Dave2302 387 Posted April 6, 2019 D'ya know what, Mercedes do Rebuilt EGR's as well as lots of other lumpy price parts, I fit a lot of EGR's on newer Sprinters, they are same warranty as new, and less than the decent aftermarket price ............. Just doing an Air Suspension Compressor on a 10 plate E Class Estate, MB Rebuilt Unit is cheaper than an Arnott lol Take these MB Rebuilds out of the box and you can see no difference to Brand New, and I've not had one fail yet ............. Oooops, now I've gone and tempted fate lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't listen and you will have to get an EGR valve and cooler fitted later at your cost. Its intermittent at the moment, but hear me now, it will become permanent. 17 hours ago, grant8064 said: Thanks, got another one coming back in next week for it and in the past we've been at £600-£650 all in. Didn't realise Euros were doing them for £225+...might take a couple of deliveries to get the right part but that's a good saving. Yes, I have to negotiate a little to get it down. 3 hours ago, Dave2302 said: D'ya know what, Mercedes do Rebuilt EGR's as well as lots of other lumpy price parts, I fit a lot of EGR's on newer Sprinters, they are same warranty as new, and less than the decent aftermarket price .............

Well now I have learned something .................... Are you saying VAG actually do sell VAG reman parts ?? Perhaps I need to educate my local (Inverness) VAG parts dept with a large Baseball Bat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony911 79 Posted April 7, 2019 Several years ago had a Skoda Octavia that glow plug was flashing and it turned out to be a brake bulb that was faulty. Anybody else ever experienced this if I remember it was a 2006 saloon 1.9tdi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
