That's a good estimate - I was quoted £454 this morning for what I believe is the same issue. The part was £245.19 as Scopse said which effectively confirms it!I imagine if this job was done at an Audi Garage, you'd be looking way upwards of £400 all in. So for £185 I can't complain all that much. Happy days. Thanks to everyone again for their previous info.
...You used a RED wire for a NEGATIVE terminal connection???
Tsk tsk!
Other than that... nice write up!
just red line it was showing 40 miles left and then it started shuddering going up a hill as if it was out of diesel so drove it less then a 1/4 of a mile and filled it up but i think the shuddering was the start of the imf probs not a low diesel prob
Thanks for the help from everyone in this thread
I've put all mine back together, and it's running as it was. Going to order that new Pierburg part in a few minutes and I'm sure that'll solve the Engine Management Light being on.
Looks like petrol engines not immume either! £156+Vat for new one from EuroCarParts. Car might be 6 years old but it only has 25K on it!
I just looked inside my egr valve today (A3 2.0 FSI 2004) and the picture is identical to yours with the same cog teeth snapped off!

Audi want about £300 to replace it,however the car runs fine the way it is with no apparent problems,although i do get a 17811 fault code (egr flow deviation) and the yellow engine management light.
I have this same Problem...I've been driving with this problem for like 5 weeks with no other problems.....Does anybody know if this will lead to other big problems if I don't Fix it?
I have been driving with the egr problem for almost a year now but with no problems with performance or fuel consumption etc.
I would like to fit a new egr valve myself but apparently it has to be adapted to the ECU in order to work properly.
Things were much simpler on my austin metro!
Is your Engine Light On All the Time?
hi guys, new to the site, but just browsing through this thread and i have had similar problems with the emissions light coming on, have sent it back to the dealers and had the imf changed and just checked and it is the new revised part, the emissions light had gone but on my way home tonight, its raised its ugly head again, so has anyone got any ideas to what the problem would be this time.
