16mm is the standard size, i used some off cut that looked like 15mm when i measured it, used a tape measure tho so not that accurate, go with the 16mm
Nothing but respect for this guy! Absolutely amazing at how much info I’ve gotten just by watching your videos. Not even a Haynes manual could help as much as you did! Legend mate! 👍
You are an absolute legend! I put blanking plates in but couldn't find anything on the cooler line bypass. All your px1 videos have services me endlessly. Thanks heaps mate. Keep em coming!
Having worked on ships it is vitaly important to maintain your coolant. If you're using town water or bore water or not changing the coolant regularly you will get corrosion in the water jacket. The exhaust gas won't corrode, the coolant does, if the coolant is maintained these problems shouldn't occur but no-one changes their coolant regularly. The engine is made up of dissimilar metals that react with each other when the coolant gets tired and starts to becomes an electrolyte. Cracks may occur from expanding and contracting but corrosion won't if you look after your coolant.
This is awsome in theory, wish I had this before I did all this in situ in the car. Beware the egr valve the little tabs of the factory gasket are sharper then shark teeth, also if u think the exhaust blank is going in like shown then your dreaming. The only way to really accomplish all this with a full intake clean. Get the intake manifold out to get the best access to the back of the head. U can fully remove the egr cooler and fit the blank with a piece of stiff wire inserted through the top hole of the exhaust manifold, slide the top hole of the blank on and then slide top hole of the egr cooler on and then pull the whole lot back towards the Manifold. In sert the 2 bottom bolts to secure then reef the wire out for the top bolt. Then put all the intake gear back on. Make sure u have some small 10mm 3/8th tube sockets with universals to get at the ex manifold bolts in/out. These will come in handy throughout the intake removal as well. Also tie the bonnet up so it sits straight or 90deg as well, allows heaps of room. Ps hose from auto parts supplier in Australia is almost perfect factory replacement for bypass calibre ch1325c.
Yeah nah, no need to take the inlet manifold out to do the blanking both sides. If someone like me can do it on a gravel driveway with limited knowledge and tools, then anyone can. The trick is to take out the bolts / nuts from both sides of the EGR out at the same time. If you loosen the 13mm nut that holds the EGR to the motor, then you can do the exhaust side from under the car without undoing the exhaust manifold. The other side is the easy side. No need to take anything else out of the way to do the job.
I used an XD Falcon heater hose, it has a flared end at one end of the hose to suit heater connection at firewall and the non flared end goes to the EGR exit hose location, the particular hose is an ideal length, sorry no part no,
Thank you been looking for a video like this for ages. With the EGR to Exhaust manifold blanking plate, I found another guy who slotted the two bottom holes on the plate. Then you only have to completely remove the top centre bolt and only back off the two lower bolts, as you did with the blanking plate at the EGR valve body. Thank you again, job well done.
finally , I thank God I've found your video regarding ford ranger T6... help me a lot for DIY save me a lot of money that i cannot afford if I let the dealer or CASA do it... hope that you have to do more video regarding ford ranger...
Great video, 👍 the water line bypass number 1 looks the best. Factory. You can also just turn off the EGR valve In the software and it never opens to stop soot build up. I also read in the ranger Px3 the EGR acts as a pressure relief valve so it opens to relieve boost but stays closed so exhaust gas doesn't get sucked through when light throttle cruising.
Thanks for posting mate cheers. Just did this to my 2014 3.2L Ranger. Had driven it a long way and noticed I was topping up coolant all the time. Suspected an issue with the EGR cooler. Eventually it was going through more coolant than I could put it, litres at a time. Must have all been going out the exhaust. Also eventually noticed exhaust gases coming out the coolant tank and odours. So decided to do my own bypass before the engine overheated potentially causing serious damage, if that hasn’t occurred already. Have done the coolant line bypass, haven’t done the exhaust yet. It is now not loosing any coolant for the first time in a long time. Temp gauge is stable. So must have been the EGR cooler at fault. Very disappointed with Ford for these rubbish parts. Will be taking it in to the shop ASAP. Thanks for the tip mate cheers.
@@antonyomeara-bk9pm This is what happened. I was right the EGR cooler had failed. This is why i was loosing a lot of coolant. The engine did overheat once due to having no coolant. I was lucky to not have any permenant damage. I then cut and bypassed the egr coolant line, because i was in a remoye location. I did not blank the egr exhaust. I was able to get the ute home (300km+) and to a good mechanic. By this point the exhaust gases from the egr had burnt a hole in the intake manifold. This was noticible by a distinct lack of power. Quote from mechanic “found intake elbow and manifold both have holes burnt through”. Intake elbow and manifold was around $350 to replace. Beyond this, the mechanic replaced the EGR itself and replaced the coolant line. Unfortunately they refused to fully blank the egr. They did a compression test, no problem. Havent lost any more coolant so as far as i know the head gasket is ok. The ute is now performing very well. Looking at the info from the mechanic it doesnt say they tested or checked the head gasket. Engine oil and coolant fluid appears normal and not losing coolant.
