EGR A Control stuck closed

[tedtransit]

Hello
my 2013 Transit T350 has developed the "EGR A control stuck closed ? I did have a maf sensor problem which I replaced (but due to work presure i did do around 600+ miles with the problem unresolved ) so not sure if related , the engine management light comes on and (sometimes) the stability warning light (which wont turn off ??)
hopefully someone can shed some light and what to do ?
thanks in advance

I think the stability light comes on because it depends on everything being right with engine performance, EGR wrong .. so not right conditions for stability control because it eventually goes into limp mode because of the EGR fault

You need to dismantle and clean EGR... a garage may not do this 'cause of time versus price ... they will replace it.

Would it be better to just put a new EGR valve in as the van has done 140 k miles and being the b**+chit is to get at just dont want to do it again ?

Yes you can do .. but my advice: either Pierburg or a Ford one .

Well thats why it was stuck closd then ?? looks like it was jamed and the motor could not turn it, anyways as it was a total pain to get off and no doubt will be to get back on and as it may have burned out the motor i have orderd a new one
thanks for the replies
regards

so you've removed a cover off it ... and i see a roller bearing that's come out of the link bar... probably they are not supposed to do that so .. kaput .
