Hi its the EGR thats causing the Turbo problem as its clogging the variable vane bit up with crud, just replace it as if its the original its not worth the time taking it off cleaning it and putting it back on to find it still plays up, what did you have a remap or one of those disaster in waiting tuning boxes. Steve.

You could try and get the egr cleaned out. If you do replace it ndke sure it's a genuine one and not aftermarket rubbish. The turbo could have vains broken off. Is there any lag in acceleration?

Take out isofix plastics at rear push down and out then pull up front of seat clips with probably break few quid on ebay replaced mine.

Hello Adrian, Forget about the USA - VAG treat their customers differently in this country! Warranty on a 12 year old car? Forget about that too, although as I understand it, VAG were making some contribution on <10 year old vehicles will FSH until a couple of years ago, but not any more as I understand it. Not that it matters, but you don’t tell us how long you’ve owned this car Adrian, and what level of servicing has it had throughout its life. Re getting rid of it - I think I’ve already suggested what I would do if it were mine, but only you can counter or agree with that advice. Be prepared that if you were to sell it, the trade are likely to know of the issue and will price it accordingly. Kind regards, Gareth. p.s. no question of you being a pest - we are here to offer some advice which you can add to other advice given, and then form a more considered opinion.
