An EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Cooler is a heat exchanger installed in the EGR circuit. The EGR system recirculates exhaust back to the engine in order to reduce NOX (Nitrous Oxide) emissions. The cooler simply cools the exhaust gas prior to gas being reintroduced into the engine. By cooling the gas the combustion temperature is reduced and NOX also as NOX is formed at higher temperatures. Various cooler (heat exchanger) technologies are used by manufacturers, although tube and shell is the most common type used currently. Coolers will vary in size depending on the engine size and the emission standard the engine must comply with.
It is called the egr tube.
It stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation tube.
that my friend is the tube that goes from the exhaust manifold to the egr valve make...
8-10 hrs as much as 13 hrs depending on what all went wrong with it. Oil cooler should be replaced at the same time if egr cooler failed. that includes R&R of egr cooler, Oil cooler and some time to flush and refill cooling system and oil change or venting of water from cylinders.
EGR sensor ( gas temperature sensor ) is monted near the EGR valve, which is install into the EGR tube.
You have to remove the egr tube, vacuum source and two bolts. the tube can be quite difficult. Generally the DPFE sensor on Fords is the cause of an EGR problem though.
The EGR valve and electrical transducer should be replaced at the same time as they are matched. Remove EGR transducer from the air inlet duct. Disconnect vacuum supply tube from EGR transducer solenoid. Remove air inlet duct. Remove EGR tube to EGR valve screws. Remove EGR valve mounting screws. Remove EGR valve and transducer. Clean gasket surfaces. Discard old gaskets. If necessary, clean EGR passages. Loosely install EGR valve with new gaskets and finer tighten EGR tube fasteners. Tighten tube fasteners to 95 in lb, tighten EGR valve mounting screws to 200 in lb. Install air inlet duct. Connect vacuum supply tube to solenoid. Attach electrical connector to solenoid. Install EGR transducer onto air inlet duct.
Plugged egr tube or a failed egr valve.
remove turbo and intake then remove cooler from under side of intake.
EGR vavle is clogged go to "you tube" search "clean EGR "
egr, low flow problem.clean out egr and tube, of carbon.
