2.0 TDI hesitating at low revs

[jam123]

Hi im new to this forum so firstly hello all. Secondly the problem that you are all experiencing happens during EGR on/off, I have cured 3 tdis that hesitate/misfire symptom all happen around 1500/2000 rpm usually town driving or just gone over a speed hump. Anyway there is a modified egr gasket that goes on the pipe directly onto the EGR instead of the big hole that matches the diameter of the pipe and EGR its a gasket with a smaller hole. Ill see if I can dig the part number out but might be a week or so before i can.

Interesting - is it a hard thing to swap out?

No 5 mins max two bolts pull the pipe out and replace gasket. If you take the engine cover off it's right at the front of the engine. I'll try and get the part number of the gasket for you this week.

069 131 547 D, nothing special about it though, a 32-mm bore gasket, £2.60 from VW.

Hi no that's the standard gasket. Just got the part no its 028 131 547B has about a 10mm hole

9-mm hole hot end gasket mainly used on the Golf 3/Passat with the AAZ 1.9 TD 75PS engine. I can see no campaign or TPI info about using this on the cold end of the EGR system and I worry this would cause a restricted flow code. Where have you seen information provided by VAG suggesting this is used?

No it doesn't log any restricted air flow faults or any other fault. Can't remember where I got this info from.

13D8 - have a look under the boot carpet, there might be a sticker there to say it's been done. Still doesn't mean it hasn't been done if there's no sticker.

It's not connected to your problem of course. There was another 'recall' to fix low revs bogging down, can't remember the code but it was done on mine (96/97 model). That was another boot sticker.

Dealer should be able to check for you.

13D8? Isn't that the recall for cars with the early 2006/7 spur gear drive failure issue/? Too late to look it up...! Ohh God I should not know these numbers off the top of my head, going to bed now...
