It was a warm
summer’s day as Daniel Young (F45) pulled up beside a
passenger waiting on the street. The man popped his head through
Daniel’s open nearside window to give his destination and almost
as an afterthought, asked Daniel if he could smell gas? "I had smelt a whiff of what seemed like mains gas that’s true," Daniel told Call Sign, "I had the aircon going full blast and decided it was perhaps a local leak from the street that the aircon had directed into my cabin. But as we moved out of the area, the smell was still there, which made me convinced it was the aircon unit, so I turned it off. But it was to no avail, the stink stayed with me." With the merest sign of a smile, Daniel continued to describe the mystery. "I went to my garage, CF Taxis in Cudworth Street and while I waited, they took my cab to their own aircon specialist who serviced the system and diagnosed that the |

 smell was not the fault of the cooling system. This was good news, but it was also not such good news because I still had the odour." "However, I have an extended warranty with M&O so I went back to them to see if they could help. Their letter stated that it was my economical driving technique that had caused a build-up of deposits within the Exhaust Gas Recirculator and it would need to be thoroughly cleaned out," he said. |
"So back I went
to Cudworth Street. They stripped and cleaned out this EGR
thingy and bingo, the smell had gone! Now my cab runs
beautifully and smoother and it’s even a bit quicker too," he
said with the same smile as earlier. "So it seems my economical driving technique, namely a light touch on the throttle pedal, is not necessarily the way to treat a TX4. Apparently - and this goes for the TX1 and 2 as well - the cab needs a good throttle opening ‘whizz’ every now and again to clear the exhaust deposits from the system. However, I think I‘ll do that when I’m on my own as I doubt if passengers will appreciate me rolling them about on the back seat as I tell them about ‘clearing out my EGR!" Then Daniel drove off laughing...! © Call Sign Magazine MMX |
