Hey, thanks for your quick reply! My car already has 101756 km on it and I had the last service 3 months ago. Engine size is a 1.6 liter gasoline. Hope that helps you a bit more. Is the EGR valve defect a known problem at Ford? Should I go to a specialist garage or can any garage deal with it? And how long did it take you to get it repaired? Thanks for your help!

Hey, no problem! Yes, unfortunately the EGR valve defect is a common problem with Ford, especially with older models. With your mileage, it is therefore quite possible that this part has given up the ghost. In principle, any workshop can deal with this, it doesn't necessarily have to be a Ford-specific one. Regarding your question about the repair time: In my case, it took about a day before the car was roadworthy again, as they had to order the part. But don't worry, you should get a replacement car while it's being repaired. Hope this helps you! Let us know how it goes. Good luck!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2012 Ford B MAX, I have medium experience with cars. I went to my garage to get it checked and it turned out that the EGR valve was faulty and stuck. It cost me 355 euros to get it fixed. So it could well be that this is the problem with your car too. Could you give me a few more details about your car so that I can help you more accurately? Engine size, mileage, etc? Hope that helps a little!
