16786 - EGR System: Excessive Flow

Post by woter324 »

Hi Guys,

Just run a VAG-COM diag on my Polo 9N (BBZ) and I have the above error. Apparently this is a common fault and often rectified by a good clean.

Porblem is I can't locate the Exhaust Gas Return system. I've read it should be close / on the exhaust manifold. Well I have found a picture of one for a TDI http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?p=711141, but I was wondering if anyone has any photos or could point me in the right direction where I might locate it. If it is the same as in the pictures, I can't see anything that looks close :(
It may also be a kinked pipe: http://www.ilexa.co.uk/forum/index.php/ ... 154.0.html
Many thanks

woter.
