with a 8 yr old vechile you have no chance with the manufacturer. has it been regularly serviced using the correct grade of oil. grade of oil is very important with turbo engines, as the turbo is oil cooled. use the wrong oil, and bye bye turbo. 

The only hope i had with VW was if they had admitted there was an issue with the original manufacturing, I mean clearly there is as only a halfwit would use aluminium to build and egr cooler but they are robustly denying any fault. Servicing has been done correctly mostly by VW apart from the last 2. The turbos are not the issue although they could have been ruined when the engine went pop

Most high performance cars have aluminium coolers.it is a very good material for dissipating heat, that in itself is not a problem but there is obviously an issue with that particular model of cooler.

If they won't stump up for a goodwill payment then your only option will be to make a court claim but you are going to need very expensive expert witnesses to support your claim

I have no intention of taking VW to court, I asked if there was a goodwill jesters, there is not. I'm waiting on the vehicle inspectors to get back to me as to whether they could identify when the cooler started to breakdown, if they cannot I will be left with nearly 6k to find but if they can then hopefully less

There are more than enough jesters online.

Gesturing jesters gently gesticulating make for more entertaining threads, imho.
