The upgraded design redirects combustion gases away from sensitive valve areas, which significantly reduces carbon accumulation and keeps engine oil cleaner for extended service intervals. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel with an integrated sealing gasket, it provides a durable, leak-free fit that withstands repeated thermal cycles without deforming. Directly compatible with Focus MK1 (1998–2005), Mondeo MK2 \u0026amp; MK3 (1996–2005), and Transit Connect vehicles (2002 onward) powered by the 90 BHP to 115 BHP variants, this retrofit restores throttle responsiveness and simplifies long-term maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits \u0026amp; Practical Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprove fuel economy and smooth out low-rev acceleration by removing restricted exhaust recirculation bottlenecks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtend oil change intervals by blocking soot and particulate matter from entering the crankcase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the mating surfaces thoroughly before fitting, and apply a light coat of anti-seize to the mounting bolts to ensure clean removal during future servicing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Stainless steel with silver finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Engines: 1.8 TDDI (90 BHP), 1.8 TDCI (100\/115 BHP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle Fitment: Ford Focus MK1 (1998–2005), Mondeo MK2\/MK3 (1996–2005), Transit Connect (2002+)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Method: Bolts into original chassis locations using factory hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHazardous Chemicals: None detected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage includes:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × stainless steel valve blanking plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Guidelines \u0026amp; Reliability Notice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis component is shipped without written instructions and requires basic mechanical familiarity.
