Hello. Are you have nr of this parts? I can’t find any places.(
EGR flexi-pipe: Exhaust Fumes In Cab, Hissing From Engine Bay.
- Thread starter Tourershine
- Start date
Does anyone have the part numbers for these 4 bolts please? I've got the numbers for the gaskets and pipe, but can't find the bolt part numbers. Dont want to risk doing the job and realising the old bolts are knackered and VW won't give me the part numbers unless I buy from them, but at their new inflated prices, I cant afford it!
Top man!!! Thanks very much!!!

Thankful for this forum and this thread! I’ve got that hissy leaking EGR pipe too!
By some stroke of luck, a tuning guy working on my car had one randomly in his van (brand new) sent by accident when he was repairing a Crafter! He gave it to me for nothing .
Now to get bolts, gaskets, some splines and replace
Well I changed the rear EGR pipe. (CXEB 204 BiTdi)
What a nightmare of a job! Had to buy some different length spline bits and a dumpy ratchet.
Moved the pipe clips round, as they took the skin off the back of my hand, so that helped a bit, dropped one of the exhaust-end bolts down into a crevice on top of the gearbox next to the g/b oil cooler, I found it with my DEPSTECH camera but the bolt turned out to be non-magnetic so couldn't retrieve it with my telescopic magnet, so had to order a little grabber tool to get that back!
Used the camera to get the spline bits into the bolts and eventually got the ratchet onto the small extension bar and got them all out.
was a bit of a fiddle getting all 4 bolts back into the new pipe but eventually I got it done. Slid a tube over the 3/8 ratchet to get a bit more leverage to nip them up, the torque is only 20NM so just about doable.
I would like to put my boot up the arse of the bloke who thought that was a good design!

CXHA engine 15 minute job at the most, there is a bit of a knack to getting to the bolts. Have to be honest I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get to.
*Disclaimer I am used to working on engines with far less space.
Tip for it 1/4 drive ratchet with a long bit and socket will get to all of the bolts. The 2 at the rear of the engine require a bit of contortion to reach but on the scale of things aren't to bad and just as obvious but so often missed a bit of penetration oil will make it easier ( that's what she said
)

Same here, quite a bit better too!
Its being replaced today at the same time as having its MOT at 72K
Afternoon all, I'm next in line for bit of Flexi pipe, had a bit of hissing which I thought was normal, only had van 2 months now, but then got a P20EE fault, a bit of googling suggested it could be linked, got the old phone down the back and noticed the pipe has been welded!! I'm guessing the pipe split and this was cheaper fix.
Getting sorted tomorrow, was quoted £120 fitted, then he realised it was DSG and a slightly different pipe and now £160.
I haven't had the fumes in the cabin smell yet and the van is on 58k, 2016 150
