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.

I have checked the egrpipes as best I can for leaks, no smell, nothing obvious.
Am I right in thinking this could be the valve not opening sufficiently?
If physically blocking/blanking the EGR is a 'good' thing, then why would an insufficiently low flow of egr...
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...
...at about 17% so that seems good and regen occurs at the usual 30g or so level then works it’s way down to lower than 6g then stops….calculated stays low and measured jumps up then regens again within a few minutes/ miles!
This is about 700 miles after a new turbo and egrpipe as previously...
Fumes in cab wasnt great either
: EGR flexi-pipe: Exhaust Fumes In Cab, Hissing From Engine Bay.
that was the EGR flex pipe at the rear of the engine.
a git to get off, but all covered under warranty . .

...long time.
For those that have had it done has the DPF been fine after getting the EGR mapped out?
It occurs to me that after blanking the EGRpipes and running it like that for a few years it would be really stupid to then unblank the EGR again as the cooler will probably be a corroded mess...
So... latest and hopefully last update for a while :oops:
Wife took the van in, headed off to softplay with our 2- year old and told the guy :
"I don't want a call to say 'you've cleared the code, she's good to go'- we are taking this van to France in a month I want it fixed...this van is our...
During "normal" running only engine braking turns off the recirculation (on hot engine) - all other times recirculating.
An example plot here:

During active DPF regeneration the EGR won't recirculate...
Just up date guys
Replaced the intake manifold cleaned out to inlet ports of carbon as best as possible and Egrpipe checked valves using bore scope could see no damage. Built it all back up road test over 100 kms went well full power no faults. Time will tell if there’s anything else causing...
So I’ve had my T6 into a well known VAG Tuners in Glasgow for some diagnostic testing on why I was intermittently having the glow plug light up and flashing. The issue appears to be the EGR valve needs either replacing with associated pipes cleaned out too or to have the EGR deleted and coded...

I totally agree not all garages. I like it but when you’re spending good money to buy a premium van, you at least expect a premium service like you received.
...owned it since new, had the dreaded egr valve replaced on it and ever since then it has had an acidic smell when getting in the van the next day , its not to noticeable when driving but very bad when left over night and getting in the next day , any thoughts ? cracked egrpipe ? please help...
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
If you get it done make sure they replace the front egrpipe, it’s a new design - there’s a post on here somewhere with good pictures showing the difference between the old one and the new one
