Hi all,
Just trying to work out what this rod/actuator are for on my 2.5 TDI?
The EGR is blanked off but I noticed there is a vacuum hose going to it and a solenoid/valve for that and that goes to a lever on the intake manifold.
I just wondered if these can restrict the air intake if they get stuck and cause issues - I've posted in another thread that I resolved a boost leak which has helped but found this suspect as at one point found the vac line hanging off - at the very least would be good to know what it is as I'm not sure of the best terms to search for it with.
Edit: Hang on is this the EGR flap itself? Even though the piping have been removed I assume this stays in place.
