EGR Baffle kit

[chrispugs1967]

My dealer told me of a baffle kit that i can install to help solve the build up on the EGR vavle. Is anyone fimilar with this. For $10 i gave it a try and cant figure out where it goes. If anyone knows of these any information would be helpfull.

Do you have some instructions or pics of instructions that you can post up for us to see?

They did give me a copy of the TSB 08-26-12 publication.

um, i would say just to ask the dealer guy!!

i never heard of such thing....

read the info in that TSB very carefully. there is lots of fundamental info in it.

i suspect that the baffle would provide a surface for the particulates to drop out of the airstream. it could work reducing the coking, but i don;t think its going to be the silver bullet.

I think your best answer will come from the service advisor at the dealership that originally informed you of this situation.

Ya I plan on asking the parts guy on monday morning but wanted to get it done over this weekend and was wondering if anyone had any info on it. I'll find out and let you know how I make out, thanks.

"NOTE Performed As Actual Time

THERE IS EVIDENCE OF WET OIL."

Why not just SOLVE the problem? Delete the EGR or use a modded up-pipe.

I figure try this first, if its the same, then i'll delete it.

So, what did you end up doing? If you put in a baffle kit - what do you think?

I had a 'greased' up EGR that I believe was caused from tooo much oil on my AirAid air filter being sucked in. At the moment, I am seriously considering discarding the EGR. Maybe this fix from Ford will help but I could use some advise before experimenting. There maybe other issues I am not aware of as well.
