Car in question is a 2003 VW golf.
Recent maintenance includes
new turbo
rebuilt head
clean intake manifold and egr cooler etc
timing belt and all components.
Before I did the maintenance, i did not have the code. Afterwards I do.
While driving today I realized today that my inspection ran out in August
I live in NY so I have emissions which includes no CEL. (P0401)
I've been searching for answers and everything leads me to clogged this and that, vacuum lines, or EGR valve being faulty etc.
Went out tonight to check out the vacuum lines Visually nothing is bad, I started the car and hooked up my mitivac to the line that plugs into the EGR valve, it held 20 in.
I removed the intake hose to see inside the EGR, hooked up my mitivac to the egr nipple, squeezed the trigger and the EGR holds no vacuum to open it.
Am I doing something wrong, or do you think the EGR is bad?
