Hi Guys. Your Diagnostics and eventual fix was like watching Sherlock & Dr Watson, getting the offender in the end. 🕵♂ 👨⚕ Cheers. See you in the next one.
Not sure what you fixed here Sandy 🤩, VW should be jailed for designing such a crap egr system and then bolting it where they did , these thing fail for fun 'total crap.
I couldn’t agree more, I’m doing another one at the moment, a 1.2 tdi, these cars need a good run down the motor way for an hour once a week . These cars are marketed for around the town driving, nipping to the shops but the design of the engine is geared towards long distance driving, vw messed up big time here
I have the same polo TDI and the egr has failed like in the video.. the car runs when I disconnect the return gas pipe... I just feel like scrapping the car honestly .
Good job, its not a fun job. I have seen this style egr valves stuck open with this symptoms, when the valve controlled by the little motor stick open. Remove the plastic cover in the back and you can see . Cheers!
Just done one on an octavia having the same symptoms. New one didn't even fix it but the egr codes have cleared 😂. Car starts and struggles to even idle unless very kight throttle is applied. Honking exhaust. Ill try blocking the egr feed back to the inlet and make sure the vacuum control valve is workng.
@@JoaomotaoncarsBlogspotPt it was a knackered catalytic converter. Blocked. Try unbolting the exhaust at the cat and see if it runs. You'll get some codes up but if it runs you at least have an idea it could be that.
Excellent job guys helped me out alot had exact same problem with skoda octavia

Hi Why blocking egr had no effect..?

Did you find out what was the problem? Mine is doing the same now with no codes...

@@rodgerq Alright! Thank you! I'm going to start by doing that.
Looks like there has been many hands tinkering before you Sandy.
Sure has Tam we are usually end of line🤣
Excellent video Sandy, great work! May I contact you/garage re a Dispatch fault my local lads in Glasgow can't analyse?
Nice work thanks for sharing I will avoid those egr valves in the future 🤣
Horrible job Ryan cheers Sandy
8:56 You can use a 2 pence coin to blank that egr pipe. It's a perfect fit 😂
Great tip 👍
Good job lads 👍
Another case of buying a diesel car when you should have got a petrol. Great job lads,
Good job Roddy
Everybody knows u fixed it from afar🤣
well done to you and Rooody we no he is the brains lol
I have the exact same car and the exact same problem 😢 how much would they charge for getting it replaced?
You'll be at least a grand depending on where you take it and what replacement is fitted.
Not a nice job done one ! The extended sump is a pain!
What is that back prob tool called the snap on one
You get them with snap on Verus but Rotkee does good ones
Good job lads 👍
