Morning all,

Whilst changing the oil on my A4 yesterday I noticed a lot of sludge on the undertray. Further inspection found this:

Seems that the pipes are very loose, almost like it's missing a spring clamp or similar? Anyone know for sure?

Cheers,
Dan

The sludge will be coming from the two little holes on the sides of the EGR, and possibly from the boost pipe connected to it if the seals have worn.
The wobbly bit of the down pipe is the flexy, but it looks busted to me mate.
