I found something…….
When I bought the new o ring for turbo to charge air pipe, I also bought a new gasket for egr outlet into inlet manifold…..
I took the pipe off, and noticed a black cob of muck, cleaned it back and found a brased repair to a hole. Looks like it’s been leak too as this pic...
Hi I had a split egr rear pipe and my T6 was out of warranty I spoke directly to VW Head Office to explain the situation and to bring it to there attention that it was a safety issue as fumes where entering the Cab and I was really happy that they agreed to do it for free under warranty.
While oil leakes are not covered. Which I think is a bit bad really.
They all in extended warranty is still worth considering.
We've had dual mass flyer wheel, EGR cooler, EGRpipe, all replaced under warranty.
Over £2k worth of work.
Hi. Last time I tried to buy parts for my local TPS dealer (Cheadle Stockport) was sent away as I’m not “trade” - although I’m a limited company.
Can anyone recommend a better branch who wants my money? I need a EGR flexi pipe at some point soon
Thanks
I am looking at the rear egr valve (as best I can) It looks like it it is the new style pipe (fatter with the rough rather than smooth exterior). Whereas the front pipe looks pretty shiny (as does the egr valve) the back pipe is dark brown/black colour. I think I am getting fumes in the cab...
There could be a leaking egrpipe which is more noticeable when on regeneration. Advice is to allow the regeneration to complete rather than repeatedly interrupting the process.
Selling a rear EGRpipe and gaskets / bolts for a euro 6 engine.
New revised design.
Selling on behalf of someone who is no longer a T6 owner, and isn't on the forum.
Looking for £80 posted, a quick google shows these have gone up quite a bit, so good excuse for a bargain.

Hey n10b, it’s been doing it since before I changed the EGR plus new reinforced pipe. I could smell it in the cab sometimes.
Now no more smell and CO meter shows reading of zero.
I don’t have heated windscreen.
It doesn’t handle badly but these stock shocks aren’t factory fresh with 145,000km...
Ask if your van has the updated EGRpipes fitted, they were modified increase the exhaust gas flow.
Plus check for split EGRpipes at the flexible bellows, you’ll see photos here EGR flexi-pipe: Exhaust Fumes In Cab, Hissing From Engine Bay.
Plus as I asked on post #2. Can you smell exhaust...
...yesterday 150bhp with 90k. Whooshing and loss of power, then coil light flashing and whooshing stopped but limp home. Garage found the front EGRpipe flange braze had failed. Did some stainless steel weld on it and it seems as good as new, no pressure loss and no further faults. Very helpful...
My van’s been in for investigation today about the ongoing coolant loss. A different garage has stuck a camera in the new EGR and found it contains water. There is apparently a service bulletin that requires some new modified bits when fitting an EGR or it risks over heating the EGR and...
Hi folks
Thought I'd replace the front Flexi pipe as it was looking a bit sooty and I've got low flow messages.
To my surprise, the end fitted to what I think is the EGR cooler, has a blanking plate fitted across it.
Behind it is a big fat pile of exhaust sludge. I'm guessing this engine...
So, yesterday I got bored so I whipped off the front EGRpipe at the EGR cooler end, with that off I could clearly see the soot was moist, not the dried / caked on soot I saw when I changed the pipe 2 years ago. I used my bore scope and sent it down into the cooler and what should I find...
I’d take a Revo over a Piddle remap all day long, tried and tested on 100’s of 204’s.
The injectors are the last of your worries on a 204, egr valve, egr cooler, dpf, crank seal, flexi-pipe will all self-destruct before the injectors ;)
...if it was a CFCA with a Tafmet kit, it isn’t.
As far as I’m aware there is no way to disable the EGR without a software modification and possibly some EGRpipe blanking plates as the valve will almost certainly be leaking.
You will probably need to track down the previous owner to get the...
