Post by: Scottw on 30 August 2014, 13:17
I have a 2.0gt diesel and the egr cooler had  gone,at a cost of £900,vw paying half as it's a known issue.
are these fitted to petrol or just diesel ?
Are they fitted to gti ?

Just the diesels suffer the problem, some petrols have egr systems but generally on older small capacity engines. We do loads of them and there is a software update to go along with the revised EGR valves/coolers which is a combined unit that is a few hours labour to fit.

Bit of an update,....the lights have gone out and the car is running ok now,all by itself
Bit annoyed as I was going to pay for the work at vw,that they said was broken !

The MK6 has EGR built internally into the camshaft adjustment.
