Black smoke with exhaust and egr valve smoke in engine

[Welshy_Pete]

That bar thing is the valve lol....theres a plug on the bottom of the bar. When the bar moves up, exhaust is allowed into the intake.....especially at idle to remove NOx, theres not so much NOx produced when you rev it a bit so the valve closes partly.

If theres smoke goming from it, its probably leaking from one of the gaskets (exhaust side I'd guess). If its almost hanging off and blowing lots of smoke that could be your boost leak....but I doubt it'd be that bad. The EGR was leaking on the old golf and there wasonly a little whisp of smoke when booting it lol.....I've completely removed it on the new golf though.

My egr has alot of smoke coming from it. You can see it coming from the back of the engine. Also its all black the egr with all the smoke and stuff.

I think I will put a blank there instead now on both ends its cheaper.

Also I wont have anymore problems with egr valves heap of crap.
