Take it off, clean it thoroughly. I had issues on a 2.2tdi Saab and it’s just coke in the buteryfly valve.
had AA out to get car started , apparently the EGR valve needs replacing , any VW owners had this done ? Is it gonna cost arm and leg?
There is a firm in washy who cleans egr then by passes the sensor using software £400 I think.had AA out to get car started , apparently the EGR valve needs replacing , any VW owners had this done ? Is it gonna cost arm and leg?
Nightmare on golfs if that’s what he’s got.just had both egr's replaced on mine (jag xf) and they were about 130 each i think.
it's the labour that'll bump the cost depending how easy they are to get to.
Maybe injector. There’s a garage on leechmere specialised in diesel (performance something) they are class. Diagnosis needed mate.had AA out to get car started , apparently the EGR valve needs replacing , any VW owners had this done ? Is it gonna cost arm and leg?

He’s had to blank it off mate as car would not start at all . Rang Vw and they can do a report for £60 send it to their hq who decide if will meet some of the costs , maybe worth a try , otherwise be looking best part of a grand I reckonIf the car has been back to VW for the emissions recall work, they should do the EGR replacement as goodwill:
The Volkswagen Group is systematically refunding owners for EGR failures after the emissions “fix” |
Although the fact the AA gadgie has blanked it off might give them a get out clause. Worth a gan like.

How do you get through mot like that though ?My personal opinion would be to get a proper blanking kit, you can get these for around £30 = No more issues further down the line.
Wrong advice. Sometimes they can be cleaned but sometimes they are gone. There is more to the egr than a valve which clogs up. A clean is the first port of call hopefully it sorts it.This. Seems like loads of these sorts of problems absolutely don’t need a replacement, they just need cleaning.
Some older cars it doesent put the eml on so u can get away with it.How do you get through mot like that though ?
Many VW ones are liquid cooled ? canny expensive if soIt’s a Vw Tiguan
AA bloke has blocked it off as a temporary fix (didn’t say how long that fix would last ?)
Said should contact Vw also as it can be related to the emissions update ?
Edit. @the boot inbox cleared ?
Blanked it off not blocked
