    fuel pump on 2.0 170ps- rather confused- help

    Hi all so I need to access my coolant thermostat/manifold which is mounted to the rear of the engine block, behind the egr cooler connector pipe from the valve- silly me didn't replace the o-ring between thermostat and block so it is draining all the coolant. I am told by my garage that to do...

    Just bumping this as I need to know how to proceed- even the garage doesn't know if it is timed :/

    Just replaced EGR cooler, now leaking coolant every trip, help?

    Got the car to the garage- looks like I forgot to get the o-ring fitted between the cooler manifold and the engine block. this will be a pig to refit, does anyone know whether the fuel pump is timed? Removing this will make life easier but I am told it is timed and therefore not to go near it...

    Just replaced EGR cooler, now leaking coolant every trip, help?

    update- having looked at the coolant manifold online to see where the thermostat is, I had a feel around and couldnt locate it at all. In any case, the whole area was dry (sooty, but dry). The leak appears to be coming from low down, under the main engine block toward the back. I fear the...

    Just replaced EGR cooler, now leaking coolant every trip, help?

    I don't actually remember removing the plastic U clip, I wonder if that is the issue as I wouldn't have made any effort to replace it. Is it easy/obvious how to replace/secure this? I'm not necessarily losing all my coolant though, it just drops down to a certain level- this may be because I am...

    Just replaced EGR cooler, now leaking coolant every trip, help?

    I have just successfully managed to replace the EGR cooler and connector pipe on my '07 2.0 170 quattro. Hurrah! As you can imagine, doing this incurred a big loss of coolant (I had to remove the coolant manifold in order to gain clearance to fit the new pipe around the back of the engine). I...

    Replacing EGR cooler and pipe on 2.0 170ps- help!

    The guy who replied before my last post with the pic. Managed to get it all switched over, had to remove the fuel filter and coolant manifold in order to wiggle the connector pipe in but got there in the end. I've not seen anyone explain how to do this job on my variant of engine so took some...

    Replacing EGR cooler and pipe on 2.0 170ps- help!

    Intrigued that you say not to remove the EGR cooler. I had been debating whethe to do this but cost of parts was significantly less than the remap required to delete the egr. Plus I am told it is now illegal to do this. Interestingly though, I noted the gasket between the EGR valve and the...

    Replacing EGR cooler and pipe on 2.0 170ps- help!

    So my cooler pipe has blown off where it meets the engine, and the connector pipe has blown where it meets the egr cooler. I've managed to remove the cooler and the old connector pipe, however can't get the new one in. Do I have to remove the coolant gubbins mounted to the rear of the engine...

    Hi Folks, So my steering rack has failed again, this happened approx 3 yrs ago so the refurbed rack has not lasted long. It appears to be leaking from the drivers side of the steering rack, same place as last time I believe. So my question is, why has this happened in the first place, and...

    Took car to ATS on Saturday, pre-gas vacuum/pressure test was A-OK and actually some gas came out too as it was still half full. So re-gassed etc and now working fine, they got 6 degrees C out of it. No longer stuck in econ mode which is a relief. Will continue to monitor as I was expecting it...
