Just wanted to give a quick update on this previous post….
Recently I took my van for a service and MOT (this being it’s first MOT since the above EGR and ADBLUE ‘solution’) and I’m happy to say it sailed through the MOT with no advisories at all…. just a nice compliment on my van from the MOT...
oil level was way too high, - maybe it was overfilled, thats an easy fix. which you done. ( cheap easy fix, but keep an eye on the level to make sure its not going up again, from coolant or diesel in the oil, what the water level too.)
leak in crank seal/pump - this will leak oil, so can you...
So they have now sent me a video with a health check and after 67000 miles i have:
1. EGRpipe has split causing the flashing coil light issue- don't think that is covered under warranty
2. That caused a DPF soot build up and needs a service regen. i’ll have look at that cos it was at 46g when...
Future larger troubles on the horizon.......
I have a 2016 euro 6 204 4m dsg with a pendle remap.
Other night after starting and driving for a minute the glowplug light started flashing, I had to pick something up so engine off then on and everything fine for the next hour on the...
Got my van back today, EGR link pipe (which was split) has been replaced, EGR cooler replaced, no mention to whether the valve had been replaced or cleaned. Running alot better anyway.
Welcome!
Fumes in cab could be a splitEGRpipe. Have a read of this…

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 ...
Good question. I just couldn't work out why there was a whooshing noise on acceleration.
I checked the EGRpipes and couldn't find any split as there was no sign of black soot or fumes into the cabin.
I checked the MAF sensor and couldn't find any fault and so took it for another opinion and...
Cheers buddy. Glad to here your happy with the results. Fred truly is a master at his craft. It's why I use him.
Your EGRpipe was testing to say the least but I've found a better solution following on from that and a chat with Fred
The TSi doesn’t have a dpf, adblue, egr etc, in the UK it’s only available as a 204hp, maybe different elsewhere in the EU.
My 204 diesel has been fine, but I run premium fuel, Millers Ecomax and regular oil/filter changes.
The only problem in 3 years has been the egr flexi pipesplitting.
Mine is still in, can’t flush EGR again as was flushed less than 4wk ago. They’ve replaced the split link pipe, still no word on EGR replacement though. Now they’ve advised they are still discussing with vw technical as to the coolent loss issue...
Interesting read this, mine is currently under investigation for the loss of coolant after it's just had the EGR link pipe (split) and valve changed. Still don't have it back yet though.
wow that is so familiar!!!!!! , yes please keep me in the loop and I will update you also. DM me by all means or on this thread for everyone else's benefit
going round in circles with complaint
VW Customer "don't" Care. Claims handler has no grasp of the issue and problems and the madness of...
