You'd get a fault code relating to the EGR if that's the case, like P0409 or similar , have you got your own reader ?Scrapanycar wrote:Hi everyone I am hoping someone can help me, I have recently bought a 2006 2.4 mk6 recovery truck, the problem I've got it that one minute it flys and then the next minute I struggle to get 55mph, I took it to a transit specialist and they have said that the egr valve setup is wrong and from an older mk6 2000-2003 which is the bigger egr etc, the person I bought the van from has changed the engine a couple of times so I'm assuming the older version has been put it, the transit specialist reckons that the reason it's going fast one min and slow the next is because the wrong egr setup is putting it into limp mode. Can anyone offer some advice please I'm not sure whether to get another engine or get the correct egr setup, egr valve, pipes & loom??
Thanks in advance

No problem - you defo need a fault code check next . " Forscan" is dead cheap & works on Mk6's.Scrapanycar wrote:Thanks for the reply, I have got a cheap one but it doesn't seem to read my van for some reason, someone did plug it into a snap on reader before and said it had an egr fault but not sure what codes. On the 2002 mk6 transit there is a sensor just under windscreen at back of engine that has vac pipe going to egr but on my transit mk6 2006 it doesn't have that sensor as I'm told it's built in somewhere else (near intercooler I think) on the newer models, so that would mean it's working against itself I would guess, I'm not sure what to do because the engine runs perfect so would like to keep it and try correct everything. I could start the engine now and get 80mph out of it up hill then 10 mins later I'll be lucky to get 50mph downhill for the rest of the day!

On 2.4 MK 6 TDDI the bulkhead mounted sensor is the boost sensor, the egr vacuum metering device is on the radiator/ slam panel and picks up clean air from the air filter and then one other pipe connects to the EGR itself.martynx wrote:No problem - you defo need a fault code check next .

Just to throw a spanner in the works some 2.4 TDDI boost sensors sit on the outlet (cold) side of the intercooler in the same way 2.0ls have.
. Maybe add some pictures here of what setup you have ?

The pipe in the foreground, can you get a pic of what that connects to ?Scrapanycar wrote:This is the egr setup that I currently have
Scrapanycar wrote:This pics I sent are just examples and not actual photos, what did you mean by foreground?
I have ordered the scanner & looks promising! So thanks for that!