@@bamb4911 good to hear mate, mine is at mechanics now having blanks installed, and tune, i did the bypass. I dont appear to have head gasket damage, i limped it to mechanics so shouldnt have intake issues. Hopefully back mon Tuesday.
Gracias por tu video, yo hice el by pasa directamente desde la salida de la manguera al frente del motor directo al calefactor, lo que sucedió es que se puede circular a una velocidad moderada pero por encima de los 130 km/h el motor se calienta supongo que por la falta de enfriamiento de los gases, igual fue una solución acertada y sirvió muchísimo, para seguir viajando 😉
Considering taking this fellas advice guys. My ranger blew a hole in the engine block, mechanic believes the cooler caused this. This was a 2.2L and now sitting in my backyard because it's hard to justify spending almost 10k to fix it. Oh well..new hilux is going good
Interesting.. i bought a ranger and was Unaware that previous owner done this but made a hash of it. Was getting exhaust fumes in cabin and eventually found smoke puffing from the area he tried to bypass. Watching this its obvious the previous owner tried to do a bypass without removing engine and therefore didn't do it properly. Had ford renistate egr so all good now.. Thanks for sharing
Just take the advice of AutoExpert John Kadogan and replace the EGR every 80,000km. My friend had catastrophic engine failure and Ford dealer raped him for a new engine $32,000.00!!!
if you use a dayco hose part no dmh1672 it fits on the heater core to the EGR valve .there is EGR delete from chip tuning which turns it off completely except for wastegate and no codes . cheq it out then you can leave the dead cooler ware it is and no blanking plates
I think you'll find that bypassing the EGR cooler and exhaust flow will throw up a check engine light. This is what happens on the older VW TDI engines but getting a remap sorts out the engine management system and everything is fine again.
Great video, thanks for taking the time. One issue, I’ve just had at look into my px2 engine bay, and it looks like that coolant pipe from the heater core goes round and down past the egr to some box attached to the transmission. Or at least appears to. Any ideas?
A question, but first as said by many previously, very informative. Because of the video i was able to diagnose the problem immediately. Doing the bypass tomorrow on my 2017 3.2, which incidentally is 19mm hose on mine. Can the bypass be used as a permanent solution?
Great video already bypass coolant hose directly to engine leaving egr valve and egr cooler after my px1 2013 dump coolant to exhaust side and leaving coolant ridiculously low after long run after off-roading and nearly make me stranded.. and also already blank egr valve also after freshly rebuilt top after clogged with carbon at intake site
L/H side blanking plate, 15 mins to do a manual in place but need bent spanners etc for a auto because the dipstick tube blocks access to the top bolt, R/H side takes a while as well but well worth it.
If I blank of the egr cooler on the egr valve side only that means the cooler will still have hot exhaust gas in it will this be problem when I bypass the coolant as you've done in the video.
Thank you for taking the effort of making this and the other egr related videos. Today I installed the blanking plate between the cooler and the valve and bypassed the cooler. Do you advise to block the exhaust side as well or is this sufficient? Thanks to your video about the intercooler i also replaced for an aluminium one as well, she runs better as ever before! Your videos mean the world to me! Thanks a lot!
Your vid was interesting I bypassed my egr a couple of years ago one hose on the bottom of the cooler goes to the trans cooler i believe may be wrong but I have mine circulating thru that also the egr seems to be almost impossible to replace with engine in the vehicle. Has anyone done one in vehicle
I would use the OEM hose clamp on the new hose. These clamps self tighten as the new hose shrinks (and it will shrink) unlike a worm style clamp which will require tightening down the track.
Great video. A question, whats the recomended tickness of the exhaust plate?, if the plate is too thick can cause troubles with the exhast manifold not being able to rest against the engine block?
This afternoon I followed these instructions to block the exhaust side but couldn't create a gap between the exhaust manifold and the cooler until I discovered an exhaust bracket underneath
Great vid, especially being able to see all of the bolts without the engine being in the engine bay. Got a question for you, did you need to drill a hole in the smallet plate to prevent an engine warning light? Thanks again.
Bypassing the egr cooler water coolant & blanking 1 side only (egr valve side) i think these processes possible to perform since the engine is under the hood. So what do you think? Is necessary to blanking the exhaust side?
Hi. Cool video. Once you've removed the whole egr cooler can you just leave it off? And cover the exhaust end with a plate?.. And you'd obviously have to connect the hoses up.
Hello,great video thank you. 2 questions please. Q.Can this process be made to a TRANSIT 2013 2.2 RWD . I believe they have the same engine. Q. After bypassing the EGR COOLER and blanking the EGR COOLER like you did, do i have to make a remap to avoid limp mode or they will be no error codes anymore? Thank you!
