Re: VW Passat 1.9 TDi AWX 2001 - P1666 & P1667 - Fixed #

I had one a couple of weeks ago on a 04 plate vectra 2.0 DTi, where the customer had someone fault code read his car with one of those universal fault code readers and came up with EGR valve. He duly purchased a new valve £200.00?, Brought the car in and asked if I would fit it. I did ask how he came to the conclusion that the valve was faulty, He stated that he had googled the fault code and that it was a common problem and was not going to pay `rip off garages to diagnose the problem`. Upon opening the bonnet a quick glance revealed the root of the problem , The short rubber connection to the EGR solenoid was split, Fixed in two mins. The best bit was he then asked if I would buy the valve from him as he did not want to be stuck with it!............
