Hi Guys. Your Diagnostics and eventual fix was like watching Sherlock & Dr Watson, getting the offender in the end. 🕵♂ 👨⚕ Cheers. See you in the next one.
Just done one on an octavia having the same symptoms. New one didn't even fix it but the egr codes have cleared 😂. Car starts and struggles to even idle unless very kight throttle is applied. Honking exhaust. Ill try blocking the egr feed back to the inlet and make sure the vacuum control valve is workng.
Not sure what you fixed here Sandy 🤩, VW should be jailed for designing such a crap egr system and then bolting it where they did , these thing fail for fun 'total crap.
Good job, its not a fun job. I have seen this style egr valves stuck open with this symptoms, when the valve controlled by the little motor stick open. Remove the plastic cover in the back and you can see . Cheers!
