Title: egr pipe spliting
Post by: poohbear on 11 June 2011, 09:21:04

Hi been having a problem with a rubber pipe on the egr blowing, the first time it split I thort my exhaust manifold had broken as it sounded like the exhaust was badly blowing, so put a new heater pipe on but that split as well so got a genuine vaux part and that split as well, the pipe is conected to the metal pipe which goes around the front of the engine into a one way valve (checked this works fine) under the two trumpets that come off the plenium (have photo but cant get to on here) it lastes a wile before spliting, but as soon as i start towing splits in minutes any idears Cheers

Sounds like you mean the secondary air injection (SAI) pipe, usually symptomatic of blocked cat/exhaust
