AGR Golf 5 105PS: Engine Management System

Hello,

Does this actually happen often? I've never experienced it before, and there's really nothing that could possibly be loose or move around.

Best regards, Rainer.

Wow... what a mess!

Yesterday, I had a car parked next to me that was making an incredibly loud noise, to the point where I almost wanted to tell the driver. But he probably wouldn't have understood anyway... he was really flooring the accelerator.

How was the connection established before it was disconnected?
- Are you bored?
- A part?

In that location, there's a type of metal bellows that allows the pipe to be installed.
Meanwhile, the reason why the bellows had torn has been found: an M6 Allen screw was lying on the floor. It was one of the screws used to secure the AGR pipe flanges.
Because the bellows were only attached on one side, they started to expand under pressure, and eventually, they simply broke.

Best regards, Rainer.

"I've seen this happen several times (about 5 times) with Audi vehicles, causing the AGR pipes to leak directly at the flange. However, it doesn't seem to be a widespread problem due to the relatively low production numbers. What's more common is cracking in the exhaust manifolds, especially in tuned vehicles."
