Ford Ranger EGR Cooler Bypass, Blanking, Removal & Install

An in depth video All things related to the EGR Cooler on the T6 Ford Ranger & Mazda Bt 50

[@mick854231]

Great video 👍 question? You mentioned the hose was 15mm but for a Px2 others have said it’s 16mm is that correct?

[@abdautomotive]

16mm is the standard size, i used some off cut that looked like 15mm when i measured it, used a tape measure tho so not that accurate, go with the 16mm

[@lucysoutdoors]

I used 5/8'' ==15.88 mm(16mm)

[@victormoffat8753]

16mm bottom . 20mm heater inlet

[@lyallhansell4083]

Definitely 19mm

[@markrussell3322]

When blanking permanently should U get an egr delete on its computer

You are an absolute legend! I put blanking plates in but couldn't find anything on the cooler line bypass. All your px1 videos have services me endlessly. Thanks heaps mate. Keep em coming!

[@whitekoala4172]

Did you manage it with the engine in?

[@MRHARDGT]

I wish I watched this video before I had taken my ranger to a mechanic and being charged $3500 to change it and a radiator. Awesome video thanks.

[@lukebransby]

Thank you been looking for a video like this for ages. With the EGR to Exhaust manifold blanking plate, I found another guy who slotted the two bottom holes on the plate. Then you only have to completely remove the top centre bolt and only back off the two lower bolts, as you did with the blanking plate at the EGR valve body. Thank you again, job well done.

[@Robdutton91]

That guy is a genius

[@lewhone6325]

Having worked on ships it is vitaly important to maintain your coolant. If you're using town water or bore water or not changing the coolant regularly you will get corrosion in the water jacket. The exhaust gas won't corrode, the coolant does, if the coolant is maintained these problems shouldn't occur but no-one changes their coolant regularly. The engine is made up of dissimilar metals that react with each other when the coolant gets tired and starts to becomes an electrolyte. Cracks may occur from expanding and contracting but corrosion won't if you look after your coolant.

[@ausbloke3007]

Thankyou for taking the time and effort to make this great video. Excellent job clear and concise!

[@Muckinhellx4]

This is awsome in theory, wish I had this before I did all this in situ in the car. Beware the egr valve the little tabs of the factory gasket are sharper then shark teeth, also if u think the exhaust blank is going in like shown then your dreaming. The only way to really accomplish all this with a full intake clean. Get the intake manifold out to get the best access to the back of the head. U can fully remove the egr cooler and fit the blank with a piece of stiff wire inserted through the top hole of the exhaust manifold, slide the top hole of the blank on and then slide top hole of the egr cooler on and then pull the whole lot back towards the Manifold. In sert the 2 bottom bolts to secure then reef the wire out for the top bolt. Then put all the intake gear back on. Make sure u have some small 10mm 3/8th tube sockets with universals to get at the ex manifold bolts in/out. These will come in handy throughout the intake removal as well. Also tie the bonnet up so it sits straight or 90deg as well, allows heaps of room. Ps hose from auto parts supplier in Australia is almost perfect factory replacement for bypass calibre ch1325c.

[@wadehughes8986]

Yeah nah, no need to take the inlet manifold out to do the blanking both sides. If someone like me can do it on a gravel driveway with limited knowledge and tools, then anyone can. The trick is to take out the bolts / nuts from both sides of the EGR out at the same time. If you loosen the 13mm nut that holds the EGR to the motor, then you can do the exhaust side from under the car without undoing the exhaust manifold. The other side is the easy side. No need to take anything else out of the way to do the job.

[@darkside9129]

@@wadehughes8986 Great tip. Thanks.

[@rossawood5075]

I used an XD Falcon heater hose, it has a flared end at one end of the hose to suit heater connection at firewall and the non flared end goes to the EGR exit hose location, the particular hose is an ideal length, sorry no part no,

[@scotty5166]

Loving all your videos mate, super handy, no BS or padding just the good stuff, invaluable and big thumbs up 👍💪😇

[@marcusbarnes5929]

Great video, 👍 the water line bypass number 1 looks the best. Factory. You can also just turn off the EGR valve In the software and it never opens to stop soot build up. I also read in the ranger Px3 the EGR acts as a pressure relief valve so it opens to relieve boost but stays closed so exhaust gas doesn't get sucked through when light throttle cruising.

[@oakden1991]

Considering taking this fellas advice guys. My ranger blew a hole in the engine block, mechanic believes the cooler caused this. This was a 2.2L and now sitting in my backyard because it's hard to justify spending almost 10k to fix it. Oh well..new hilux is going good

[@keithwilliams1454]

Awesome video thanks. Straight to the point and all the right information. Much appreciated.

