1.6 TDI EGR Failure AGAIN after 3 years

Featured Replies

Hi,
My EGR has failed again after 3 years and 30,000 miles (2012 1.6TDI).
I don't do much short distance driving as I have a lttle runaround for short trips.
I suspect that the dieselgate fix is partly to blame. Has anyone had VW replace EGR beyond the 2 year "trust building" period. At 800 quid or more a pop I'm thouroughly cheesed off. Wouldn't be so bad if the EGR wasn't so difficult to access.🤬

Code is P0403, and reappears when I accelerate hard (so I can't do an italian tune up). Has anyone got any advice before I take it to my local garage (not VW group).

Thanks

Got same problem with my caddy van , absolutely inaccessible to do the job yourself Mine kept stalling when first started , I fixed it by taking egr pipe that connects to inlet manifold and cleaning that out then put loads of brake cleaner down the orifice on the block and cleaned that out
