The blanking plate that fits between the EGR valve and cooler is made
from Laser cut 1.5mm 304 Stainless Steel. The cooler plates are in 2mm
Stainless, and has been rumbled to make it smooth and give it an abraded
surface to get a better seal.
The MK7
and MK8 Transits suffer with leaking EGR Coolers. This can give the
impression that the cylinder head gasket has blown. 2 things can happen.
(1) the exhaust gasses leak into the engine coolant, which pressurize
the system, blowing the water out. I know of quite a few engines that
have been wrecked due to this problem. (2) water is forced into the
inlet system when left standing, which can lead to hydraulic lock, which
also wrecks the engine.
There
are 2 different types of EGR Cooler. A round tube type and a Square
section tube type. The kit has 3 plates, one to fit on the EGR valve end
of the cooler, and 2 plate ( the big ones) so one can be fitted
between the exhaust manifold and the EGR cooler. Only one is fitted that
corresponds to the EGR cooler type. The engine Management light will
come on, unless the EGR valve has been mapped out.
It
fits the EURO 4 and 5 engines only. The Euro 6 has a different EGR
cooler that has a conical joint at the cooler to exhaust manifold.