Hi thanks for the video I’m about to do this on my ranger. I was wondering if I need to blank of both side? I thought that blanking the exhaust side would be enough
I, Great vids, especially on the removed engine for clarity . I only blanked the egr valve side because the acess appears so difficult on the exhaust side ,( and by passed the cooler,) any risk in over heating the cooler with exhaust gas being ale to flow from the exhaust side? I guess its not getting any flow as the exhaust gas has no where to go so heating should be minimal .
Hey mate great video very informative I have a 2013 3.2l px1 is it possible to just remove the egr valve and cooler of the vehicle completely by blanking either side and bypass hose and will unplugging the connector on valve throw a code?
@@abdautomotive wow that was a quick response, I think ?? mine is split and leaking fluid into the motor. Sometime when I start it just clicks, when it finally fires it runs rough for 20-30 seconds from there it is fine. I am now releasing the radiator pressure cap to stop the pressure when it is standing. That seems to temporarily solve that problem. Upon looking on google there are those that say not to blank as it can cause engine damage. Do you agree and if so what king of damage can be caused. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi mate great video content but it was a couple of years ago now. We have a 2015 BT50 towing a 2.8t caravan with 190k on it. In your opinion should we do the delete or is it more of a "if it aint broke don't fix it "type of thing. Secondly if I put the one plate in at the valve end, reroute the hose, remove the hose from in the air inlet block that, is there anything else needed. For instance any computer work needed or just off we go. How does the ECU now things are working. Cheers and keep up the good work.
Hey mate, would you say the easiest way would be to just put the new hose in with the "random piping as shown, blank off the easy side that doesn't have the exhaust manifold, then intake clean, and you've fixed the egr issue of getting the intake direty and no more risk of water in the engine?
I’ve got 15mm hose and it’s not not fitting over the heater core inlet, I’ve measured it and it’s more like 20mm, but using 20mm internal diameter hose won’t work on the other end, how have you made this work with 15mm hose??
a couple of comments said it's a 16mm , i measured mine with a tape measure so i could be 1mm off, i did my car a few years ago so can't remember how it fitted up to the heatercore side, im preety sure it was straight on
Going one step further, complete egr/cooler delete...? Im guessing once that plug is disconnected from egr, it will throw a code, can this be be neutralised ? If so how??? Great video, keep em coming!!!!!
How are you boss. First I would like to say thanks so much for this educational vid. And also I have a problem similar to this. But my own is pressuring the coolant even after I have removed the coolant pipes . Now what I don't know is that, can this cooler also leak water into the engine or maybe I got a cylinder head problem
Hey mate, Really quick couple of question. Will i get and engine code or will it put the car into limp mode if i blank use both egr plates? How long can i just use the collant bypass for? Thank you
Hey mate, very informative video. Just want to ask I install blanking plates both sides. Do I need to bypass egr cooler too? Your help will be really appreciated.
@@abdautomotivehey mate, I followed the heater core hose and it skips my egr cooler but doesn’t plumb into the valve? 2017 ranger should be the same would it not?
Was this motor using a manual gearbox? I have an auto BT-50 and the hose from the bottom of my EGR valve goes to the transmission cooler, then back up to the thermostat housing.
I didn’t need to loosen the exhaust manifold bolts I had to loosen the bolt on the egr cooler that bolts it to the motor and gave me enough wiggle room
so your saying you didnt have to loosen the exhaust manifold for the first big blanking plate ? you just had to loosen the bolts to the egr cooler connecting to the exhaust manifold ?
Thanks for all this precious informations! Just a question: nothing will happen to the car electric system and the ECU? I have to do something to prevent error code or system fault after blanking the EGR? Thanks a lot
What subsequent happen to the turbo when removing the EGR system? Does it effect to life spans of the turbo charger or piston? The pressure from the exhaust no longer through the egr cooler. What do you think??
Only a small part of the exhaust goes through the EGR cooler, most exits through the turbo so only has a small effect. In fact most people report a small increase in responsiveness.
If u blank the cooler and bypass the water you must blank both sides otherwise if the cooler has a leak into exhaust system it can cause exhaust gas to escape out the removed cooler hoses that can result in a fire 🔥 bang goes your car.
Question mate if I just install the blanking plate on the install side will that be effective enough and is the by pass with the hoses 100% needed or can u get away without doing it ?
Great video Thanks for taking the time. Q. On exhaust side blank plate, doing it the way you showed, does it not create an exhaust leak?? You loosened bolts then inserted a 1-2mm blank plate. When you tighten bolts back on exhaust, they would remain slightly off tight up against engine and hence a small exhaust leak?? Just thinking thru this logically or am I missing something?? Either way, great effort, love your work
i get what your saying, when you re-tighten the 8 exhaust manifold bolts it will push the cooler over about 1.5 mm , there is 1 bolt that holds the cooler in place (time stamp 13:03) which in theory should be loosened, however i did not this this on mine and it sealed fine.
