Ford Transit EGR, DPF & Injector Diagnostics
Specialist diagnostic testing and repairs for EGR, DPF and fuel injection faults on 2.0 EcoBlue diesel engines.
Ford Transit EGR, DPF & Injector Diagnostics
Faults with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve, Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or fuel injectors are common on Ford 2.0 EcoBlue engines. These components are linked; an injector fault often leads to a blocked DPF, while a sticking EGR valve causes poor combustion and rapid soot build-up.
We provide specialist diagnostics to identify the root cause of engine warning lights and limp mode. Instead of guessing, we use live data from the engine management system to determine if a component requires cleaning, recalibration or replacement.

Symptoms to look out for
- Engine warning light or 'Service Now' message on the dashboard
- Van entering limp mode with significantly reduced power
- Frequent failed DPF regeneration attempts
- Rough idling or engine cutting out at junctions
- Strong smell of unburnt diesel from the exhaust
- Increased fuel consumption and poor throttle response
What we inspect
- Live data for DPF soot load and back pressure
- EGR valve position and response times
- Fuel injector correction factors and balance
- Turbocharger boost pressure and actuator movement
- Intake manifold for carbon restrictions
- Exhaust gas temperature sensor readings
What the repair may involve
- 1Read diagnostic trouble codes to identify stored faults
- 2Inspect the engine wiring loom for common rub-through points
- 3Check vacuum lines and boost hoses for leaks
- 4Test individual fuel injector performance
- 5Remove the EGR valve to inspect for mechanical sticking
- 6Perform a workshop-based DPF soot clearing procedure
- 7Clean the EGR cooler and pipework of carbon deposits
- 8Update the PCM software if a calibration update is available
Oil light on, hard brake pedal or low oil pressure?
Stop driving and book a diagnostic before more damage is caused.

Frequently Asked Questions
This usually happens when the van cannot complete a regeneration due to short trips or a faulty sensor. If the light stays on, the system needs a manual diagnostic check to prevent filter damage.
Yes. If an injector is over-fuelling, it creates excessive soot that blocks the DPF much faster than normal. Fixing the DPF without checking the injectors is often only a temporary fix.
Costs vary depending on whether the valve, the cooler, or both need replacing. We provide a fixed quote after our initial diagnostic confirms the specific fault.
We use high-quality parts that meet or exceed original specifications. We can fit genuine Ford components or reputable aftermarket alternatives depending on your preference.
We advise against it. Continued driving with an EGR or DPF fault can lead to more expensive repairs, such as a melted DPF core or internal engine damage.
