Re: Here we go again... EGR this time

Common fault unfortunately egr on b7. Had egr replaced at indi at cost of £550. Part cost about £300 only. 6 hrs labour charge on top to replace. Very annoying, had egr failed on 2011 B7 and on 2010 Golf.

Re: rns315 overheating

If still under warranty, take it back to main dealer. Most likely replacement unit will be needed.

No, when you lock car and leave windows or sunroof open. As soon it starts raining, Windows and sunroof will close. Only for vehicles fitted with rain and light sensor.
