Just woken up my Duratec 06 Plus Four after a longer than usual winter layup. Great to be out on the road again in this good weather but I have been surprised by two problems that I could do with some help/experience on.
First the ecu engine light is on and the reader lists the fault as “EGR A control circuit open”. P0403. My local garage can’t find a sensor on the exhaust system. I’ve had this problem before when starting up after the winter and it has usually sorted itself after the car has run for a while. This year it seems to be lingering.
Second the speedo has stopped working. Dial illumination and mileage reader are both working and the needle gives a slight twitch on starting but no movement after that. I’ve not had the unit out of the dash yet but are there any fixes I can try?
First time with removing the dash. Is it simply removal of three fixing screws and careful tilt?
Any help or suggestions gratefully accepted.
