I don't think it has ever been touched according to the History. I went for a drive today and in the lower gears she seems OK. The main problem is when I take my foot off in 5th or 4th and then accelerate again. She is very poor until she reaches 2000rpm, then woosh! Off she goes.

A quicker/easier way may be to deactivate the EGR by pulling off and stopping-up the vacuum tube (with a suitable screw). But if the EGR is seriously gummed up and restricting air flow from the turbo then it's not improving anything (see thread from Eddiemc05 http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=222086 ). There's a great picture by picture how-to thread from Arctic Steve about removing / cleaning the egr (and manifold) if it's new to you: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=104653 Last edited by Ken Lion; 27th July 2015 at 09:51.. |

I have just ordered an EGR valve by-pass from DMGRS. My X types suffered terribly with problems with the EGR. I don't know if you have ever read any of Diesel Bob's articles about different makes of diesel engines but it is well worth a look. http://www.dieselbob.co.uk/ He doesn't have a good thing to say about Ford's 2.0ltr tdci

Nothing works well when over geared (i.e. in too high a gear) even a bicycle struggles to accelerate from low speeds in top gear..
For the sake of engine longevity, you should always try to keep enough revs on to allow your engine to perform well... Flogging an engine in too low a gear puts severe strains on all parts of the drive train including the gearbox... Diesel engines thrive on hard work, so give em bags of welly innit... ... |

I also think that if your diesel is 115 then it's going to feel sluggish next to any of those others you list, the 135 tune is much more driveable.... the 160 is best though as the turbo boost is felt earlier in the rev range. Sounds like the laguna is a 147 so will be way quicker than a 115 (which is carrying an extra 100kg as well). Give it more revs and get the MAF checked. If it's still too slow then get the 160 map on it.
