There’s load# of possibilities for the cause and cure. Have you had the fault codes read since this recent issue?Hi I’ve had the gas recirc code on for quite a while with no issues with regards to power etc. last week though I was driving home over 80mile at speed and a mile from the house it went into limp mode with the engine light and also flashing glow plug. Since then it’s cut out a few times when I first rev and it appears to be a little bit more sluggish.
The garage suspect it’s the EGR id like to know my options and where is best to get this resolved ? I see these as my potential options.
Replace EGR pro and cons ?
Delete EGR but does the DPf need doing also and what about the MOT etc and where is best to get this resolved I live in Lancashire.
What’s are the potential costs for either ?
By the way it’s a 2018 T6 204
Any advice is appreciated thank you
@Ali-G any issues post deleted? Appreciate it has been a few years.
Hi Tim. Just thinking about getting this done to my van. Did you have your EGR removed physically or software deleted only? And have you had any issues since getting it done in 2020?Definitely a lot better the guy who remapped it back in January. Said the van will feel like it's quit smoking and he was right so smooth. I suppose there is an increase in MPG but I don't really keep tabs on it. He said it might regen more frequent but haven't noticed any difference. I still can't believe how fast these vans are.
EGR map out and block on an old BiTDI 180 and now anew engine and turbo's for 7k miles with no issues. EGR work shouldnt be noticed in an MOT. When the DPF needs replacing that will go and be mapped out.Hi Tim. Just thinking about getting this done to my van. Did you have your EGR removed physically or software deleted only?

Hi, I had EGR software delete, no issues still running sweetHi Tim. Just thinking about getting this done to my van. Did you have your EGR removed physically or software deleted only? And have you had any issues since getting it done in 2020?
Oh wow that’s interesting.Hi, I had EGR software delete, no issues still running sweet
Oh wow that’s interesting.
How about your DPF? Did you have that removed too?
And I take it no MOT issues by having the EGR deleted?
No issues on MOT (my van is automatic)Oh wow that’s interesting.

Hi AndySo 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 out. What they are saying though is they can’t guarantee that there won’t be emissions issues in the future, they say they have done others without comeback but they have to say that as up front info. Has anyone had emission issues following their EGR being blanked and coded out? I have a 204ps Shuttle 65 plate T6 with 49k miles with FVWSH.
Hiya mate.Hi Andy
I have similar probs with my 68 plate did you ever get your issues sorted?
Did you opt for blanking off the Egr cooler?

Last week my T6.1 engine light came on and code was EGR insufficient flow. But van did not go to limp mode. I was in Albania and stopped at a garage than services german cars. They removed EGR cooker and pump assembly. It was filthy. Mainly cooler part. They soaked in magic fluid ( break fluid I think) and it came out spotless. After reassembly and pressure tests done I drove off and after 50kms the warning light self cleared . 150 euros. Good for another 150000 miles. Taking out this bit of the engine is not rocket science. Any good mechanic can do it in a few hours. Cleaning is simple stuff. Don’t be conned by your dealer. Fix it.As far as the engine goes, I think an EGR delete would be worth it post extended warranty..
