I only noticed it after I got it back from the clutch/DMF job.
The noise from them may have disguised it.
Is it a coincidence that things suddenly start going awry after VW has been fooling with it?

They probably thought they would lighten your wallet a bit more , same thing happened to our old T5 it went into VW for what was a suspected broken camshaft . Turned out to be a bearing in the aircon had failed and in turn it broke the compressor mount . So $3600 later I pick up the van and they tell me the turbo is leaking oil and needs replacing , what I love about VW is the way they so nonchalantly tell you how much it will be to fix . The service bloke tells me without a hint of emotion that it will cost $6000 to replace , yeah sure fella I have a lazy extra 6k just wasting away somewhere to put into you greedy bastards pockets . No wonder people call them car stealers , do you notice real honest mechanics have mediocre workshops and grease on their hands . Not these pricks multi million dollar workshops you could eat off the floor from , and that's how they get rich on us poor saps . Okay rant over got that of my chest . LOL .

Got my new EGR and moo valve from VW yesterday.
Funny..........the engine management light went out today on the way to the tip!
Anyway........I had a think about it and remembered that I filled up with truck diesel rather than Ultimate.
It's making me wonder.............

There is a very interesting video I saw on YouTube the other night showing how to delete the EGR and some other stuff , what amazed me was the amount of gunk that was blocking the EGR and the connected pipe . It was like 60% blocked no wonder the cars will die . It was on an older VW car but same principal never the less . Link here . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn6jiEpADYg

It would be tempting to delete the EGR, it can't be good for the engine long term.
Yes it may be illegal, but technically from what i gather we weren't meeting the Emissions anyway,
Add the fact, we don't have yearly inspections up here in QLD, i'm sure it gets done a fair bit.
after the VW warranty expires of course

It,s already been offered to me without prompting by a place I know , they seemed very knowledgeable about the downside of both the DPF and its partner in crime the EGR .

It's was not the hardest thing in the world but a sound knowledge of how the vacuum/pressure system works would be an advantage.
Just depends how knowledgeable you are and your confidence in completing the task.

Hi Markee, confidence level high but knowledge not so great. I'm a quick learner after building a hotrod and several restorations!
I have sent you my email address. Cheers Mark
