Had the rac out to my 2.0tdi and they did a scan as its in limp mode, they said the EGR Valve is stuck, I've looked on the internet and found an egr valve that is the same as mine but I'm unsure which one to order. Do I just order the valve or do I order the valve with the cooler attached.

Heres the link to the valves..

Cheers for your help
 
Could you not take it off and give it a clean to see if it resolves your problem, before spending on a new valve?

I've never needed to do it on my A4, but did it on my 5 Series. Can be quite hard to get the gunk out. I used loads of carb cleaner and lots of scraping to get the baked on gunk off. It's a messy job but maybe worth the effort.

ECP link no workie .

No need to clean the gunk , blank and remap and let your engine breathe cool clean air all the time .

Plus multiple benefits .

It will actually lower the smoke opacity reading .

Even with the more thorough petrol emissions gasses analysis a petrol car will pass with a cat and egr disabled .
 
Your link resets to ask for a reg.. which engine code is yours? CAHA CAGA etc?
I know there is an egr cooler on the 2.0tdi 170 (CAHA).. I suspect its the same on all of them but just to be sure:) maybe pop your reg on a reply so we can search it

Does anyone have an image of the location of the EGR on a 2.0TDi B8?

On my last Audi, Audi A3 PD140, it was at the front of the engine near the top.

Thanks in advance

Yeah thats where mine is, feel like smacking it with a hammer. Rang a mechanic this morning and he told me to take it to him at 5.00pm, so I did only to be told he'd gone home ill. But luck as it my neighbour was talking to a couple who have just moved in up our street and he told him about my motor. He's a mechanic, got his own garage so he said he will do my egr valve.
 
If it's stuck open , blank and Stage 1 remap it out of ecu software .

If it's stuck closed , just remap .

If you don't know , blank and remap , from as little as £150 .
