Exhaust Valve Delete Plug – Why Is It Useful?

Exhaust Valve Delete Plug – Why Is It Useful?

🔧 What Is It?

The Exhaust Valve Delete Plug allows you to correctly terminate the wiring loom connected to your car’s exhaust valve.
It’s a simple Plug & Play solution, especially useful if you:

  • are using an aftermarket performance exhaust system,

  • want to remove the factory exhaust valve, or

  • your valve is malfunctioning and causing fault codes.


Why Do You Need It?

Avoid Fault Codes and System Limitations

If the valve is not working properly, the ECU may throw a fault code and display the message:
“Drive Modes Not Available” – which means certain driving functions will stop working.
The Delete Plug simulates a functional valve, making the ECU think everything is working as it should. The result:
💡 no warning lights, no restrictions.


Retain All Driving Modes

Drive Mode selection (e.g. Normal, Sport, Track) remains fully functional.
Your car won’t enter limp mode or reduce performance.


Perfect for Tuned or Modified Exhausts

Aftermarket cat-back or axle-back exhausts often don’t use the factory valve.
The Delete Plug allows your exhaust to operate freely, unleashing its true sound, without triggering electronic faults.


⚙️ How Does It Work?

  • The plug includes an internal circuit that properly terminates the exhaust valve wiring

  • Takes less than 2 minutes to install

  • If any fault codes already exist, you’ll need to clear them after installation – no new codes will appear


🛠️ Installation Guide

  1. Turn off the engine and remove the key

  2. Locate the exhaust valve connector (near the muffler)

  3. Disconnect the factory plug and connect the terminator in its place

  4. If necessary, clear existing fault codes using an OBD2 tool


💬 Does It Affect Performance?

No. It does not alter the car’s tuning or engine parameters, but it prevents electrical issues and gives you full control over your exhaust system.


🚗 PMR Racing Recommends:

If you’re removing the active exhaust valve or running a sportier aftermarket setup,
the Exhaust Valve Delete Plug is the cleanest and safest way to properly terminate the system.

Ford RS MK3 PTU Cooling System

Ford RS MK3 PTU Cooling System
Ford RS MK3 PTU jahutussüsteem

The Ford Focus RS Mk3 is a highly popular and well-regarded sports car, but like all high-performance vehicles, it has its weak points. One of the main issues arises during intense driving, particularly on track days and high-performance driving events, where the drivetrain components tend to overheat. A common issue is the appearance of an AWD system failure warning, followed by the disconnection of the rear differential, which can be extremely frustrating for the driver.

Frod Focus RS MK3 - drifting

The root cause of this problem is the overheating of the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) due to insufficient cooling. When the PTU overheats, the car’s ECU disables the rear-wheel drive to reduce strain on the PTU and allow it to cool down.

The Ultimate Solution

After years of extensive testing, we are proud to introduce a unique PTU cooling system—the only one of its kind, delivering exactly what Ford Focus RS Mk3 owners have been waiting for.

Key Features of the Ford RS MK3 PTU Cooling System:

OEM Engine Cooling PTU Heat Exchanger – Seamless integration with the factory cooling system
Standalone Water Pump – Ensures continuous and efficient coolant circulation
High-Performance Radiator – Effectively lowers the PTU’s operating temperature
Coolant Reservoir – Provides sufficient capacity for consistent cooling performance
Precision-Matched and Durable Coolant Piping – Designed for long-lasting reliability
Electric Installation with ON/OFF Switch – Allows complete manual control over the cooling system
Wiring Relocation Kit – Creates space for the new installation
Professional-Grade Mounting Components – Ensures system stability

The pump automatically starts and stops with the engine, and an additional switch allows full control over the system, enabling drivers to turn it off during cold weather or low-intensity driving.

By ensuring optimal cooling for your Ford Focus RS Mk3, you can enjoy worry-free driving, even under the harshest conditions. This is a solution that many companies, including Mishimoto, have attempted to create but have yet to develop a complete package.