I blocked my EGR on both sides last week. And have now got a very high pitch squeal from 1.5K revs and up… (turbo sound leaking through exhaust like you mentioned) I thought I may have just minted the gasket when I prayed the manifold back. Because of how much of a c&@$ the job was, I just dumped my car at the tuners to fix, They’re under the assumption the eBay plate I bought may have been to thick. They’re going to pull them out and just close it from the tune. Mentioned it’s a gearbox out job to completely remove the cooler…. Which makes sense given how difficult it was to wedge the 2 plates in…
Love the Vid, Question I did the water bypass as shown both ways but still find water coming out of the disconnected hoses from the EGR cooler so not sure what I’m doing wrong? Ranger is a 2018 model 3.2 so not sure if it’s different to the older versions.
@@ReeceWatson-fm1me I found the same thing, spent a whole day trying to work it out then gave up and put it back to stock. Apparently the px2 is a different cooler and doesn't fail like the earlier ones. I blanked the egr at the valve and had it turned off in the ecu, also removed the inlet manifold etc and cleaned, goes real good now
great video, have a question took my ranger 2012 2.2 l diesel to mechanic to replace glow plugs once job comleted took it for a drive and engine light came on code was p042f egr closed what did he do for it to be closed ,would appreciate any advise .cheers
My son took the car back and he took the solinoid off and stated he couldent move the plunger,i cant help feeling he did something dodge as he didnt have the code before he touched it .
@@poogzie yeh common issue, i mention that in my common fault codes video, you can try spraying some brake cleaner to where the mechanical valve is too free it up, otherwise he's up for a new egr valve assembly, they get blocked with soot if you don't run a blanking plate.
so if you blanked both sides, you could leave the coolant hoses attached and it wouldnt matter if it failed cause the coolant cant make it into the engine? for a stock factory look 😇
If blanking it out then I would because if the EGR cooler starts to leak/fails internally, then the coolant will make it's way into the exhaust, as you haven't put in the blanking plate to the exhaust. I reckon it's probably much better to get an aftermarket EGR cooler such as the Goss.
It would be a hell of a job getting the EGR out when the motors in the vehicle. Not much room between the back of the motor and the firewall. Maybe the transmission would have to come out.
Can I bypass the ERC cooler and not do blanking? Why I am asking this is it's in a tough spot. I just want to see how much I need to do from the 2 blanking and bypassing.
Hi there quick question, can i remove the egr valve completely, and run the heater hose to the bottom hose on egr, and then just block off manifold and the intake at the top. Just remove the whole egr altogether.. Thanks hope to hear from you.
We have a ford ranger wildtrak px2 2017. I want to blank the egr cooler like you did on the video permanently with a hose. Will I also have to blank the egr valve as well. If I do these 2 steps will I have any overheating on the engine or will it be ok. I take full responsibility for my own actions. Just want to know If I do this will it do permanent damage or can I leave it like that Cheers MICK
Great information and video so thank you. I have a 2020 BT50 which is the last of the 3.2 motor before they went to Isuzu engine, I guess that makes it a PX3. Is the EGR the same on that model or is it different. I realise this is your vehicle but I am struggling to find out of the EGR is the same because obviously I don't want to do something wrong. Any info from anyone would be gratefully appreciated.
@@abdautomotive Ok, thank you so much for getting back to me. Do you know if the cooling hoses are the same setup. I have had a look at mine and gee it's really hard to see. I might see how I go this weekend because I really don't want this thing to fail on me. Thanks again for your help, greatly appreciated.
This vid was the best mate thanks heaps im working on my one atm Q can pick your brain on this whats the worse case scenario if i remove all the egr cooler set up behind there inc the valve etc and just by pass the hose like you said to the water pump and finally completely blank it from the exhaust?
it will throw a fault code if u unplug the EGR valve, you could zip tie it somewhere and leave it plugged in, you can remove the complete EGR cooler if you wanted to no problems & run a hose from heater core directly to water pump.
@@abdautomotive awesome mate so I've bypassed it straight from the heater core like you said bridged it up with a brass hose joiner now im assuming if i just blank it up from the exhaust and let it all sit there as it was plugged up should be fine right?
Hi. I have a 2021 ranger px3 2.2 single cab. Will doing the EGR blocking cause any check engine lights? I heard ford did some changes in the ecu and it’s still on warranty which I don’t want to void.
i'm not sure on the PX2 or PX3 , it might, on the PX1 i've had no problems with the engine light, i know that you can get a EGR cable that you plug into the mass air flow sensor for the PX2/3 , this keeps the valve electronically closed by tricking the computer , it does not activate engine light, you can remove the cable whenever taking car back to dealership as it's plug n play.
