***Help! VOLKSWAGEN emissions issue***
Hello All,
long time reader, first time poster!
I have an issue, my car hasn't passed MOT, this is due to the pump sensor on the EGR valve, I can get this fixed for around £800-£900 which will make my car pass MOT which I can then get the car taken to VW and have the emission fix done BUT! I've found out that once I get the emissions fix done the same problem with the EGR valve will come up again which VW will fix again.. for a reduced rate.
-Is there a way that I can get both fixed by VW all of this in the first place?
-Has anyone come up with anything like this before?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
Dave

VW cannot FORCE you to have the "fix" on a 1.6 its a gadget to fix the gadget they fitted... it knackers up your EGR...
TPS sell a EGR far cheaper than VW0 -
