egr

Hi all, Bought my bitdi in 2020 at 40k miles(67 plate) Few months after not doing much driving i had engine (EGR) lights on (P046C00, P040100). Thought it made sense as i did not drive enough and no motorway miles really. Then i started using it mainly on motorways and i had to have a flush...

Hi there from not-so sunny Cornwall atm. Can any of you good people shed the light on this, I have seen it mentioned on previous posts but it never seems to get answered: I have a fault code P046C00 EGR SENSOR 'A" (1) My van It is not in limp mode and seems to be driving fine but can anyone just...

Evening all, I’m currently battling the old adblue sudden drop to 650 no start alert (not over filled, VW say no software update needed) the usual lines of enquiry. I have a few fault codes via Carista but will be running a VCDS scan when my new laptop arrives tomorrow. So far I have; 15560 -...

So EML light diagnosed as EGR valve failure, the warranty company have okayed this part but won't authorise the EGR hose as they say it's a none mechanical part. How can I argue against this. Garage said it needs doing

got the dreaded flashing coil of light come on and gone into limp mode. quick carista scan gave the below. 150ps manual MY 2017 CXHA Basic OBD2: P0299 (Pending) - Turbocharger/Supercharger "A" Underboost Condition P2279 (Pending) - Intake Air System Leak Engine: 18874 - Intake Air System Leak...

I need a new rear EGR pipe for my 2017 t6 102hp as the present one has developed the common problem, crack in the corrugated section. Genuine VW part is £160 ! was £40 4 years ago ! It's now modified to be stronger. Question is do I get genuine VW pipe or an eBay one which is £40 ? In theory I...

Sorry if iv'e posted this thread twice. i need to fit a new EGR valve, £600 notes from vw van service centre but they don't issue a vcds adaptation code. They informed me that i would have to book it in to be recoded. Is this correct? Thanks Kev

hi everyone I bought my van with 20,000 miles on it from an independent dealer in Wigan. A week later the EGR light came on. The dealer paid for the EGR to be replaced by my local mechanic to ensure I wouldn’t have further problems. Several months later the light came on again and the EGR...

So my van has a Pendle remap. The EGR valve has died. The garage says they could just do a delete but it’d need mapping out but they can’t do it as my van is already remapped. Is there now way round this or do I have to get a new EGR?

Hi Vw are a waste of time. I believe Vw knew of this fault in the manufacturing and continued to sell these vehicles knowing they had fault .Before I brought vehicle 2 weeks before they delivered there was an update .The vehicle has had the light flashing since I had it on and off. There has...

Rear small EGR modified pipe. Part No V04L131521BH and gaskets. Fitted at 46470miles and removed at 50854miles. Only changed as new modified turbo required different EGR pipe. £50 plus postage.

Hi Got a 67plate highline combi 4 motion 199 engine converted to a camper. 63000 miles 2021 was burning a bit of extra oil for a while until the engine light came on so egr was replaced march 2023 (clutch and fly too). this delay of action and continued driving and topping up was when a family...

So, I've been getting the all too common P046C fault code along with P2457 (Insufficient EGR Cooling Performance). Neither alone will flag a check engine light but combined they sometimes seem to. To try to figure out what is going on, I ran an EGR Flow test on VCDS using instruction from @mmi...

Hi, Just wanting to improve my understanding.. If an EGR Cooler is blanked off.. Will this mean that that the DPF blocks up / blocks up quicker? Also, will the DPF still continue to function as VW intended / function effectively without adversely effecting the engine? Understand that the...

Hey! First post here, was mainly reading until now. Roughly two weeks back I finally got a T6 transporter (CXHA) with 150k on the clock. The van mostly stood still other than the drive back from the dealer (~120km), since I'm preparing it for the conversion. Yesterday on a short drive the...

Hi All. I have an orange light on the dash. Plugged in the trusty reader and it’s showing Erg EGR valve needs cleaning. I have bought a can of wynns erg cleaner but not sure where on the air intake system I should spay ! Can anyone help? I have attached a pic if that helps. Cheers Rob

A lot has been written on this and I've read it all. I thought it might be useful to try to summarise in one spot. I'll break this down into single statements and questions so it's easier to agree/disagree/answer. Please take a read and comment if you think any of this is incorrect. 1. The...

I have a 2018 T6 California which I have owned for approx 2 years. Last summer I started losing large amounts of coolant and it took quite a few months (and the van behaving poorly) before it was diagnosed as being a faulty EGR. This was fixed just before Christmas and everything seemed ok. Then...

So it seems - inevitable P0401. Well, visited a VW garage to be tested - the van had accumulated 30 events in ECU's memory since July 2021 (since 20 months now). Eventually managed turn on the emission light at event number 31 - thus had a priviledge to have EGR flow tested. The result -...

Been told by VW today that my 2016 T6 needs a new EGR Elbow Pipe - and they want £229 inc Could anybody tell me if this is job for a DIY ? Thanks