It looks like You can also get the egr cable for the px1. Any idea if you can use said cable and re rout the cooler piping? Or does this have to be done with the blanks? Cheers
@@lachlanhunter1956 you want to use blanking plates and re route the water! you DO NOT want to just trick the valve closed… because if the cooler fails, water can still enter engine and hot exhaust in the engine bay.

Great video 👍 question? You mentioned the hose was 15mm but for a Px2 others have said it’s 16mm is that correct?
16mm is the standard size, i used some off cut that looked like 15mm when i measured it, used a tape measure tho so not that accurate, go with the 16mm
I used 5/8'' ==15.88 mm(16mm)
16mm bottom . 20mm heater inlet
Definitely 19mm
When blanking permanently should U get an egr delete on its computer

L/H side blanking plate, 15 mins to do a manual in place but need bent spanners etc for a auto because the dipstick tube blocks access to the top bolt, R/H side takes a while as well but well worth it.
Best video on the process ever dude, awesome job..
If I blank of the egr cooler on the egr valve side only that means the cooler will still have hot exhaust gas in it will this be problem when I bypass the coolant as you've done in the video.
Thank you for taking the effort of making this and the other egr related videos. Today I installed the blanking plate between the cooler and the valve and bypassed the cooler. Do you advise to block the exhaust side as well or is this sufficient? Thanks to your video about the intercooler i also replaced for an aluminium one as well, she runs better as ever before! Your videos mean the world to me! Thanks a lot!
Your vid was interesting I bypassed my egr a couple of years ago one hose on the bottom of the cooler goes to the trans cooler i believe may be wrong but I have mine circulating thru that also the egr seems to be almost impossible to replace with engine in the vehicle. Has anyone done one in vehicle
I would use the OEM hose clamp on the new hose. These clamps self tighten as the new hose shrinks (and it will shrink) unlike a worm style clamp which will require tightening down the track.
Great video. A question, whats the recomended tickness of the exhaust plate?, if the plate is too thick can cause troubles with the exhast manifold not being able to rest against the engine block?
not sure, the plates come pre made already, one size
This afternoon I followed these instructions to block the exhaust side but couldn't create a gap between the exhaust manifold and the cooler until I discovered an exhaust bracket underneath
very nice video thanks, especially you have a spare engine to show which is great, but why need 2 blanking plate?
i would just recommend doing the exhaust side
Absolutely great video, thank you. I have a 2019 Ranger. If I blank off the EGR valve do I have to reprogram the vehicle computer ?
Great vid, especially being able to see all of the bolts without the engine being in the engine bay. Got a question for you, did you need to drill a hole in the smallet plate to prevent an engine warning light? Thanks again.
Bypassing the egr cooler water coolant & blanking 1 side only (egr valve side) i think these processes possible to perform since the engine is under the hood. So what do you think? Is necessary to blanking the exhaust side?
Nope as long as you blocked intake side that’s gonna block all the exhaust gases. 👍
Hi. Cool video. Once you've removed the whole egr cooler can you just leave it off? And cover the exhaust end with a plate?.. And you'd obviously have to connect the hoses up.
Hello,great video thank you.
2 questions please.
Q.Can this process be made to a TRANSIT 2013 2.2 RWD . I believe they have the same engine.
Q. After bypassing the EGR COOLER and blanking the EGR COOLER like you did, do i have to make a remap to avoid limp mode or they will be no error codes anymore?
Thank you!
Hi thanks for the video I’m about to do this on my ranger. I was wondering if I need to blank of both side? I thought that blanking the exhaust side would be enough
i just did the exhaust side on mine, 1 side would be enough
I, Great vids, especially on the removed engine for clarity . I only blanked the egr valve side because the acess appears so difficult on the exhaust side ,( and by passed the cooler,) any risk in over heating the cooler with exhaust gas being ale to flow from the exhaust side? I guess its not getting any flow as the exhaust gas has no where to go so heating should be minimal .
Very good thank you. Great to see a combination of motor on the flow and motor in the car 👍
Hey mate great video very informative I have a 2013 3.2l px1 is it possible to just remove the egr valve and cooler of the vehicle completely by blanking either side and bypass hose and will unplugging the connector on valve throw a code?
you are so good.thanks for your video.it help a lot.its very clear.subscriber here from phillipines.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do you have tutorial of new gen raptor egr blanking . Bi turbo 2.0 engine . Thanks
Awesome video thanks for taking the time to produce it. What are the pro’s and con’s of blanking it off😊
no clogging of the intake would be the best benefit
@@abdautomotive wow that was a quick response, I think ?? mine is split and leaking fluid into the motor. Sometime when I start it just clicks, when it finally fires it runs rough for 20-30 seconds from there it is fine. I am now releasing the radiator pressure cap to stop the pressure when it is standing. That seems to temporarily solve that problem. Upon looking on google there are those that say not to blank as it can cause engine damage. Do you agree and if so what king of damage can be caused. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can you add additional oil cooler to cool the engine?
