It can be reported to DVLA as a safety issue, if enough people fill out the simple form and upload it could trigger a safety recall.

Mine is a 2017 102bhp (was), will i need to order any gaskets with the new egr pipe ? Thanks

 

[Phil_j89]

Yes, you'll need the gaskets as well as the replacement pipe, the new egr pipe is a different design.. so you shouldn't have any future issues.

Hi, Guys and Gals,
I have the famous exhaust smell in my Van.
So I felt down behind the EGR and sure enough the elbow pipe was split.
I have done a temporary repair for now.
But I am having problems sourcing a new one.
Part no. 04L 131 521 H V 252.
Can anyone tell me where to get a replacement ?
Cheers,
Pete.

Hi I got a 04L 131 521 BH from ebay.
This fault should be a VW recall !
The new one should last a bit longer !

I think the fumes have given you the shakes

It probably would be a recall if it was reported correctly, it’s a simple process. If enough people do it.

I got mine sorted under warranty a year or so ago. I can't remember what the fault was but had fumes in cabin occasionally on start up.

EGR flexi-pipe: Exhaust Fumes In Cab, Hissing From Engine Bay.

Looking at the access its a pig of a job! I have the 204 engine so access isn't so easy Took me a whole day to do. Still not sure the bolts are quite tight enough but seems to be ok. My hands took a right beating. There’s something back there a bit lower down too that looked like the oil...

Hey guys,

Got the fumes problem and symptoms similar to others described. Though mine is with a hissing sound under the car.

I can smell the fumes especially when the AC is OFF.

It's a 2017 DSG 204PS 4Motion Ocean with 42k miles done...

Was the issue already marked as a recall?

Thanks,
Lakis

No recal AFAIK.

Just a revised replacement part.

You can buy from TPS, or dealer and fit yourself.

Or get a local indy to help.

Not to hard to do with a tiny ratchet, just awkward. (That's how the VW silver van guy done mine)

Thanks - will get it sorted myself as seem like an easy job!

To confirm it's a EGR pipe right?

Much appreciated!
