Got a quote from another dealer for an EGR flush of £408.00 they also quoted £1709.00 to replace EGR, I am going to ask the first dealer to quote to replace EGR.
I'm afraid the Santa doesn't understand the issue because in his sledge the EGR cooler is bypassed during the season.

I had the same code recently, garage I took the van to reckoned readings didn’t suggest a clogged EGR, on further investigation he found a split in the EGR to exhaust manifold rear pipe which he replaced along with new gaskets. He did show me the part complete with split.
Time will tell but so...
To conclude this post/issue...
I bit the bullet and bought the genuine VW cooler, bolts and gaskets (just the heat exchanger, not the EGR valve unit) £310 delivered.
Removed the old unit, separated the cooler and rigged up a bench test: it failed: it was leaking somewhere inside.
Rebuilt the...
As per Dellmassive's post, what engine have you got in your Shuttle?
The EGR is supposed to recycle (some of the) exhaust gases before they go through the DPF. I also believe that it has a job in controlling temperature of the gas and prompting DPF regen. A lot of people will tell you to have...
I spoke with a pro egr delete guy called Matt at UKCC auto techs. I'm still not convinced it's the best idea, but he was sure it wouldn't have anything other issues with adblue or dpf as he says they are unrelated.
Said he's done 100s. Sales pitch most likely . I'm Brighton based
VW Preston said nothing, they don't care as the is no warranty now. Had the egr delete done when a fault light came up saying egr low flow. It was done at 120k by Chris @Dav-Tec, it's just a remap but with no extra power just the egr written out. The new @Dav-tec van map is so much smoother...
I'm also noticing similar with my 2019 Kombi. EGR pipe replaced last October. Drove it all winter with no codes appearing. Now bit of warmer weather & P0401 code is back.
Hi all,
Just a quick one I'm not with my van at the moment but I've already blanked off the EGR gas pipes and thinking I'll bypass the coolant also just in case it wears through. Does anyone know the size of this blue connector piece? I'll grab one on the way home.
Also looking to add an oil...
Hi fitted my new Egr but in vcds I could only see adaptation of Egr vacuum couldn’t see anything about Egr adaptation on its own this my options under engine basic settings sorry about the poor pic thanks
Rubbish. Two years ago almost. EGR blocked and mapped out and at the same time new VW DPF, one year on the old engine and a year on the new one. I am getting between c125m and 250m between regens depending what I am up to
