More EGR?s

[Mountaineer]

Okay, I got the dreaded EGR related DTCs today. Just ticked over 40K on the clock.

I've read about servicing and deleting the EGR altogether. I'm planning to keep everything stock for a long while.

As such, is this something I should plan to service on my own or would it be covered under the factory warranty? I'm pretty sure I could do it, but then again if it's a warranty issue I'd rather let them do it at the blue oval store.

I had the local parts store pull and clear the codes as my OBD II scanner couldn't seem to communicate. I've got an actron, but it was a no go.

The DTC didn't come back on the way home, but I suspect the egr is dirty and the codes are coming back.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

will be covered under warranty, but might have to pay a $100 deductible....if you have a good dealer that you can trust, just take it in.....BUT, if it just needs a good cleaning, the gasket/o-ring kit is only a few bucks and take about an hour of your time to clean....hope this helps....

After some searching, I found a few TSBs. Apparenlty they went from replace egr to clean to now back to just replace.


I think I'll call the local dealership to run down my options. I'll hope for a warranty freebie.
