Got my new pipe fitted the other day. Very fiddly to do but I am quite slim so managed ok, took maybe 1.5hrs. No fume smell in my cab now and probably 7/8 more miles to the gallon. My pipe was split in the same place.

@alt Pull the Safety card on VW, if an electric motor fails in the cab it could emit toxic fumes affecting occupants.

Many thanks - super helpful. There's a drip tray (I think?) under leak so not easy to see. Yes frustrating not done when they replaced DMF and clutch in October. And waste having to put a new cambelt in but I'm going for it since would be nice to have everything right at least intitially!

Not heard of that before, are they sure its not the common cracked egr pipe? Have a read here https://www.t6forum.com/threads/egr-flexi-pipe-exhaust-fumes-in-cab-hissing-from-engine-bay.8076/page-12#post-339098

My front pipe has split on my 2017 T6 150, and getting fumes in the cab now. Has anyone got the part numbers for these?? TIA

IF you get fumes in the cab, it’s most likely that they have been drawn in through a vent or unsealed opening in the body. The heaters are room sealed & heat is transferred via a heat exchanger. You may get a slight “hot” smell when it first fires up, this will be dust on the room side of the...

Another split EGR, and fumes in the cab. Another new EGR was with the courier to be delivered elsewhere for someone else. Clearly a design/manufacturer fault.

Dealer agreed a large discount on replacing the part today. Explained that this was a safety issue, especially as many people may now be suffering from loss of smell so may not detect the fumes in the cab (hay fever knocks out my sense of smell, and what about Covid…!). Clearly a poorly...

I found this thread parked up in a service station googling 'Skyline pop top opening on motorway' It's a terrifying experience and obviously very dangerous. It happened to me about a year ago, Skyline (who installed it) suggested user error (I strongly disagree as this is something I take very...

maybe this? Exhaust Fumes In Cab, Hissing From Engine Bay.

Got mine in being worked on today and they’ve found this problem. Also had fumes coming through into the cab.

Thank you great read I will investigate whilst on my bru later on. Thank you Pls all keep the suggestions coming Lol I've spent up but yes I've sent a load so far

Perhaps your van has this problem? https://www.t6forum.com/threads/egr-flexi-pipe-exhaust-fumes-in-cab-hissing-from-engine-bay.8076/post-385467 Driving on busy roads you are pulling in all the road pollution, just a pollen filter to take the lumps out. I tend to use re-circulation on the AC. If...

Looks to me like the EGR flexi-pipe. https://www.t6forum.com/tags/egr-flexi-pipe/ https://www.t6forum.com/threads/egr-flexi-pipe-exhaust-fumes-in-cab-hissing-from-engine-bay.8076/post-122010

It definitely is…. have a read of this post of mine from a couple of years back….

Fumes in the cab is a safety / health hazard, VW Assist is probably the quickest solution. There have been design improvements on the original pipe.

We have a very similar "sound" from our 2017 T6.1 204DSG. My wife likens it to "heavy breathing". It's a low volume, rhythmic, deep drone that pulses approximately every second. Sometimes it's not there at all. It normally appears once the engine is warmed up and we're doing a constant speed...

When you reverse, it automatically turns on recirculation mode so it recycles the air in the cab via a flap valve, to avoid sucking in exhaust fumes. The tone of the fan changes when this happens. :thumbsup:

Looking at the access its a pig of a job! I have the 204 engine so access isn't so easy
