I just changed mine on my Roomster. Thanks for all the fitting tips. I took the drive shaft out but that's it. I also did the postmortem on the old EGR. Mechanically it was perfect not like this one. the cooler body bit with all the holes where completely blocked. I bought the 2012 car last year with 50k on the clock and this failed at 61k. pretty sure it was all the short journeys the previous 1 keeper did. Thanks again, Colin
@@murphyslaw2020 its the 1.6 tdi. Its a slightly different EGR, has different coolant pipe positions. P/N ends in DP your was the DQ I think. The DPF slightly different too it sits lower down, no 13mm to remove. Cheers
I'd recommend replacing it as soon as you can. I had customer drive for a year or more with the light on and then the NCT national car test failed it for the engine light. The EGR valve, throttle valve, turbo actuator and some of the pipes needed cleaning and replacing so it cost 3 times more. The dpf can block etc etc

Thanks for the comment was it a 1.2 tdi. I did one before and it was harder to get out. Glad you got it sorted 👍

Hi is it going into limp mode
@@murphyslaw2020 no, just a check engine light. Always starts up.
