The EGR blanking plates could be placed at either end of the EGR pipes but it you want the best protection against a split pipe they should be placed so that the pipes are isolated along with the EGR unit.

Hi, thanks for the reply, would that account for intermittent smoke or would it cause constant smoke?

...insufficient flow error came up a few weeks ago. cleared with CArista, and did not come back. May have gone on for another few thousand miles, but as the van is a keeper, did not want it causing any more related issues. edit: the egr pipe cracked and was replaced on a service a year or two ago.

Did I miss something? I too was unaware of the differences in speed limits before I joined this esteemed forum. I was also unaware of EGR pipe splits, particulate filters, blingy wheels, dual bucket washing methods, the performance benefits of strategically placed go-faster stripes and...

If you can smell exhaust gases under the bonnet or in the van there’s a problem. The cracked EGR pipes on certain engines is well documented in the Forum, have a Search with ‘EGR pipe’

Is it definitely not the EGR pipe?

Suspension / wobbly drive would be my guess as well. But check for split egr pipe although most report exhaust smell in the cab. Heated windscreen was a pretty good guess as well, I don’t have one so don’t know how visible the grid is.

That seems a bit odd, the rear EGR pipe (feed to EGR) connects on the far left side of the exhaust manifold and is nowhere near either turbocharger?

when you had the AB deleted, what did they do with the DPF? - open up and turn into through pipe? and have you still got a working EGR?

Sorry to start another post but can’t find the answer I’m looking for. When on boost/ under load my van has started to make a loud whistle. I have noticed for a while that it did have a bit of a hiss but on Sunday when going up hill with foot down the noise changed all of a sudden to a whistle...

After having the rear EGR pipe replaced a few weeks ago everything had been fine. Van started & completed a regen earlier today, I had Carista plugged in and the P0401 message returned but showed as Pending. No engine warning light though…not sure why? As in is it normal to show on Carista...

Hi I've got a VW t6 102 and have a couple of issues. I recently had my egr replaced as it was blocked. since this work was carried out I have an engine fault for egr low flow. I've also noticed when I rev my engine and let the revs die off it makes a noise around the airfilter housing like a...

It’s just mapped out and left in place. The blanking plates stop any exhaust gases leaking past the egr valve. The coolant still passes through. For MOT purposes it looks factory. Mine has passed a couple of MOTs since we put it to sleep.

I’ve just seen this and have changed the rear eye pipe and from research I realised the bolts aren’t Torx head they’re splined, if you use a torx bit you’ll likely slip and knacker the bolt. Then the job will be, err, a f——ing nughtmare. Use the correct tools and liberally spray the bolts with...

Excellent shout there, always learning.

@Dellmassive add mine to the list too. 2017 CXEB, 102k miles. This discussion has been very useful and has helped me to diagnose some issues with my 2017 204. It's just done 102k miles, and has been religiously serviced by VW since new. It's used daily as the work van and regularly does mixed...

I raised the health and safety issue direct with VW (0800 333666) and got nowhere with making the point that VW have clearly recognized the egr design fault because the replacement pipe is far sturdier. It seems that breathing in carbon monoxide etc because of the faulty original pipe is not...

The EGR valve is still fitted but I've removed and blanked the pipe before it, the one with the corrugated part at the back of the engine that normally cracks. The pipe itself was fairly clogged (but not cracked) and so was the valve from what I could see. The hissing was there before and after...

How do you identify a crack in the EGR pipe? Can you hear it, smell it, see it?

Had this fault come up last month and checked out by AA vw specialist, it's ran ok for 850miles and now back up.... obviously have searched and understand it's insufficient flow but took a pic of the values on his test and wondered if the readings give any indication that a flush may help..? Or...
