Rear EGR pipe

[leakywindows]

Hi all, my 2018 kombi is booked in next week to have a cracked rear EGR pipe replaced, am I right in thinking that VW updated the pipe and made it stronger? I’ve seen genuine ones costing about £30 and £160, want to make sure the mechanic puts the right one on, as the labour is the expensive bit, thanks in advance.

I would have thought that by now all the OEM ones that are available are the "updated" version, like:

This is brilliant, cheers all.

This is a VERY common failure in the T6

OEM pipes are all the updated ones,

cheaper options may be old version stock or clones?
