyone is interested in buying it

I'll put up a proper for sale thread when I can get a few pictures of it

yeah its undo able, long as you dont cut the vacum hose coming from the egr unit and keep all the bits and dont damage or break the egr bits while removing them from the manifold

i will see if it makes a difference when . . . i can be bothered lol

thanks for that. gonna av a look for some of them blanking caps.