Thanks for the awesome explanation ✌️
Cheers mate, awesome vid and I love your work.
Hi mate great video content but it was a couple of years ago now. We have a 2015 BT50 towing a 2.8t caravan with 190k on it. In your opinion should we do the delete or is it more of a "if it aint broke don't fix it "type of thing. Secondly if I put the one plate in at the valve end, reroute the hose, remove the hose from in the air inlet block that, is there anything else needed. For instance any computer work needed or just off we go. How does the ECU now things are working. Cheers and keep up the good work.
Can the EGR blanking plates be used on the PX3 ranger? And after fitting blanking plate does it cause any turbo surge/turbo flutter ?
Hi is there a video for the insignia whisper engine for EGR blank and removal
Hey mate, would you say the easiest way would be to just put the new hose in with the "random piping as shown, blank off the easy side that doesn't have the exhaust manifold, then intake clean, and you've fixed the egr issue of getting the intake direty and no more risk of water in the engine?
I’ve got 15mm hose and it’s not not fitting over the heater core inlet, I’ve measured it and it’s more like 20mm, but using 20mm internal diameter hose won’t work on the other end, how have you made this work with 15mm hose??
a couple of comments said it's a 16mm , i measured mine with a tape measure so i could be 1mm off, i did my car a few years ago so can't remember how it fitted up to the heatercore side, im preety sure it was straight on
I used 16mm that is perfekt. But 19mm Will also be good. 15mm Will be hell too get on;)
Someone up in the comments said it is 19mm. People fail to mention which year their model is so that makes things difficult.
Very helpful video, excellent 👏
My weekend project 😎
Thank you for this video!
When you by pass to the 2nd position is it because coolant can leak through the actual valve itself?
Going one step further, complete egr/cooler delete...? Im guessing once that plug is disconnected from egr, it will throw a code, can this be be neutralised ? If so how??? Great video, keep em coming!!!!!
Yes... turn EGR off in software to stop throwing codes.
Or you can simple plug EGR back in, it will still open but no exhaust gas will go through.
But engine light on my 2017 model 3.2 is on because thenegr valve not get flow
@@tossi8888 these instructions are ONLY for the PX1 mate
How are you boss. First I would like to say thanks so much for this educational vid. And also I have a problem similar to this. But my own is pressuring the coolant even after I have removed the coolant pipes . Now what I don't know is that, can this cooler also leak water into the engine or maybe I got a cylinder head problem
it could be your oil cooler, cylinder head would be my last resort
Just a question. If you bypass the egr cooler, would it still be worth blanking the egr?
Love this guys videos. Very informative. 😊
Hey mate,
Really quick couple of question.
Will i get and engine code or will it put the car into limp mode if i blank use both egr plates?
How long can i just use the collant bypass for? Thank you
i've covered these questions in my vids, what model ranger do you have?
Great vid, how long is it ok to run the engine with the by pass hose?
i've done around 150k now
Is there an error code after the bypass hose has been fitted mate?
Hey mate, very informative video. Just want to ask I install blanking plates both sides. Do I need to bypass egr cooler too?
Your help will be really appreciated.
i just did exhaust side, it's not a necessity to bypass it , just the first generation T6 Ranger had a very high cooler failure rate.
@@abdautomotivehey mate, I followed the heater core hose and it skips my egr cooler but doesn’t plumb into the valve? 2017 ranger should be the same would it not?
Was this motor using a manual gearbox?
I have an auto BT-50 and the hose from the bottom of my EGR valve goes to the transmission cooler, then back up to the thermostat housing.
manual
I didn’t need to loosen the exhaust manifold bolts I had to loosen the bolt on the egr cooler that bolts it to the motor and gave me enough wiggle room
yeh that would be quicker
so your saying you didnt have to loosen the exhaust manifold for the first big blanking plate ? you just had to loosen the bolts to the egr cooler connecting to the exhaust manifold ?
@@jmoore9806 I didn’t loosen the exhaust manifold at all just the bolts for the cooler to the manifold and the cooler onto the engine
@@BradJWebber oh wow ok cool....what about the other side of the egr? Did u loosen that side too ??
@@jmoore9806 no just the
Bolts on the exhaust side of the egr cooler and the bolt on the inlet side of the cooler that goes to the engine
Awesome info, mate! Thanks a bunch!
thanks, for share your experience service of ford ranger
Thanks for all this precious informations! Just a question: nothing will happen to the car electric system and the ECU? I have to do something to prevent error code or system fault after blanking the EGR? Thanks a lot
on to a T6/px1
@@abdautomotive yes sorry, it's a T6 2.2 Limited my 2016, 80000 km. It's possible without ecu problems? Thanks
@@generalleeeleven 2016 is a PX 2 so im not sure
Does the 2.0 bi turbo engine have issues that also needs bypassing?
