I'm a n00b to this forum but have been building VWs forever it seems, turbo VR6's, 1.8ts, TDI's etc but I have yet to come across a problem like this. For some reason I keep breaking EGR tubes, I am on the 3rd one now and its been installed for less than 2 months and it already looks like this.
2004 TDIPD100, any one have any ideas? This is a very expensive eating habit as its costing about 100 bucks each time. The first time it was replaced by the dealer and each time there after has been by me. The pipe connects the exhaust manifold to the EGR cooler. Never raced or beat on but it does go on spirited drives on occasion.
