EGR Cooler

Featured Replies

bought a pack of those pills for my partners car(2.0 TDI leon), they seem to have worked grand, I looked up online but couldnt find exact figures for the size of the coolant system but found info on a GTI, I worked it out that it would need 3 tablets, so used those, 2 weeks now and no further problems, coolant loss has stopped and no more steam from exhaust in the morning.

Glad they have solved your problem! :) nice and cheap lol. My car has been run like that since April ish and mines still going strong

  • On the actual replacement of the EGR system, I'd highly recommend the Darkside kit. Has been on my car for about 10k now and working faultlessly. That's more than can be said for Allard parts I've us

  • Ive got an 09 plate and the previous company owner had the EGR cooler replaced for the same symptoms, dont have the invoice so cannot tell you how much was charged?

  • Cheers, hope it all works out for you. Mine has nearly 500,000kms on it, I can't really complain.

My Darkside EGR delete pipe should be here tomorrow, along with the plastic adapter thingy so I can do the EGR cooler delete as well.

Result!

Just checked my VAG-COM and it comes up with an Exhaust Temp Sensor Bank 1 (g235) fault, which I'm guessing is the one before the turbo?

Have the engine management light on and glow plug light flashing.

Not had a chance to take it in yet as wanted to give the coolant loss a go.

Think mine was a g448. Might sound silly but plug vag com in and disconnect each one at a time and see if any extra fault codes come up. I got caught out with mine a while back but I was lucky I'm quite pally with the parts manager at Skoda and he took it back off me for the right one

Are the plugs located on the bulkhead on the right hand side as you look at the engine bay?

Sorry for late reply, yes they are just near your battery