Did you find out about this?
Just a question.. do you have to blank both sides?
What subsequent happen to the turbo when removing the EGR system? Does it effect to life spans of the turbo charger or piston? The pressure from the exhaust no longer through the egr cooler. What do you think??
Only a small part of the exhaust goes through the EGR cooler, most exits through the turbo so only has a small effect. In fact most people report a small increase in responsiveness.
Have to ask if dont do the blanking and the motor stoos but isnt seized cant it be saved if the blanking is done then?
I was just wondering if you may have forgotten to put the video on to remove the fuel filter and surrounding
Is it any harder to do if it is still in the vehicle? Not sure if you mentioned that. 🙂
If u blank the cooler and bypass the water you must blank both sides otherwise if the cooler has a leak into exhaust system it can cause exhaust gas to escape out the removed cooler hoses that can result in a fire 🔥 bang goes your car.
Question mate if I just install the blanking plate on the install side will that be effective enough and is the by pass with the hoses 100% needed or can u get away without doing it ?
Just done this, and glow plugs, with carbon build up in intake, and my heater core pipes are 19mm.
Great video
Thanks for taking the time.
Q. On exhaust side blank plate, doing it the way you showed, does it not create an exhaust leak?? You loosened bolts then inserted a 1-2mm blank plate. When you tighten bolts back on exhaust, they would remain slightly off tight up against engine and hence a small exhaust leak?? Just thinking thru this logically or am I missing something??
Either way, great effort, love your work
i get what your saying, when you re-tighten the 8 exhaust manifold bolts it will push the cooler over about 1.5 mm , there is 1 bolt that holds the cooler in place (time stamp 13:03) which in theory should be loosened, however i did not this this on mine and it sealed fine.
@@abdautomotive thanks again. Reaching to loosen the bolt holding the cooler is easy said than done. Might use my nimble 19yo to reach back there😎😎
What torque setting is the manifold to egr cooler? Ive blanked mine and have a slight exhaust leak but dont want to over do it and snap something.
No idea at this stage. Was going to get a Haines manual which should have that data in it
I blocked my EGR on both sides last week. And have now got a very high pitch squeal from 1.5K revs and up… (turbo sound leaking through exhaust like you mentioned)
I thought I may have just minted the gasket when I prayed the manifold back. Because of how much of a c&@$ the job was, I just dumped my car at the tuners to fix,
They’re under the assumption the eBay plate I bought may have been to thick. They’re going to pull them out and just close it from the tune. Mentioned it’s a gearbox out job to completely remove the cooler…. Which makes sense given how difficult it was to wedge the 2 plates in…
Love the Vid, Question I did the water bypass as shown both ways but still find water coming out of the disconnected hoses from the EGR cooler so not sure what I’m doing wrong? Ranger is a 2018 model 3.2 so not sure if it’s different to the older versions.
not too sure, cooler might be different on the newer ones
I had the same problem did you work out what to do cheers
@@ReeceWatson-fm1me I found the same thing, spent a whole day trying to work it out then gave up and put it back to stock. Apparently the px2 is a different cooler and doesn't fail like the earlier ones. I blanked the egr at the valve and had it turned off in the ecu, also removed the inlet manifold etc and cleaned, goes real good now
Turns out my cooler is totally different to this one I had to remove completely and blank then tune out the egr
Hello , great video . Can you just bypass the cooler only and not blank off the EGR. Thanks
great video, have a question took my ranger 2012 2.2 l diesel to mechanic to replace glow plugs once job comleted took it for a drive and engine light came on code was p042f egr closed what did he do for it to be closed ,would appreciate any advise .cheers
could have refitted it incorrectly, undo the 4 screws & check to see if it's seated correctly
My son took the car back and he took the solinoid off and stated he couldent move the plunger,i cant help feeling he did something dodge as he didnt have the code before he touched it .
@@poogzie yeh common issue, i mention that in my common fault codes video, you can try spraying some brake cleaner to where the mechanical valve is too free it up, otherwise he's up for a new egr valve assembly, they get blocked with soot if you don't run a blanking plate.
Where’s the link mentioned at 9:48mins please? Need urgently 😊
top right corner, video pops up at 9:48
Ive blanked mine should i do the bypass also?
Would an EGR delete cabled bypass all of this?