[@AntritchKawol]

Very informative he knows all the arteries of the engine coolant system any overheating issues of the vehicle solutions is available in this video

[@bamb4911]

Thanks for posting mate cheers. Just did this to my 2014 3.2L Ranger. Had driven it a long way and noticed I was topping up coolant all the time. Suspected an issue with the EGR cooler. Eventually it was going through more coolant than I could put it, litres at a time. Must have all been going out the exhaust. Also eventually noticed exhaust gases coming out the coolant tank and odours. So decided to do my own bypass before the engine overheated potentially causing serious damage, if that hasn’t occurred already. Have done the coolant line bypass, haven’t done the exhaust yet. It is now not loosing any coolant for the first time in a long time. Temp gauge is stable. So must have been the EGR cooler at fault. Very disappointed with Ford for these rubbish parts. Will be taking it in to the shop ASAP. Thanks for the tip mate cheers.

[@antonyomeara-bk9pm]

Did you need to do head gasket in the end or all good? Mines identical to yours, cheers.

[@bamb4911]

@@antonyomeara-bk9pm This is what happened. I was right the EGR cooler had failed. This is why i was loosing a lot of coolant. The engine did overheat once due to having no coolant. I was lucky to not have any permenant damage. I then cut and bypassed the egr coolant line, because i was in a remoye location. I did not blank the egr exhaust. I was able to get the ute home (300km+) and to a good mechanic. By this point the exhaust gases from the egr had burnt a hole in the intake manifold. This was noticible by a distinct lack of power. Quote from mechanic “found intake elbow and manifold both have holes burnt through”. Intake elbow and manifold was around $350 to replace. Beyond this, the mechanic replaced the EGR itself and replaced the coolant line. Unfortunately they refused to fully blank the egr. They did a compression test, no problem. Havent lost any more coolant so as far as i know the head gasket is ok. The ute is now performing very well. Looking at the info from the mechanic it doesnt say they tested or checked the head gasket. Engine oil and coolant fluid appears normal and not losing coolant.

[@antonyomeara-bk9pm]

@@bamb4911 good to hear mate, mine is at mechanics now having blanks installed, and tune, i did the bypass. I dont appear to have head gasket damage, i limped it to mechanics so shouldnt have intake issues. Hopefully back mon Tuesday.

[@hrmarozzi]

Gracias por tu video, yo hice el by pasa directamente desde la salida de la manguera al frente del motor directo al calefactor, lo que sucedió es que se puede circular a una velocidad moderada pero por encima de los 130 km/h el motor se calienta supongo que por la falta de enfriamiento de los gases, igual fue una solución acertada y sirvió muchísimo, para seguir viajando 😉

[@guillermokohrst1601]

hiciste el bypass de el anticongelante sin bloquear la egr? estopuede ser peligroso tambien por que metes gases muy calientes directo al motor

[@cjspaul9900]

Interesting.. i bought a ranger and was Unaware that previous owner done this but made a hash of it. Was getting exhaust fumes in cabin and eventually found smoke puffing from the area he tried to bypass. Watching this its obvious the previous owner tried to do a bypass without removing engine and therefore didn't do it properly. Had ford renistate egr so all good now.. Thanks for sharing

[@geoffharrower2845]

Just take the advice of AutoExpert John Kadogan and replace the EGR every 80,000km. My friend had catastrophic engine failure and Ford dealer raped him for a new engine $32,000.00!!!

[@PropanePete]

I think you'll find that bypassing the EGR cooler and exhaust flow will throw up a check engine light. This is what happens on the older VW TDI engines but getting a remap sorts out the engine management system and everything is fine again.

[@erikaloraine4277]

ReMap? Do I need to go to the dealer for this?

Best video on the process ever dude, awesome job..

[@nathanroodt437]

Dp you recommend the EGR blanking?

[@Sweepsta69]

Cannot thank you enough for this video, detailed but easy to follow

[@mustangdude11]

I would use the OEM hose clamp on the new hose. These clamps self tighten as the new hose shrinks (and it will shrink) unlike a worm style clamp which will require tightening down the track.

[@Pkub]

If I blank of the egr cooler on the egr valve side only that means the cooler will still have hot exhaust gas in it will this be problem when I bypass the coolant as you've done in the video.

[@thfr1908]

Thank you for taking the effort of making this and the other egr related videos. Today I installed the blanking plate between the cooler and the valve and bypassed the cooler. Do you advise to block the exhaust side as well or is this sufficient? Thanks to your video about the intercooler i also replaced for an aluminium one as well, she runs better as ever before! Your videos mean the world to me! Thanks a lot!

