• Q: How to Service and Repair the EGR Valve on 2008 Ford Fusion?

  A: The proper servicing and repairing of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve requires first draining the cooling system. Begin by taking off the air cleaner outlet pipe followed by disconnecting the EGR valve electrical connector. Unscrew the clamp which enables removal of the upper radiator hose from the coolant outlet adapter and then follow by disconnecting the EGR coolant outlet hose from the EGR valve by releasing its clamp. The two securing bolts must be removed from the EGR valve so you can throw away the gasket. You should tighten the new EGR valve to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) torque specification. Cleaning the sealing surfaces with metal scrapers or wire brushes or power abrasive discs should be avoided because these tools create scratches and gouges that result in leakage; however, a plastic scraping tool will efficiently remove all old EGR valve gasket remnants. The cleaning process can proceed to metal surface preparation when all remaining gasket material has been eliminated. Perform cleaning before proceeding with the reverse installation steps before completing the cool system filling process and bleeding operation.
