    Considering a 2016 T6 Camper with 42K on it. That's not many Ks for a 5 year old diesel. It has a full service history. I am leaning towards new but am attracted to the savings and lack of waiting time offered by the second hand one.

    Given the issues reported above, and in particular it seems this vehicle has either been sitting around or a lot worse, doing short trips, what about simply biting the bullet and getting a new EGR filter and cooler fitted and figuring that into the overall cost, or do you think that's a bit over-cautious. TIA

    My T5 had an EGR change @ about 280k (I think) and might be due for another one @ over 400k.
    The 2018 Crafter seems to blow them every 140k.

    I own a 2011 Tiguan 2.0 Tdi... It used 2 litres of oil with a recent (2400km) trip... Most of that oil ended up on my trailer behind the vehicle

    I've been under the vehicle and removed the belly plates... The oil seems to come from somewhere behind the engine, under the DPF... This is where the EGR cooler sits... The leak does not seem to come from the turbo oil supply/return lines...

    Could a faulty EGR cooler cause this amount of oil leak? I did not use/loose a drop of coolant, just oil...

    For me to try and pin point the leak, I will need to remove the DPF, which is a HUGE task (drop sub-frame and remove driveshaft)... And only then I would be able to see what parts I need...

    If I know for sure it could be the EGR cooler, then I could buy one before I start to strip...

    Vehicle has 185k km.

    Any suggestions as to a replacement EGR cooler ?

    Thanks

    Thanks Nick