[@ZurzoloTank]

I have a 2016 ranger that has just started leaking coolant (A LOT) After watching this video and doing some inspection I've noticed that I don't even have any hose at all that connects to the bottom inlet/outlet on the EGR Valve. After speaking with the previous owner they have never made any modifications to it, and either have I obviously.. What's going on here? Does the 2016 ranger apply? (By the time I got to the car to see the leak it was all dry so I can't actually see whether there was coolant leaking from here or not but don't want to turn the car on before knowing what's going on)

[@elbridget6304]

Great video already bypass coolant hose directly to engine leaving egr valve and egr cooler after my px1 2013 dump coolant to exhaust side and leaving coolant ridiculously low after long run after off-roading and nearly make me stranded.. and also already blank egr valve also after freshly rebuilt top after clogged with carbon at intake site

[@jockylittle339]

Great video, thanks for taking the time. One issue, I’ve just had at look into my px2 engine bay, and it looks like that coolant pipe from the heater core goes round and down past the egr to some box attached to the transmission. Or at least appears to. Any ideas?

[@aussieman3582]

Goes to oil cooler on PX2 3.2 from heater core.

A question, but first as said by many previously, very informative. Because of the video i was able to diagnose the problem immediately. Doing the bypass tomorrow on my 2017 3.2, which incidentally is 19mm hose on mine. Can the bypass be used as a permanent solution?

[@warrenmay2049]

if you use a dayco hose part no dmh1672 it fits on the heater core to the EGR valve .there is EGR delete from chip tuning which turns it off completely except for wastegate and no codes . cheq it out then you can leave the dead cooler ware it is and no blanking plates

@@abdautomotive wow that was a quick response, I think ?? mine is split and leaking fluid into the motor. Sometime when I start it just clicks, when it finally fires it runs rough for 20-30 seconds from there it is fine. I am now releasing the radiator pressure cap to stop the pressure when it is standing. That seems to temporarily solve that problem. Upon looking on google there are those that say not to blank as it can cause engine damage. Do you agree and if so what king of damage can be caused. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

If you blank both sides of the egr cooler with plates is there any point of bypassing the coolant

L/H side blanking plate, 15 mins to do a manual in place but need bent spanners etc for a auto because the dipstick tube blocks access to the top bolt, R/H side takes a while as well but well worth it.

Is this as simple as installing the blanking plate & bypassing the cooler? Or is there some mods required to trick the ECU in to thinking there is no blockage?

[@abdautomotive]

[@ScottGiltrap]

Hi. Cool video. Once you've removed the whole egr cooler can you just leave it off? And cover the exhaust end with a plate?.. And you'd obviously have to connect the hoses up.

Hi man! First of all great video. Question for you let's say I successfully blanked the EGR VALVE & the cooler. Won't the cars computer identify the blanking as a faulty Valve or something like that?

[@ClaytonMacbeth]

Hi mate great video content but it was a couple of years ago now. We have a 2015 BT50 towing a 2.8t caravan with 190k on it. In your opinion should we do the delete or is it more of a "if it aint broke don't fix it "type of thing. Secondly if I put the one plate in at the valve end, reroute the hose, remove the hose from in the air inlet block that, is there anything else needed. For instance any computer work needed or just off we go. How does the ECU now things are working. Cheers and keep up the good work.

I, Great vids, especially on the removed engine for clarity . I only blanked the egr valve side because the acess appears so difficult on the exhaust side ,( and by passed the cooler,) any risk in over heating the cooler with exhaust gas being ale to flow from the exhaust side? I guess its not getting any flow as the exhaust gas has no where to go so heating should be minimal .

[@waksQam]

Bypassing the egr cooler water coolant & blanking 1 side only (egr valve side) i think these processes possible to perform since the engine is under the hood. So what do you think? Is necessary to blanking the exhaust side?

Nope as long as you blocked intake side that’s gonna block all the exhaust gases. 👍

Just a question. If you bypass the egr cooler, would it still be worth blanking the egr?

[@Gornflyin]

Just wondering, if you use a piece of hose to bypass the coolant, like you show in the start of the video, does that now mean that the now hot exhaust will be going straight into the intake? Hence the need for the block off plates? How long can you drive it without the plates fitted? Also, how can you tell if an EGR is dud when buying a Ford PX? I'm flying to Perth to buy, and driving back to VIC, 3500km. Ive just watched 1 video showing the heater hose pulled off the firewall, runs the car, and shows the coolant bubbling. He said this is the exhaust gas mixing with coolant. Correct or no? Thanks. Your videos are really informative :)

you can remove the EGR cooler , but not the EGR valve itself, if you unplug it , it will go into limp mode

What subsequent happen to the turbo when removing the EGR system? Does it effect to life spans of the turbo charger or piston? The pressure from the exhaust no longer through the egr cooler. What do you think??

[@cameronmartin931]

Only a small part of the exhaust goes through the EGR cooler, most exits through the turbo so only has a small effect. In fact most people report a small increase in responsiveness.
