    Has anyone replaced the EGR cooler on the B8 3.0TDI CAPA engine?
    Looks like they leak from the thermostat, any help or knowledge would be appreciated.

    I had mine replaced by Audi under warranty. My car was 5 yrs old but i had only bought it 6 months before the replacement and the car came with a 1 yr Audi approved warranty.
    They had the car for 10 days !!!!

    New EGR cooler thermostat fitted today, I took the EGR cooler off and it looked functionally good after a clean, the EGR thermostat however had a crack in its casing and was the leaking part. All sorted and took a couple of hours to do.
