does anyone know where the egr valave sensor is on tx2 been told its on the nearside wing but there is few there who knows which one it is, dont know if it is the egr valve or the sensor but the cab seem to be gutless, had egr vlave blocked off but can still see smoke at night in peoples headlights and can see some smoke in my own headlights |

what engine is it, 2.4 ford duratorq? what year? you will see "haze" at night behind you, theres no escaping that, its the particles in your exhaust, you see it more than anyone following (plus your getting a wee bit paranoid over it) - get a mate to drive it while you follow, see whats there |

have you any "wooshing" noise? a common fault is a split turbo boost hose on 2.0 duratorqs, and will increase any smoke (just for a start) is your MPG suffering? |

a 52 2.0 tdci/tddi wouldnt have a EGR senser, i think they were added to later versions (at least in mondeos) |

I get that. Apparantly most do it, mines fine. I think any diesel at night looks bad in headlights, it shows up all the sheeite, obviously its worse in the winter when it's cold outside and very hot in your engine!

Diesels run cold compared to petrol engines, even though they need 20+ to one compression |
