Thanks for the Info jasimog Mitch I had a look under the car last week and every EGR connection was covered in oil with nothing left in the engine, with the amount of smoke that came out (when my foot was down) I can only assume thats what it is. Topped the oil up again and the engine ticks over fin...

Hi Guys In a bit of a dilemma, pretty sure the oil seal has gone on the turbo but all garages I have phoned refuse to repair and will only fit a new turbo (refused to even fit a reconditied one). The car is of the age were I dont want to invest over £1000. I had a look under the car on Saturday and ...

Well here we go chaps Great advice Maclee, I chickened out in changing the joint whist on the car and instead opted to replace the whole drive shaft thanks to J & R (Good prices) now that I have the old shaft out of the car I was able to put it on the workbench and try your advice.

Hi Guys B6 Passat 2006 2.0 TDI SG6 ENG Code BKP Ive just finished fitting my replacement drivers side drive shaft as I managed to get a replacement of a friend for £25 quid. Harder than I thought without using a lift. Anyways, As soon as I took it for a test drive it was obvious that I was now getti...

Hi Smoky Managed to resolve the problem, it was indeed ther flap motor, half way through the opening and closing it was catching on part of a wiring harness which was hanging down, not enough to stop it completly but enough to cause a restiction that over time has worn the teeth down in the motor. I...

Thanks Mitch, I was looking at the EGR and manifold and when I took the ASV (thankyou for educating me) and thought about taking it off but with the dark nights rolling in I would have ran out of time, now I kinda know what im looking at I will give this a go and add a few pictures of the before and...
