Pipe confusion

**Fireline** · 25-06-2017,09:10 PM

Hi guys. Apologies if this should be in the "moron" forum.

My mechanic did a service on my car last week. As a result, he has told me that the car (2003 B6 1.9 AWX AVANT) has a few issues. He advised me it would be best if I sourced the parts (as I often do), and he would sort it out on his return from holiday. He left me a list of parts to get, but for once it's not as easy as it seems.

His notes say that the car needs a new EGR valve (ok, aftermarket job on ebay, simple.) He also says the dip stick tube is leaking. I am presuming he means the orange bit, so that will be another ebay job. The problem comes when he says that I need two boost pipes. I need the pipe from the EGR to the Intercooler, and the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler. Problem is, I can't find part numbers anywhere. I have found what I think is one of the parts on ebay (AUDI A4 A6 1.9 TDi TURBO INTERCOOLER HOSE PIPE 8E0145834M 8E0145834P NEW | eBay), but I just can't get any sense on the EGR to intercooler pipe.

I guess my question is two fold. Firstly, have I found the right pipe; and secondly, has anyone got a picture of, or a link to, the EGR pipe? Any help would be fantastic, as I am stressing majorly!

What's wrong with your egr valve ?

The EGR is leaking oil badly. I have been in and looked at it myself. It's not pretty.

Atmospheric holes or manifold O ring ?

Your build sticker , bottom right , OGE or OGZ ?

Manifold O ring. I know it will leak some from the atmospheric holes. I will check the sticker when I get a chance.

Put in a new O ring rather than buy a complete egr ?

I could do, but I don't want to mess about really. I am not the one who uses the car most, but I am the lucky one who gets to sort it out. In order to save earache, I'd rather just fit a new, aftermarket, EGR. It's the pipes that are confusing me, and that's where I really need the help.

I can't do a delete on mine. There are some major gremlins in the computers, and I am not willing to let anyone near it for the remap it would need to complete the delete. Fitting a new EGR valve doesn't bother me AT ALL.
