Hi yes I meant removing the whole lot, theres a pipe coming off the turbo with a 2 bolt flange on it going into the egr assembly. One of the star key studs is stripped in the aluminium part of the egr

hi I've got a 2007 3.0 tdi manual Quattro avant. 129k I recently noticed the wheel bearing going so have replaced that and cured the noise now the cars developed a vibration that is worst on acceleration it's a bit like the exhaust system is touching the body and the vibration is resonating...
