Hello, sooner or later it catches every 2.0D: the AGR problem. My V50 started bad after 6 years and more than 110000 km last, during full acceleration fluctuating engine power and overall a noticeable power loss. So I closed the AGR with a sheet metal: the engine ran like new, unfortunately (as expected) the engine control light went on after a few kilometers… In the Ford Mondeo and Focus the same engine is installed, there you fight in the forum with the same There are problems: you can find a construction instruction for a suitable sheet with a 10mm bore, so that just enough exhaust gases can flow through, which the indicator lamp does not light up. However, this sheet is not quite easy to produce due to the oval shape with several radii – by chance I found at Mercedes a metal disc with 10mm diameter of the shock absorber of the old C-Class, which seems to have been exactly made for this problem: Part number A202 326 00 76 for 1,38 Euro. t the two 10 screws on the AGR (connection tube between AGR and suction bridge) pushes the metal disc between AGR and pipe and screws the two screws again. Done! Work effort: 1 minute! The disc sits slightly out of the middle, perfectionists can grind something off the edge, so that the ring fits exactly between the screws, but I did not make it. From the driving feeling there is no difference to the completely closed AGR valve to feel, however, the Mo door control light not on! Greeting NW
