OK, just finished putting it all in.
Total cost was less than $500 in aftermarket parts.

I carry about 4 litres of water under the front seat so that as soon as I get the low coolant warning, I top it up and take it straight to Volkswagen.
Although, now that it's out of warranty, I...

EGR's are like regular maintenance.
I blew two at 140kms each time, or hear enough.
The third one is still going @ 490klms.
Maybe VW has made adjustments?.............but I expect to change...

Welcome aboard.

I've been a bit slack and haven't been around the forum much but I hope to rectify that!

Just for the record.............I just blew another drive shaft/stub shaft @ 510,000 kms.
VW now want more than THREE TIMES the price I paid in 2016, just for the parts!

I have had that error and light on for nearly 2 years now.
Just clear it and keep driving.
