Part covered in soot

Featured Replies

Hi all, 

I’m new to the forum and need a little help if possible. I have a mk3 octavia, 2.0 tdi and have noticed soot covering the part circled in the photo attached. Can anyone tell me what the part is? 
Thanks

From its location  I would say that it is the insulation covering the DPF

Soot in that area indicates you have either a EGR or Exhaust leak...
