How To: EGR Valve / EGR Cooler Delete Mk5 TDI (BKD / BMN)

The image you posted above, does that reflect your car? It is different to mine.
It looks like the 2003 model. Is your Touran 2003?
My golf is 2006, i didn't realise there was a difference, until now! :scared:
Here is 2003 BKD(as you posted):
Here is 2006 BKD:
So, on 2006:
Hose 45 (from bulkhead to cooler) was discarded.
Hose 44 (from cooler to engine) was connected to the new coupler and then attached to the bulkhead where 45 originally connected to.
On 2003, the egr cooler does not connect to the bulkhead.
It connects at a different point on the cooling system.
So, following the same method, you should:
On 2003:
Hose 34 (from engine to cooler), discard.
Hose 32 (from cooler to engine), connect to hose 48.
You probably wont need the coupler.
You may even be able to connect 32 to 37. As long as it closes the loop and the connection is secure, you will be good to go.
Does that make sense? The main thing is to look at the hoses and find a suitable way to connect them.

:notworthy: thanks.
How intriguing, I had search and search and could find the later setup on diagrams didn't think to look for later models. Mine is an 05, not sure why the revision was made, maybe to product a quick heating system for the cabin?
I had some advice from fb over the weekend regarding solution but still though I was probably missing something and wanted it documented for future reference. I and going to look at joining 32 / 34 as one won't reach alone. Initial solution is a bit of 22mm copper as that's what I had to hand.
Thanks, every days a school day :laugh:
*on further investigation it looks like it might be a touran thing

No problem. I was originally looking at your picture wondering what was going on! haha!
You could use some black 20mm conduit with some jubillee clips.
Or a more permanent solution would be some silicon hose of the correct internal diameter and wall thickness to bridge the gap from 25 to 37, both are solid so silicon hose with jubillee clips would work well.

Hi Jason,
After many many hours on youtube and general searching, I found this amazing tutorial, so, first of all, thank you.
I've an Audi A3, 8p, LHD, Diesel, 140hp, BKD engine, from September 2005. It has a DSG gearbox.
Recently I got this error which put me back on this EGR issue. EGR was cleaned up less than a year ago so I think it's probably gone. Instead of replacing it, I'm into the idea of deleting it!
Error:
16785 - EGR System
P0401 - 000 - Insufficient Flow - Intermittent
My main question is: Is there any problem reproducing your tutorial for a car with DSG automatic gearbox?
Thank you for your time and work.
This is a GREAT guide!
Regards

There should be no issues
