- Fumes In The VW Transporter, its a tricky one to track down, but here's the answer.
The small EGR Pipe on the rear of the engine can crack, causing exhaust fumes to escape.
In the video I show how to diagnose and replace the broken pipe.
Part number for the updated egr pipe available from TPS Or main Dealers is VW AG DE WZP 04l 131 521 BH

Same issue with mine, looked at this video as I couldn’t see what the issue was after looking at this found the fault weighing a couple of seconds and I can’t thank you enough bud 👍👍
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks to your video I have found the same fault on my 2018 T6 - how many more owners have been driving around for weeks in a German gas chamber - should have been recalled 😂
Yes it should have been recalled, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks very much for the video and excellent tips for replacing this pipe. Most DIY'rs dont have a cordless ratchet so just use a short ratchet with extended length 12 sided torx bits (triple square). Easy to drop bolts so your best friend is an extendable magnet or put something under the pipe to catch anything you drop. Bolts should be torqued up to 20kn but very difficult to get a torque wrench in there. The gaskets are worth replacing while you have it out and are not too expensive. Thanks again, your video saved me a packet and time.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Replied yesterday with my first comment fitted new part today there was a big split underneath but what a job 4 hours you can’t see nothing big hands don’t help what a difference hopefully my fuel economy will increase thanks again
it can be a tricky one, well done Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hey :) i start to smell the fumes in cabin, did a quick search in youtube and.... pummmm i found you.
The problem in my van is exactly the same pip.
Big thanks from Portugal.
Thanks for the video, save me time and money :)
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Hello, I fixed the pipe today, soldered it with silver and it worked well.
Save some money :P
Thanks
Thank you so much!! This great video is a perfect guidance to do the job 👍👍
After watching I thought it must be also possible for me. And luckily there was absolutely no rust at the screws (although 80.000km). Mounting the pipe was even harder than dismounting it....
well done, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
had the same problem, and video very helpful. Advise putting doubled aluminium foil below working area as very little space and needed mirrors to see the area. You're bound to drop at least one screw and the foil will catch it rather than be lost forever! should be a recall on this item as seems to be a common fault!
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks, saved me a lot of time locating the same thing on my T6
Glad it helped, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Got to love VW for using a mix of Allen, Torx and triple square fixings. When doing my camshaft, lifters and timing belt etc I had half my tools of all different sizes laid around.
😂 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
~Thanks, Ive been fumigating myself for 6 months, had enough since the cold weather come !!!
Give it a bash, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
You save my day. I got fume problem a few months, Many mechanics had have different guess.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Check with VW befor doing it your self. I phoned to order one and they are replacing them for free as good will. Worth an ask I did and it's worked out for me.
brill Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Same thing has just happened to mine, i will attempt to tackle it myself now after watching this brilliant video, thanks for sharing, new part and gaskets and bolts £55 direct from VW :)
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
great Vid just started getting the whiff will look at this but might get my mate to fix it as he's a mechanic and I'm too old to try these days Cheers
Glad I could help Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
My t6 just started today thanks very much😀
Good luck! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Done loads of these pipes. VW should recall the lot to check and replace. It's a serious safety issue.
I agree, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Our Kombi has just developed the same fault. Wouldn't have found it with your video! cheers.
Glad it helped! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Brilliant video, very helpful as I had the same problem.

Glad it helped, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Very helpful thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Absolutely legend thank you very much
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I had exactly the same but no faults showing up just getting gassed to death in the cab! I ended up fitting a delete kit and save a few quid!
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Any information on the delete kit please.
Great video.
How long did it take you to do the job?
about 5 hours with all the messing about, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Very good video
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks for the great video did you replace the gaskets as well if so do you have a part number regards Stu.
I think i used the same ones again, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great work contorting down into there.
A question: Would it be worth grinding the replacement bolts shorter so they fit flush-er with only a millimetre or two protrusion out the back?
(On other similar jobs)
Yes unless you can pop a nut on the remaining thread, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Think i would have a word with vw customer services. the fact they have re designed the part shows they know it is a problem they should at least have supplied a new part at cost not hit you for 90 quid, have a go at them you may get some cash back.
The last time the van went to vw for a warranty job they had it 12 weeks, I avoid like the plague 😂 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I don't smell exhaust gas in the passenger cabin, but a P0401 "EGR A Flow Insufficient Detected" error appeared on my T6. Do you think this error could also be due to the intake pipe, or will it be something else? I looked at it, but I don't see any clear signs of a hole in the pipe
Yes possibly, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
very helpful video, just ordering some spline bits but what size is it that i need?
thanks
Link to the Splined Socket Set £19.99 amzn.to/3bcTPTn
this set is great quality, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Did you also get an additional noise from the engine bay with that cracked pipe?
Not really, just a whisper, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I can't smell anything in the passenger compartment, but the vehicle makes a whispering noise on hills and sudden acceleration. Could this be the same problem?
sounds like a split turbo hose, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Did you use the old gasket?
No replaced it with a new one, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Has this pipe been revised for the t6.1 204 dsg
Not Sure? Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
What is the link for the autoglym chamois
This one amzn.to/3f4g1A7 Thanks Ronald for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Please tell me number of this parts
its all in the video description Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Should this not be a recall item, as potentially dangerous poisoning people fault a known fault?,The original part not fit for purpose.
it will be a warranty part, but the main dealers wait time is 6 weeks, quicker to replace myself, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
C’est un turbo ou biturbo ?
No single, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I think my T6 has different engine to this one
some do, depends on the power. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I would put an M8 or M10 or whatever nut on the back of that for piece of mind casting is casting and it won't be as good once you've tapped it out plus it will cover the threads and if you put some copper slip on just in case you have to do this shitty job again!
Sounds good in theory, maybe if I had done it at the time but It would be really hard to get the rear nut on, hopefully it wont break again as long as I have the van😂 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Tried to buy the part but tps won't sell to normal public has to be a garage!!! How stupid is that!!!
Thats lockdown for you, they normally sell to the public, dealers it is then, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Habe ich gleich schade !! 52 tausend km !!!! Scheise winig Platz für Hand!!!
Yes I was disappointed it should have lasted much longer, and it was awkward to get at Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
