Mine will do a regen when there is less than a quarter of a tank in. 2017 204.
I can only ever smell the regen if I’m outside the van-even when stationary.
Deffo check the egrpipes for a split.
How about EGR cooler? It also would bring coolant into intake manifold. Have you checked inside of the EGRpipe in front of the engine (yellow arrow in the picture)
Agree with Paul, let it regen if the fans are running after the engine has stopped you've interrupted the regeneration cycle.
Check the EGR hard pipe at the back of the engine. Common issue for them to split on the corrugated section near the flange that bolts onto the exhaust side
Hi to all,
Firstly I must apologise as I started a thread on the egrpipe before finding this one. I don’t know how to delete or merge.
As I had said my rear pipe had split right on the 30k miles. I was quoted by the dealer £595 to replace.
I now have my replacement with washers, screws etc and...
I've been quoted £245, fitted, by a local independent VW specialist, which seems reasonable based on the prices I can find for the genuine parts online (anywhere from £150 to £200).
I do have one of the easier to work on vans, but would need to buy the right spline tools for the job, so probably...
New to VCDS. Suspect I may have a EGR/cooler/link pipe issue, but no conclusive relevant engine fault codes yet. Sometimes nearly stalls and drops into limp and occassionally can stall but then flashing glow plug light clears on restart. Thought would run the test and post to compare results to...
I’ve now had 2 quotes but no one has completely confirmed the issue. Just quoted to replace both EGRpipes.
I’m struggling to get anywhere with diagnosis and I’m laid up with COVID which sucks.
My local specialist, as I’ve stated, wants £500, though I’ve gone back to them to see if they can cut...
I changed my 204 egr and you need to drain the coolant, there are so many pipes you should expect a drop in coolant level afterwards even with vacuum filling.
Top it up and recheck every few days. You shouldn't have to refill too much. Take note of how much you put in. If it's more...
Yes. The Darkside Dev blanking plates were too thick to slide in and retain the pipes. I’ve considered getting the pipes welded/blocked off and refitting them so it looks OEM. Just not gotten round to it. Mot due September. So times ticking.
Exhaust Manifold To egr inlet pipe, I bought one of these from Vw parts centre in Liverpool on Friday, and it was surprisingly cheap at just £27!
The bloke on the desk said they sell lots of these, it’s a common failure, hence having the part, the gaskets and new bolts in stock on the shelf...
From experience a leak on the EGRpipes of exhaust manifold can trigger the control not reached fault as it's not building enough boost or dropping off to fast. Under hard load the turbo makes more boost than is escaping under light throttle very little boost any way.
I'd start with resolving...
It looks like you have two threads running on this, maybe one of the Moderators could merge them?
It’s possible that one or both of the EGRpipes are heavily fouled.
If the engine is consuming excess oil it will create soot and block the EGR and DPF.
How much oil are you adding and at how many...
