I swear mine is a CBBB engine, EGR is at the front, oil filler cap to the left if looking from the front at the engine.

Off the top of my head

CBBB EGR is at the front Oil cap left
CFGB EGR is at the rear with the  EGR Cooler and Oil cap is on the Right

Nearly starts a new topic of why change it? I have had the EGR replaced under warranty as it was leaking.

I think it is more efficient for the engine to have the EGR/EGR cooler in one unit rather than the EGR and Throttle value arrangement on the intake manifold and EGR cooler on its own.


From 2010-11 The Jetta, Golf diesel, and Audi A3 TDI have a more complicated EGR system. The low pressure EGR gasses are filtered before being sent through the cooler and back into the intake. The high pressure gasses go straight from the exhaust manifold to the EGR valve and into the intake. The low pressure is used more at higher engine rpm and load. It's too new to know long term reliability but it should be relatively maintenance free because of cleaner fuel and less carbon buildup in the intake.

I have a CBBB and I'm on 69K and the car is a 59 plate, when should I get the cambelt done? I know a local mechanic who quoted me £140 if I provide all the parts, he's been doing cambelts on diesels for 20 years as all the local taxis go to him, will it effect resale value if I don't get it done at VW?

Not sure I was lead to believe the Earlier cars was a four year 80k limit.
