EGR Malfunction

If the EGR valve is malfunctioning (stuck open) will this have an adverse effect on fuel consumption?

I have recently notice my fuel consumption go up and power seems to have gone down.

Other than plugging in to VAGCOM or similar, is there any way of diagnosing a faulty EGR ?

just disconnect it, that should sort it out, if the light appears just get it removed or 'mapped out'

No exhaust soot clogging up your manifold for one thing.

In addition.

Does anyone know the internal diameter of the vacuum tube that connects to the top of the EGR? I though I might splice a simple valve in there so I can isolate it at will.

Hi, new to forum. Hopefully someone might be able to help. 2011 Octavia Scout, 2.0 diesel. Will start and immediately cuts out. No comms with any module except ECM via k-line. Have changed Gateway module, ECM and instrument cluster for known working units. Unplugged every module. Checked every fuse. All relays good. Other faults - electric windows not working, engine fans running, parking brake warning light flashing. Do not appear to have any commas on Can Bus, would be grateful for any suggest

Does having a vRS with 4X4 bring a noticeable improvement to the car?

Does having a vRS with 4X4 bring a noticeable improvement to the car?

Sinbad1900 · 1 May1 May

This is a follow up to a previous question I posed recently. I had a 2008 vRS for over 12 years and really loved it before moving on to something different. Looking to getting back into vRS ownership again and toying with the idea of finding one with the 4x4 drive train. If anyone has been able to compare the two, is there a noticeable improvement in road handling with this variant? Thanks

Fabia vRS rough idol on cold start-up

AJR77 · 3 hours ago3 hr

I’m having a issue on start-up from cold there is a noticeable lumpy idling. This hasn’t caused any massifier codes when scanning via VCDS. Last year as part of the service the sparkplugs were changes but the rough idol is getting more noticeable. My Audi had the same issue that eventually resulted in constant misfire. That was diagnosed as having a carbon build-up. I don’t want to have the same issue occurring with the Fabia. As the CTHE is direct injection and has done 41k miles I’m guessin

Hello people, I got a 2011, VRS a few days ago. Primarily for a long trip. Seems decent so far, but I want to add power, music and just get things working. I have a few issues/questions. Hoping these are common and easy for experienced here, I have been trawling forum, maybe I have missed some stuff. The head unit did not display. The touch screen worked but there was no display. I tried removing fuse. No luck. (Bolero, Delphi) I purchased a head unit from breaker (Bolero, blaupunkt), assum

Blower fan not working

Piska07 · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hello .I recently bought a Skoda Superb MK3. After a few days the fan stopped working. I changed the blower fan but it still doesn't work (the one on the car was already changed with a aftermarket). I checked the fuse and it's ok, I bought another resistor and it still doesn't work. I checked the wires and they have 12v. When I press the AC button the light doesn’t appear. On the diagnostics I found these errors. What could it be? Thank you
