[westers]

fitted the focus bottom half air box + hose and a K&N air filter

old Vs new


k and nnnnnnn



all fitted




also fitted an EGR blank, which was an absolute f***er to do! the bolts where seized, took about 3 hours to get them undun enough to slide the plate in but hopefuly the 2 together will make a change

[Connect-rick]

Yep, I agree totally on the EGR blank being an absolute fu**er to fit!!

My blanking plate is still in the packet as s**t scared to put anymore pressure trying to undo the bolts!!

Your telling me and awkward to get your hand round the back plus you cant get a socket on the end only small spanner with not much leverage!!!

What socket set size were you using as i manged to get a 1/4 10mm on a 6" braker bar and undid them

[dieselboy1978]

This is an easy job to do.

[Graham Taylor]

This is an easy job to do.

On the 05/06 and earlier the EGR is facing towards the rear of the engine bay and so access is harder than later models which has the EGR turned towards the centre of the engine bay making access easier.

Think I have a 1/4 10mm socket but dont have a bar that fits that size. May nip into local tool shop and see if I can pick one up and give it another go!
