hi there

yes, this will cause an air leak and throw your emissions all over the place.

see this (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/egrrepair.htm).

cheers mate got the egr off but ive found some exposed wiring on the loom which runs up the middle of the cylinders is this a common fault plus would this effect the emissions too,back to the cossi in bits to try and repair these faults

The failure of wiring in this area due to heat is well known. You will find THIS firm (http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk/VWPweb2000/homepage/home.html) useful for wiring. BEWARE though the connectors on the Scorpio are not available as a separate item and those that look the same ARE NOT. If you can salvage the wiring close to the connector ,solder the new and then insulate with heatshrink material that is a way to overcome the issue. Some members run the wiring through heat resistant material to protect the new loom.
