Hello,
My first post and I have a query, sorry.
My lass had a problem one morning where the car wasn't starting, RAC came out and had a look, and mentioned the reason for this was because the little fella [see photos] was stuck.. once the little pin/lever was moved/freed, the car started.
Since then, she/we have noticed alot more black smoke from the exhaust whilst accelerating, and also poor... well I say poor 35mpg with very careful driving [normally 45+]
Is this all a result of a faulty part, if so.. what is it, Air Flow Meter?

Doh, wrong place!
-
Looks a bit like a turbo actuator to me.
-
they have a spring on the actuator ? if im right ? that may of seized
-
Sounds more like boost leak ..check all todays posts on the subject
-
The bit you've circled is the EGR valve / anti-shudder valve
Turbo actuator is situated further down under the car

Did wonder as never actually seen one of these engines in the flesh.
In that case, cheap and cheerful fix. Get a uprated one if possible, bit more pricey, but don't go wrong quite so easily.
Alternatively, take it off and give it a damn good clean.

EGR is over £170 from VW :angry: :cry: :cry:
EGR Delete pipe is what you need :afro:

PSI tuning in stoke have replacements for about £50 I think. :undecided:

That will most likely be the delete pipe then which removes the valve entirely :nerd:
And yeah I had to bite the bullet on the EGR as the pipe blew off and shattered the housing :cry: :cry:

The 130 EGR Will fit the 150.
The EGR delete is starting to do my head in. It makes a horrible noise as you turn the ignition off, kind of like splutters and shudders to a stop.

Sweet!! I got one for sale then :grin: :grin: :grin:
I got used to it after a while but I'm not sure I could go back to it having been spoilt by the smoothness of the shutdown on the Audi

I'm going to remove the grubbings for the EGR side of the valve and keep the anti splutter on it to save my engine mounts from vibrating to sh!t.
