Re: Cleaning b6 EGR

Did mine this morning,and wasnt as mucky as I thought.The only hard bit was undoing the bolt nearest to the egr pipe,a bad design by vw.All cleaned and refitted,now seems to run smoother :esm

Cleaning b6 EGR

Im s.ervicing my 2.0 tdi b6 at the weekend and was wondering how easy it is to remove and clean the EGR valve.The car has done 109 k and I dont think its ever been done so will probably be full of crud. Any info greatly appreciated.

Re: Coolent light on start.

Same thing happened to me last week,so I got a new one from dealers and fitted it myself-a 10 minute job -and everything fine now.I suspect it was the 2 sensor prongs in the tank which were a little mucky and therefore not conducting the electricity.

Re: Important Injector fail 07 B6 passats engine code BKP

Let me get this correct - I have a 2006 car but it does NOT have a full VW service history - if I call VW customer service and explain this and that my car has NO current fault, are they likely to say they will replace the injectors anyway?? Y our car does not need full vwsh, and if the injectors a...
