Hi All,
I stumbled across this site earlier today as I will looking for pictures of the EGR elbow pipes. Some very detailed tutorials etc which helped me a lot.
I have a little problem, recently 1 of my EGR elbow pipes split (The shorter one of the 2 in this picture https://www.myturbodiesel.com/d2/images/misc/pumpeegr.jpg).
So instead of buying a new one I fixed it up and that cleared that issue up. But there still seems to be a leak somewhere else. When I block the little breather pipe which goes from the air box to the back of the engine bay and rev the engine I get puffs of black smoke and exhaust fumes coming up from the back near the EGR Cooler.
The picture I linked above with the cooler is where it appears to be coming from I would even say it was from them 2 bigger pipes.
I've check the whole exhaust and there's no leaks while I was at it I took the front pipe and cat off and refitted them with some exhaust sealant just in case.
I know blocking that breather pipe from the air box off will choke the engine but should it smoke in the engine bay?
My car is a Octavia Mk2 105PD
I can post a video if that will help at at?
Hope you can shed some light on this,
Steve
