egr cooler

Hi Just wondering if VW ever sorted the egr cooler issue. I understand that if it has the suffix D then it should be ok. My van is one of the last T5.1, (November 2014) the egr cooler has the suffix A and was manufactured 2 months before the van was assembled. If they knew there was a problem 4...

HI, I think the EGR cooler on my T5 2007 2.5 is staying closed. I remember a couple years or so back, I had to replace the N75 valve that is connected to the EGR cooler. When I did this, I'd start the engine and after 30 seconds or so the cooler arm would be pulled open by the vacuum tube. Now...

Hi All, I have been having a lot of trouble with my van lately and I'm chasing down an underboost problem. The vacuum operated valve on the EGR cooler seems to be broken, I can't pull a vacuum against it at all and it doesn't want to move by hand. The rod is currently fully over to the right...

As above had the dreaded warning lights come on and my mechanic, who I think I can trust, has said it will need a new EGR Cooler assy at around £500 plus labour. Apparently VW are aware of the issue and as such the replacement part is a different spec and will require recoding. The van is 4...

EGR Cooler Assembly - £1,500 to replace Hi, I'm also new to the forum, and also with an EGR issue on a recently out-of-warranty 2009 low mileage (40K) BiTDi Caravelle. Engine light came on soon after the 40K longlife service, the car is not in limp-mode and is driveable. VW service centre...
