Was it not worth taking the EGR off and manually cleaning it out?  Where has all the sh*t around the EGR now wound up?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

So here it goes....

Had a PM the other day from Topher asking if I wanted a DPF pipe that was for a customer of theirs who suddenly disappeared into thin air.  I thought about it for about 2 seconds before saying yes so I was booked in for the pipe to be fitted today.  Left sunny South Wales at 6am this morning and arrived at Midland VW just before 8.30am  :smiley:  made it there before Topher  :lipsrsealed: :tongue:

Car was taken into the workshop were removal began.  About 40 minutes later i was asked to have a look expecting to see it almost ready....to be greeted with this...







Yes that would be the pipe NOT fitting  :angry:

Thankfully though all was not lost as the clever chaps at Midland VW came up with an idea...

Chop chop


And back together again




Graph to follow  :smiley:  net result is 205bhp and 320lbs ft torque, not a massive increase (torque is unchanged) but the throttle is sharper and it just pulls so much harder past 3000rpm.  MPG seemed to be up too despite me having a bit of fun on the way home!

Want to say a big thank you to everyone at Midland VW for making me feel welcome and letting me wander around having a close up look at how they operate; they put most main dealers to shame!!!  Really great bunch of people (Topher excluded of course!)  :cool:

Awesome mate! Good result...More MPG = massif win  :evil:

It looks like there is only a few spot welds holding that pipe together...Did you do something to seal it all up?  :huh:

Yeah really pleased with the result; I wasn't chasing numbers; to me its all about how it drives on the road and that it does extremely well  :evil:

That was the pipe in the test position before he completed the welding  :wink:  It held up to the hammering I gave it on the way home at least  :laugh: :evil:

KABOOM  :lipsrsealed:

According to Nick its at the lower limit of what it can do; its running approx 1.6bar.  I could have more if I wanted it  :lipsrsealed:
