Thanks OP for this useful thread. I wondered if I could have some advice? I need to unstick my VNT turbo vanes on my 07 BXE engined 1.9 TDI Leon. Looking at this thread, the engine looks near identical to the layout of the equivalent Skodas, hence my asking on here.
I've been re-reading about the 'Mr Muscle' method of cleaning up the turbo vanes, and had success with it when I owned an older Audi TDI a few years back. Obviously the EGR position on the Skoda/Vw/Seat engines are different to the Audi layout, so the original guide here http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/un-sticking-your-tdi-vnt-turbo-vanes.107121/ isn't much use right now.
I need to remove one of the EGR pipes in order to feed a silicon pipe down to turbo itself.
Am I right in thinking that if I remove the EGR itself, that the smaller pipe below in this photo is the one which I can feed the pipe straight into?
Any advice appreciated! Thanks in advance.
