golf mk 3 deisel. non turbo(self aspirted)
There is no turbo on this model (1H5 engine)
The gasket between the exhaust and the egr pipe is blowing.The glow plug light is flashing until the engine fires up.
Once the engine is going,the car behaves ok,but the power is down,and the fuel consumption is up.
Am I right in thinking that the lack of pressure in the pipe to the vacuum unit is causing the problem?