15mm ID heater hose? Mine looks like 19mm. Was there a change at some point? Mine is 2013.
so if you blanked both sides, you could leave the coolant hoses attached and it wouldnt matter if it failed cause the coolant cant make it into the engine? for a stock factory look 😇
thats true, tho u would loose coolant
When blanking egr, I read the engine runs hotter. Also does anything else need to be done? Does the ecu trigger any trouble codes? Thanks in advance
It should run cooler its all a myth. Not sure if it will i guess it would but a remap should fix that
Why is it necessary to put the second bigger blanking plate in. Surly the smaller blank is enough. No need to put two plates in?
If blanking it out then I would because if the EGR cooler starts to leak/fails internally, then the coolant will make it's way into the exhaust, as you haven't put in the blanking plate to the exhaust. I reckon it's probably much better to get an aftermarket EGR cooler such as the Goss.
It would be a hell of a job getting the EGR out when the motors in the vehicle. Not much room between the back of the motor and the firewall. Maybe the transmission would have to come out.
indeed , thats why i just bypassed mine.
@@abdautomotive So it hasn't caused any other problems by bypassing the EGR cooler ?
@@shalininaicker none
Can I bypass the ERC cooler and not do blanking? Why I am asking this is it's in a tough spot. I just want to see how much I need to do from the 2 blanking and bypassing.
Hi there quick question, can i remove the egr valve completely, and run the heater hose to the bottom hose on egr, and then just block off manifold and the intake at the top. Just remove the whole egr altogether..
Thanks hope to hear from you.
you can remove the EGR cooler , but not the EGR valve itself, if you unplug it , it will go into limp mode
We have a ford ranger wildtrak px2 2017. I want to blank the egr cooler like you did on the video permanently with a hose. Will I also have to blank the egr valve as well. If I do these 2 steps will I have any overheating on the engine or will it be ok. I take full responsibility for my own actions. Just want to know If I do this will it do permanent damage or can I leave it like that
Cheers
MICK
the video is for a px1, px2 is diffrent
@@abdautomotive what do you mean by px2 is different? what's different about it?
Have you managed to do this on the 2017 ranger? If so can you tell me if it’s the same process?
Great information and video so thank you. I have a 2020 BT50 which is the last of the 3.2 motor before they went to Isuzu engine, I guess that makes it a PX3. Is the EGR the same on that model or is it different. I realise this is your vehicle but I am struggling to find out of the EGR is the same because obviously I don't want to do something wrong. Any info from anyone would be gratefully appreciated.
from what i know if you blank the EGR on a dpf model Ranger/BT50 an engine light will come up, you can get that turned off at any Diesel Tuning shop
@@abdautomotive Ok, thank you so much for getting back to me. Do you know if the cooling hoses are the same setup. I have had a look at mine and gee it's really hard to see. I might see how I go this weekend because I really don't want this thing to fail on me. Thanks again for your help, greatly appreciated.
@@GuyMorris-oq2zp from what i know hoses are a bit diffrent
How efficient will my ford be if i bypass the EGR Cooler.... and Durability
So I can just bypass the cooler with that hose and that's it no problem? Or do I have to blank and if I do blank that's it no worries
This vid was the best mate thanks heaps im working on my one atm Q can pick your brain on this whats the worse case scenario if i remove all the egr cooler set up behind there inc the valve etc and just by pass the hose like you said to the water pump and finally completely blank it from the exhaust?
it will throw a fault code if u unplug the EGR valve, you could zip tie it somewhere and leave it plugged in, you can remove the complete EGR cooler if you wanted to no problems & run a hose from heater core directly to water pump.
@@abdautomotive awesome mate so I've bypassed it straight from the heater core like you said bridged it up with a brass hose joiner now im assuming if i just blank it up from the exhaust and let it all sit there as it was plugged up should be fine right?
@@iangunn6409 yep
Hey mate I was just wondering if you need gaskets with the blanking plates or not?
Hi. I have a 2021 ranger px3 2.2 single cab. Will doing the EGR blocking cause any check engine lights? I heard ford did some changes in the ecu and it’s still on warranty which I don’t want to void.
i'm not sure on the PX2 or PX3 , it might, on the PX1 i've had no problems with the engine light, i know that you can get a EGR cable that you plug into the mass air flow sensor for the PX2/3 , this keeps the valve electronically closed by tricking the computer , it does not activate engine light, you can remove the cable whenever taking car back to dealership as it's plug n play.
It looks like You can also get the egr cable for the px1. Any idea if you can use said cable and re rout the cooler piping? Or does this have to be done with the blanks? Cheers
Or does the cable also shut off flow to the egr?
@@lachlanhunter1956 you want to use blanking plates and re route the water! you DO NOT want to just trick the valve closed… because if the cooler fails, water can still enter engine and hot exhaust in the engine bay.
@@generalgreen77 no worries thought that may of been the case. Thanks for the reply 🤙🏼
I have a question, can I isolate only the EGR heat exchanger without isolating the path of the gases? Wouldn't that cause any issues?
