Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

  • Question about EGR Valve

    Is it normal for sludge/oil to come out of the two holes on the EGR Valve just below the diaphragm?

    No.

    It's stuffed.

      Had the car throw the CEL on Thursday and when I scanned it the error was insufficient EGR Flow.
      Hopefully that's what it is.

        Yep, that'd be it.

        Chances are, it'll be blocked too.

          Funny thing about it Umai is I cleaned it at 105k and it was spitting spooge out of the holes back then.
          Now its at 155k and it's thrown the code and when I pulled it of today it was still clean.
          Just a light covering of spooge that washed of with some brake cleaner.
          I was expecting it would be coked up like it was at 105k (well at least half as much).
          It's like the Valve hasn't been working since I cleaned it.
          I will go into work and get a valve tomorrow and put it on.

            Went into work on Saturday and got an EGR Valve off a 1.9 BKC engine, gave it a clean and fitted it and all is good now.
            Also fitted a new battery on Saturday and F me it's got some cranking power.
            You just have to breath on the key and it fires up.
