EGR Replacement - 60 Plate Golf 2.0 TDI

[bp418220]

Hi

Just a quick question regarding the EGR unit on my golf that i have just had replaced at the VW garage due to the coil light coming on - they paid for the unit and 50% of the labour so i was quite happy at that

On the invoice it states that new EGR unit fitted along with all associated gaskets and pipes

Now, forgive my ignorance but i know nothing about engines really. Ive been told by someone at work to put some BG244 in next time i fill up, but is this necessary now after the EGR unit has been changed? What i mean is are there other elements of the engine that the BG244 would help with that would not have been replaced as part of the EGR replacement

thanks

It claims to clean injectors , chambers etc , save your money it will do nothing

As said above, save your money. The EGR gets clogged up with the diesel soot that's getting recycled round the system, no diesel additive is going to stop it.

They clog up quite quickly, its beneficial to clean them out at every service but in reality it never gets done.
