Hi all, my 2018 kombi is booked in next week to have a cracked rear EGR pipe replaced, am I right in thinking that VW updated the pipe and made it stronger? I’ve seen genuine ones costing about £30 and £160, want to make sure the mechanic puts the right one on, as the labour is the expensive...

So... its in the VW Centre and they have identified that the ECM software needs updating, also the rear EGR pipe has a split in it, this seems to be a common fault at 70,000 miles which is exactly right for mine. They suggest replacing the EGR pipe, conduct software update and hope that sorts...

I am seriously considering replacing my EGR valve soon myself after getting the repeating P0401 Insufficient flow fault. I suspect it is gunked up and due for replacement. From doing some research on here I reckon I can do it as I have a good sized driveway to work on the van and I have done...

...engine warning lights. Took it to a garage to have a software update to see if that would fix it. The software update flagged an issue with the EGR - on investigation the EGR was found to be unplugged and in all likelihood coded out. The EGR was plugged back in but shown to be faulty. The...

Hi, one week ago I had a new EGR valve fitted to my 2016 T6. Cost me £1,000. Last night, the engine light came on again and van went into limp mode. Plugged in Carista and got the attached fault data, suggesting EGR problem. Will take back to garage next week, but anyone seen anything similar...

I’ve performed an EGR delete on my T6 with the CXEB engine by removing the pipe between the EGR cooler and the exhaust manifold, plugging the holes, and reprogramming the ECU to disable the EGR function. The van has run approximately 235,000 km, and since it consumes a significant amount of oil...

Hi all, I’ve the van booked in to get the egr replaced as it’s leaking coolant into exhaust manifold! What I’m asking is there is a rubber/plastic union that sits between the egr cooler and bracket, is this usually replaced at same time, and is it available separately?? Thanks all

...and bought a Carista and ran the check today. It says Error PO401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Insufficient Flow. So it seems to be a fault with the EGR. However I've gone through the previous owners service receipts and the EGR Cooler and Valve was replaced with part 04L131512CF in Sept 2023...

Cant find anything on the forums but I have seen it somewhere on Facebook - what's the story with swapping the troublesome EGR Cooler out for a regular heat exchanger/filter housing? I saw mention that Darkside used to provide a kit but I cant find it. Is their hose-only based bypass option...

For an air leak to atmosphere? The egr leaks are normally from the cooling jacket side to the exhaust reserc side. The egr rear pipe comes from the turbo round the back and goes through the valve to the front side inlet. If you command the egr open and run smoke from the air box it will head...

Hi all, looking for someone in Cumbria or nearby to do an EGR delete, looking I need to replace mine and have tried everything to prevent it by using premium fuel and additives regular and getting a carbon clean every couple of years but seems like all that has been a waste of money so lost...

Hi all ( great forum ) so I have had my 2018 T6 204 DSG 77k miles about 4 months now, the engine light has come on , code = P0401 egr insufficient flow. I. Know this has been covered a lot so apologies . I do have a warranty wise warranty so hope that helps. My question is - do I push to get...

There isn’t a nitrous oxide emissions test in the UK MOT. The EGR is installed to reduce NO.

Hi all, I'm just having a new engine and turbo fitted because of the dreadful egr. I wanted to blank and map out the egr and leave the dpf alone but been told I've got to do both as it will kill the dpf. I've heard that the dpf still does its regen even if the egr is blanked out. Is this true or...

If it is the original or even the second EGR unit during the vans life it’s fairly safe to assume that it will be heavily fouled with carbon. It maybe more cost effective to just renew the EGR than more diagnostic sessions, get a comparison parts cost from Autodoc or similar, Pierburg make some...

The egr & cooler is purchased as one unit... It's a common part that needs replacing on most of the T6 engine s, due to either leaking coolant... Or blocking up. I've had it done twice on my work been now. They are teddy's that can be done by the garage. Egr flow test for blocking...

Exhaust gas condensate or leaking engine coolant from EGR or Charge coolers:rolleyes:

I went fairly reliable purely on the basis of needing an EGR replacement at 20,000 miles.

30k I put in a new battery

...forum & can’t find a definitive answer to my query, so here goes. Hypothetically, if someone had a 204 bi turbo T6, & physically blanked off the EGR valve & gutted the DPF. Assuming the person in question had a fully functional VCDS, what coding would be required to complete the removal of...
