Morning, my van has started making a whooshing noise like air escaping when accelerating, seems to be coming from the left side of the engine bay. No warning lights have come on. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers
Hi Dell, the blocks are identical with a difference in the Wiring loom for me (prob due to parking heater and an extra pump in the water system) the only got ya seems to be the CXEC injectors are different and the Turbos have different EGR outlet tubes to the EGR Valve. (I think the newer...
Think we found the issue… the front egrpipe snapped at the join. Now replaced, codes cleared and seems to be running fine. Surprised the new pipe was only £60 from vw.
Yeah, there's a whole thread here

I've found keeping the heater off means I don't get fumes in the cabin, I can use it with Aircon switched on and it's fine, just not without Aircon switched on...
I changed this MAP sensor that stays on the underside of the IC, it was totally blocked by old oil (see picture) and the mass air flow sensor.
At first it did not helped much, and I planned to also change EGR cooler and clean all pipes but then suddenly it was longer and longer from time to time...
...works normal but dont want to change gear 7, sometimes works perfect and sometimes no.
What I've checked:
Both Turbo
Boost Sensor, one near EGRpipe.
Made DPF off with soft. (test), nothing changes.
Changed Timing belt.
Changed DSG oil and filter.
EGR off (test) , nothing changes.
Tested all...
...camper conversion). Seems most noticeble the day after we've done a long run. Having done some reading here I assumed it was leaking rear EGRpipe. Had VW assist out and the guy's had the pipe off but can't spot a leak anywhere.
To me it does smell more like diesel than exhaust, but not 100%...
Tried soap and water. No bubbles, but can't see the underside of the rear pipe.
Is there anything else that can cause/leak fumes?
Also getting the 'insufficient gas flow' error code
The rear egr is the updated version. Have there been reports of the updated one splitting?
FWIW . . .
I've had both changed under warranty,
front lower engine mount and front main crankshaft oil seal,
and EGR+cooler, and EGR rear pipe
plus a DMF - twice.

Hi @Rabonitez,
Nice van!
I took a kind of middle path. Bought the "PartsTec PTA510-0837" assembly (valve and cooler). And then I went with genuine VW pipes of the latest revision for both the front and the rear, along with new gaskets.
I won't lie. It's quite an extensive and frustrating job...
“Also will replace the pipes as well.”
See post #28 shows the procedure, revised EGRpipe etc.

Edit: the white gunk under the filler suggests it’s been used for short runs recently, where the engine has not reached /...
I have just replaced my rear egrpipe due to a split. The dealer quoted me almost £600 to fix .
As mentioned earlier there is little room to work if you have aircon, aux heater. Lots of pipes etc. which unfortunately is my Cali. I bought the genuine latest upgraded pipe with gaskets and bolts...
Hi my rear EGRpipe is split and I need to source another. Is anyone able to give me a part number. Registration number is T6 CBY. Its a CXHA engine code. I`m hoping its not the one where they give you a choice of 2 part numbers depending on what turbo is fitted as has been reported on before...
So, I am getting the diesel exhaust fume smell in the cab and very strong when I stick my head under the bonnet. My van appears to have the new shape rear pipe.
How easy is it to diagnose a cracked pipe (front or rear)? should you see smoke, be able to feel gas being puffed out? I have had my...
