« on: 18 July 2013, 17:29 »
Hi

Can anyone tell me what this clip is called ? This pipe keeps popping out so think i'm going to try a new clip, also anyone know where I could get one cheap ?

Thanks

Dealer only part and if it keeps popping out then chances are the lugs on the pipe are worn

Thanks guys,

Had someone do a scan (not vag com) and said EGR problems, reset the fault but hasn't come back, but the clip seems loose so hoping just the clip, will GSF not sell it ? What is it I ask for ?

Cheers

Very much doubt they will but you can try  :undecided:  Its simply called a clip AFAIK; just show the parts people the pic and they will be able to find it on the parts list  :smiley:

Check the lugs on the pipe but I suspect they are worn; common problem sadly  :sad:

If you have EGR problems just do the EGR delete. So easy and very effective.  :smiley:

Darkside do a cheap kit.

Does the Darkside kit do away with that pipe then?? Otherwise it wont solve the problem as the pipe will still be there

EDIT - see how it works now  :nerd:

What engine is yours? You may get a warning light on the dash if you do the delete. It can be mapped out though

Your egr valve will be covered in soot most likely.
