egr

hi everyone I bought my van with 20,000 miles on it from an independent dealer in Wigan. A week later the EGR light came on. The dealer paid for the EGR to be replaced by my local mechanic to ensure I wouldn’t have further problems. Several months later the light came on again and the EGR...

So my van has a Pendle remap. The EGR valve has died. The garage says they could just do a delete but it’d need mapping out but they can’t do it as my van is already remapped. Is there now way round this or do I have to get a new EGR?

Hi Vw are a waste of time. I believe Vw knew of this fault in the manufacturing and continued to sell these vehicles knowing they had fault .Before I brought vehicle 2 weeks before they delivered there was an update .The vehicle has had the light flashing since I had it on and off. There has...

Rear small EGR modified pipe. Part No V04L131521BH and gaskets. Fitted at 46470miles and removed at 50854miles. Only changed as new modified turbo required different EGR pipe. £50 plus postage.

Hi Got a 67plate highline combi 4 motion 199 engine converted to a camper. 63000 miles 2021 was burning a bit of extra oil for a while until the engine light came on so egr was replaced march 2023 (clutch and fly too). this delay of action and continued driving and topping up was when a family...

So, I've been getting the all too common P046C fault code along with P2457 (Insufficient EGR Cooling Performance). Neither alone will flag a check engine light but combined they sometimes seem to. To try to figure out what is going on, I ran an EGR Flow test on VCDS using instruction from @mmi...

Hi, Just wanting to improve my understanding.. If an EGR Cooler is blanked off.. Will this mean that that the DPF blocks up / blocks up quicker? Also, will the DPF still continue to function as VW intended / function effectively without adversely effecting the engine? Understand that the...

Hey! First post here, was mainly reading until now. Roughly two weeks back I finally got a T6 transporter (CXHA) with 150k on the clock. The van mostly stood still other than the drive back from the dealer (~120km), since I'm preparing it for the conversion. Yesterday on a short drive the...

Hi All. I have an orange light on the dash. Plugged in the trusty reader and it’s showing Erg EGR valve needs cleaning. I have bought a can of wynns erg cleaner but not sure where on the air intake system I should spay ! Can anyone help? I have attached a pic if that helps. Cheers Rob

A lot has been written on this and I've read it all. I thought it might be useful to try to summarise in one spot. I'll break this down into single statements and questions so it's easier to agree/disagree/answer. Please take a read and comment if you think any of this is incorrect. 1. The...

I have a 2018 T6 California which I have owned for approx 2 years. Last summer I started losing large amounts of coolant and it took quite a few months (and the van behaving poorly) before it was diagnosed as being a faulty EGR. This was fixed just before Christmas and everything seemed ok. Then...

So it seems - inevitable P0401. Well, visited a VW garage to be tested - the van had accumulated 30 events in ECU's memory since July 2021 (since 20 months now). Eventually managed turn on the emission light at event number 31 - thus had a priviledge to have EGR flow tested. The result -...

Been told by VW today that my 2016 T6 needs a new EGR Elbow Pipe - and they want £229 inc Could anybody tell me if this is job for a DIY ? Thanks

Hi, Somewhat of a mechanical novice here I’m afraid but wanting to learn. I have an intermittent engine light related to EGR that comes on my T6. I’ve read some of the threads about using spray cleaners and my intention is to get it booked into a garage for a proper job at some point. In the...

Hi guys Had a few of these EGR low flow faults lately on different vehicles. On one vehicle i removed the cooler and tried to clean in but with no luck. The cooler is a bit different so I decided to have a look inside and discovered why you’re wasting your time trying to clean them out. There’s...

So, I have had the EGR assembly removed completely, blanked off and a coolant bypass pipe fitted due to a coolant leak suspected from the EGR cooler. However, despite the tuners efforts I'm assuming a temperature sensor is still being read and needs to be "disabled" perhaps. Would any of you...

help appreciated please. CXGB engine, ca.55k miles. Had rear egr pipe replaced under warranty 2 months ago (hole in it) and now front one has completely come away from its flange - see pic. Sadly warranty expired a month and a half ago! What causes these to go? Material Fatigue? Bursting under...

Hi all, got a major headache with a 2017 T6 EGR…. Cant identify the EGR - can anyone please let me know from the attached drawing which make and model it might be (yellow highlight)? Thanks all, appreciate your help

Had my EGR valve replaced under warranty about 6 weeks ago, went away for a month with work, came back to empty coolant reservoir. Mrs has been driving it whilst I've been away... (scratches and a dent have now appeared also =( but that's for anither thread!) I've subsequently filled it up...

After spending a small fortune (luckily a lot covered by the RAC warranty) fixing numerous issues with my T6 including replacing drive shafts, stub shafts, alternator, front main oil seal etc. my van is finally driving great….. until the engine light came on yesterday when on the M25 after about...