Key Facts About the Ford Focus RS Mk3 AWD System

The AWD system of the Ford Focus RS Mk3 consists of two main components:

🔹 Power Transfer Unit (PTU) – Located at the front
🔹 Rear Drive Unit (RDU) – Located at the rear

The most common reason for AWD system failure is overheating of the PTU or RDU. During intensive track driving, the PTU typically overheats first, causing the ECU to disengage the rear differential to reduce strain on the system.

Repeated testing has also shown that the RDU tends to overheat during aggressive drifting, donut sessions, or gymkhana-style driving. Interestingly, the RDU does not have a dedicated temperature sensor; instead, the ECU calculates a virtual oil temperature based on various factors such as:

🔹 PTU temperature
🔹 Steering angle
🔹 G-force readings
🔹 Throttle and brake inputs
🔹 Wheel slip data

During tests, a temperature sensor was installed in the RDU, confirming that the ECU’s calculated oil temperature is highly accurate.


Who Needs a PTU Cooler?

If you want to significantly extend the AWD system’s durability during high-performance driving, an active PTU cooling system is essential.

However, if your goal is drifting or gymkhana-style driving, a more comprehensive solution is recommended, including:
An active RDU cooling system
Software modifications for the RDU (programming adjustments)


Installation Process:

✔ Remove the front bumper
✔ Remove underbody panels and engine splash guards
✔ Remove the left headlight
✔ Disconnect coolant hoses between the engine and PTU
✔ Seal off the engine coolant circuit leading to the PTU
✔ Install the water pump, coolant reservoir, and radiator
✔ Connect all components with coolant hoses
✔ Wire and install electrical components
Optional: Relocate the ON/OFF switch


Maximize Your Driving Potential

If you truly want to use your Ford Focus RS Mk3 for its intended purpose, don’t let overheating ruin your experience. Upgrade with the PTU cooling system today and enjoy uninterrupted AWD performance!

Planeerides oma projekti - ECU valik

Milline juhtmoodul valida?

Mootorijuhtimissüsteemi planeerimine on oluline samm teie sõiduki jõudluse optimeerimisel. Allpool on toodud mõned olulised kaalutlused ja ressursid, mis aitavad teil oma projekti edukalt ellu viia.

Paigaldusvõimalused

Enne Link ECU ostmist on oluline mõelda, kuidas see paigaldatakse. Valida saab PlugIn ja WireIn ECU-de vahel:

  • PlugIn ECU-d: Lihtne paigaldada, kui teie sõiduk vastab täpselt ECU spetsifikatsioonidele. Need asendavad tehase ECU-d ja kasutavad olemasolevat juhtmestikku.

  • WireIn ECU-d: Nõuavad rohkem juhtmestikutööd ja on sobilikud unikaalsete või tugevalt modifitseeritud mootorite jaoks. Paigaldamine võib vajada professionaali abi.

Töövoog ja eelarvestamine

Projekti maksumus sõltub mitmest tegurist, sealhulgas ECU tüübist, juhtmestikust, lisaseadmetest ning paigaldus- ja häälestuskuludest. Oluline on koostada detailne eelarve, mis hõlmab kõiki vajalikke komponente ja teenuseid. Link ECU-de eeliseks on see, et kõik mootorijuhtimise funktsioonid on algusest peale saadaval ilma lisatasudeta. Lisaks on PC Link tarkvara tasuta allalaaditav ja kasutatav.

Koostöö häälestajatega

Kogenud häälestaja võib aidata teil valida sobiva ECU, paigaldada selle ning optimeerida teie mootori jõudlust. Enne häälestajaga kontakteerumist on kasulik teada oma auto täpset mudelit, tehtud modifikatsioone ja olemasoleva juhtmestiku seisukorda. Häälestaja oskab anda hinnangu tööde maksumusele ja ajakavale.

Järgmised sammud:

  • Õige ECU valimine: Tutvuge erinevate Link ECU mudelitega ja valige oma vajadustele vastav seade.

  • Edasimüüja leidmine: Ametlikud edasimüüjad saavad pakkuda professionaalset nõu ja teenuseid.

  • ECU kasutamise alustamine: Pärast paigaldust ja häälestamist on oluline tutvuda ECU kasutusjuhendiga ning vajadusel küsida täiendavat tuge.
