will be able to tell you if its a seperate part or not

Nope. Just get SW development notes .....

Odd, works fine for me that link.

Need to click Welcome -> Free Services -> CarProg2

If your EGR is the same as earlier ones, Mr Muscle will clean it. There are guides on YouTube and on VW communities.
Others have used diesel iirc.. not sure about alternatives, I used Mr Muscle.

Need a proper look (and instructional video), wouldn't want to squirt the white stuff into the wrong hole..

Nothing like Mr Muscle . +1 for mr muscle, did it four years ago improved turbo response. Smells a bit for few mins after. Not need to do again since egr has been removed.

So the 2T won't do any turbo cleaning?

I was building up to "Mr. Muscling" the turbos on our ASZ and AWX engines.. would adding 2T negate the need for this?

You brought up the subject of mot.. it wouldn't have gone that route if you hadn't.

They are allowed to remove covers (as are mot testers) if they're not bolted down. Whether they do/will check this poo is unclear (and probably unlikely), but they can.. And what if there's an accident involving an obviously illegally modified car.. Insurance could be invalid, perhaps.. Makes no odd...

You can't legally remove the EGR any more.. a friendly tester might let it go but there's been reports of plod checking - how true this is, dunno.. You can do the delete and retain the valve (and also the asv). That's what I did after speaking to 'my' tester (who is friendly but not willing to risk ...

Have a play with this...

Fuel filter today... Bye bye manky old filter and jubilee clips. Hello clean, new filter.. (did forget to replace the o-rings, cba to go back to it now).. Ideally want to replace the spring clips and fuel hose soon.. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180926/1a2b3b9e2bf97b8366e67838d6abfc13.jpg http...

Yet to manage flattering pics of white interior lighting.. All interior lighting changed now (well, except the glovebox light that dismantled itself in my hand when I removed it).. Might try again later when it's proper dark and the street lights are off. Also fitted the new thermostat and coolant t...

Have you deleted the egr? Not yet.. I'll probably do the same as I did for the Golf and pick up a spare egr & inlet manifold, clean them and swap them over (and delete it). Weather's turning grim now though, it might have to wait.. **edit to add** Ordered egr blanking plates, guess I'm doing th...

Same way for the catch can mate... one side goes in other goes back to the intake... sorted.... I know what you made up for the golf... same will do.. engines are the same mate so what you did on the golf can be executed on the passat ;) Gonna be a bit of a oh fiddlesticks! working out the 180 degr...

I didn't say I was intending to plug it..
How can it vent back into the engine, there's only one outlet?
I could fit a separator in-line, it worked well on the ASZ in the Golf.
Kinda just wanted a catch can on this though, the layout in the Passat will make the separator a pain to plumb in.

I'd either buy guaranteed used or, more likely, hit up AliExpress for a new one (if it's a significant saving)

Looking to add a catch can to the pipe from the hockey puck (think that's what it's called) on the cam cover.. What size bung do I need for the other end or.. Would it be better to add one inline and keep the pipe to the inlet? Is it ok just to add the can or is the system more complicated than that...

My vcds cable is black.. the blue one is KKL..
This one looks like mine (not recommending it, just looks like this)

I have '52 plate Golf and '04 Passat.. mine works great on both, I just close the 'software out of date' notification when it pops up.

Got mine for £12 off AliExpress with full vcds software.
Works perfectly, I just don't do the update.

No longer available from the seller I got it from but there's likely dozens of others..

You can’t adjust the linkage with regards to the box so far as I’m aware. Only where the shifter sits so to speak. Apparently, and I've not looked into it - just going by what I've been told, where the linkages attach to the box you can adjust up to about 5mm.. one adjusts side to side and the othe...

Cool.. thanks..
It's done ~200 miles now and still crunching. Longest journey is 12miles.. wondering if a longer run is necessary?

Not looked at how to adjust the linkage yet but reckon this is going to end with a replacement box and am not in a rush for another GGB.

Could I use my existing clutch and flywheel if I swapped my GGB box for an FHN??

Easy job today.. some numpty had put metal valve caps on the rear wheels and they'd got stuck (that corrosion thing).. Tried gt85, pliers and mole grips all to no avail so, today, the Dremel came out to play. Can finally check the pressure in the back tyres.. yippee. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com...

Cheers Mr.Mental.. [emoji41]

Been on etka and eBay (and others) and can't work out the part number for the thermostat housing.. looks like it might be in 2 pieces, which is confusing..

Anyone help with part numbers please?
Need to do stat and cts this week...
