Welcome to the forum.Hi all, newbie here. Having spent the last few weeks since picking up my van trawling the forum (much to my wife’s dismay) it’s great to see so much knowledge and advice being shared. So far you’ve made me buy:
- 235/65/17 wild peaks on the devonport wheels
- h7 caravelle lights upgrade from standard h4
- gladen t6 speaker upgrade
- Carista for programming headlights and a few other nice little tweaks
It’s been a fun few weeks, until the weekend when I came across the egr pipe posts after being convinced I could hear a hiss. No surprise the front one was absolutely caked in soot so that got replaced but couldn’t quite detect any issues with the rear one, but the noise hasn’t gone and it smells under the bonnet on regen. Got the wife’s phone in there Tonight and spotted this (attached pic) on the underside. Is that 3 small holes with soot deposits in the ribbed section bottom left or do I have confirmation bias ?! It’s the original pipe and the van has 50k miles (17 plate) so probably due to be replaced with the revised part anyways.
Glad to part of the money pit club

Not sure on the EGR picture, they all smell on Regen so don't think that has any bearing on it.
Any dash lights? If not then I would say all is good.
