Enhanced Motorcraft CX2102 EGR Valve for Exhaust Gas Recirculation Review

Ordered on February 17th (Saturday) from Autoplicity via Revain. They were a few bucks more expensive than the others, but the other one was in stock, Autoplicity said it was in stock, and I needed it relatively soon. Got an email on February 19th saying it was "postponed" I guess god! To my surprise, the goods will be at my door on February 20th! The part was exactly OEM as advertised, installed and works great!

This part worked fine on my 2007 Explorer. The EGR is located at the rear of the engine so it was difficult to get to the main exhaust pipe going to the valve to break it off the old part but once that was done the process was pretty smooth. The Motorcraft part is great as it's the main supplier that Ford uses for parts and it's a lot cheaper than the dealer. The fit was perfect and I haven't had any issues since replacing them last fall.

This part fits 2006 Ford Explorer. A piece of advice: if you want to get this job done in twenty minutes. Buy an EGR mounting bracket from Ford (about $40). Call Ford parts. You're just looking for a bracket (the EGR sensor comes with a gasket). The mount is not sold in auto parts stores. The screws for attaching the sensor to the bracket are usually welded in there (two 10 mm screws). Don't waste time removing screws when you can buy a mount. Remove the bracket (two 8mm screws), I should say…

I remanufactured a 2005 Ford Explorer with engine test code P0401 (insufficient EGR flow). This car appears to have a combined DPFE sensor and EGR valve. The new part differs slightly from the original (lower part of the EGR valve). Otherwise, it exploded straight up. The new part comes with a new steel gasket and two mounting bolts. I'm very happy with the result because after the exchange the horrible code didn't come back. If you have the patience and a set of wrenches, this job is easily…
