Making a separate post just for this, hoping someone can help me with some shortcuts.

Before removing the EGR valve to clean or replace, seems like a good idea to first check for wiring or earth faults?
Found this very good video, for a similar vehicle and faults, but it has done...

At over 300,000km oil consumption has gotten out of control so time to replace engine.

Looking around was able to source locally a 140kw diesel engine out of a Tiguan that had less than 27,000km so i bit the bullet and went for it. new engine came with inlet manifold, exhaust manifold,...

Hi all
Would love to get advice on EGR delete and Remap for 2011 2lt biturbo 4 motion transporter and anyone around NSW area that has experience with this or what problems can arise.

After noticing fluctuations in water and oil temps, from normal to cooler, decided to let my fingers do the walking.
It appears that the EGR thermostat on CASA engine ( not on earlier v6, eg. BKS ) could well be the culprit.
Hypothetically speaking, does anyone know if the EGR cooler is...

Morning all,

I've had my MY14 B7 TDI pretty much since new. It's now up to 170k. It's been pretty reliable - from memory I've had some suspension stuff (replaced with Bilsteins), a water pump failure around 90k so they also did the timing. It's had the engine warning light on for a while...

Our 2.0 FSI was coughing or stumbling at random times today, so I removed the EGR valve cover and sure enough there were broken teeth on the black plastic "half-wheel" cog. I'd replaced the "full-wheel" cog last year with a new, improved one from Germany which was easy enough, but...

Have recently been asked to bring my T6 Transporter in for a factory recall & was advised that it's for the EGR software update. I only have 2 more months of warranty remaining & the car has been trouble free & going great for the past 3 1/2 years apart from an ABS sensor light on the dash....

The very Kind Engine Engineers made the EGR pipe so easily accessible, I had to fit a reducer..

So far So good, no ECM light. Tried to upload a pic, not allowing me.

I reckon I halved the hole size in the stainless steel gasket, where the EGR pipe bolts to the Cooler. ...

Hi. Does the EGR unit need to be removed when removing the gearbox in a 2011 Amarok?

My crankshaft position sensor failed and when the mechanic tried to remove it he stripped the bolt . To be able to get the bolt out and replace the sensor the only option was to remove the gearbox...

HI All,

Always worked on my cars, now in an Amarok 2017.

Just replaced my EGR cooler after noticing a slight water leak and the orange engine light came on, did a quick diagnostic and it pointed to EGR so assumed it was the cooler. Looking for more info on how to bleed the...

Hi all,
First time poster here (but I've lurked about a bit over the years!). We've got a couple of VW's, a Mk6 Golf and a B7 (2013) Passat Alltrack. Both have served us really well for several years and are lovely cars to drive, but just lately things have gone a bit pear shaped and I'm keen...

Hello All,
Was driving on a long route and the solid engine light came on. Checked with my basic code reader got a code

P0401 – 000- Insufficient Flow – Intermittent on the EGR system.
Cleared the code and the code did not return

Several weeks later on another...

Read a couple of opinions that its not a bad option to get a EGR delete done - thoughts

Ladies and Gents,

As promised in the intro thread, i'm here for your sage wisdom.

Car is a Mk5 2.0 TDi with the BKD engine.

Scenario is - i had removed the EGR valve for a cleanup, and when i replaced it the car wouldnt run at anything more than idle.
...

Hi All.

Anyone have any comments or experience with blanking off the EGR port, or maybe even just reducing the exhaust gas flow, to slow down or eliminate the interior of inlet mainfold becoming a nightmare of blackness and dark evil....!
