What revision cooler do you have? If pre-D, you could always pre-emptively upgrade the cooler. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The EU5 engine was from the previous generation. ( And has a different engine code)
The cfca was/is from the EU6 generation.
As above the EGR issue related to one specific engine.... The cfca.
Edit:
Or has my brain turned too jelly after a very long day at work and a flat of red, or two... Have I got the detail wrong... To tired too check ATM.

You need to get the engine code to be sure...
It's on the build list.
One the build sticker under the dash.
On the timing belt cover.
And other online places via the reg number.

That looks like, eng code CFCA to me.
...
And you have a rev D EGR cooler.
So you should be good. You have a later revision.

Thank you very much everyone for all your help, Very happy to have joined the forum
Hi, after reading this I thought I had better check my van it is a Sportline t5.1 (I know you are all T6er's) I have had the van from new in 2013 and just checked my EGR cooler it is an "A" suffix. The van has only done 23000 miles (yep really, I very seldom use it)
So the piece of string question is
Should I replace it asap or just keep a very watchful eye on it

Please replace!Should I replace it asap or just keep a very watchful eye on it
you have a CFCA engine.
and a REV-A cooler.
that will destroy your engine. !!! - as per the problem with CFCA engines and coolers pre-RevD
as @mmi says. . .
you need to replace that EGR cooler immediately with the newer REV-D or newer version.
if you dont it will destroy you engine.

2016 180 Bi turbo CFCA engine failure is the EGR valve corrosion the cause of the scored and worn out bores
Hi all Just stripped down and rebuilt the engine on a 2016 T6 180 bi-turbo CFCA engine after it failed on the A557 heading for Widnes originally had the van recovered to VW van center Liverpool for repair as I thought it was just a failed injector. After a couple of weeks, they said it had no...

Evening guys and girls
I’ve been reading thro all the different posts regarding the numerous issues with the 204 bitdi and decided to dig thro the paperwork I received as well as checking for the sticker under the dash. I’ll attach the pic of the sticker as well as a service/repair report I’ve come across. Please could someone (far more knowledgable than me) has a look and see if I should have any concerns? The van does seem to be using more coolant than I’m comfortable with. ie filling the coolant every 1000 miles. I’ve checked the oil usage (warm engine) and that doesn’t seem to have changed at all

And then cooling system is a closed circuit, there is no need to top anything up.
If you are then you have a leak.... Possibly the EGR cooler. You need to get the van looked at.. they will normally pressure test the coolant system to find the leak.
See more about the CXEB thread... Possible engine wear issues as well.
