Diesel fumes in the vehicle (Sharan)

[DOO]

My daughter has a 2013 Sharan ( this is her second Sharan ) and she has encountered a problem with diesel fumes in the car and depending on the weather these can be just about tolerable to intolerable. She was advised to have the ERG valve repaired which she did and the problem seemed to go away only to return in recent times. My questions are, is this problem related the the valve entirely, how much is the cost and replacement of a new one !. It is serious to the point where she wants to change the vehicle entirely when perhaps a change of valve may sort out the problem. Any advice or input is very welcome. Thank you.

I suppose if we go on the assumption that it is the EGR then it is probably not getting driven hard enough to keep the valve clear of carbon.

The only viable and cheapest option around this is to fit a blanking plug as all new EGRs will probably block up the same way

Thank you for getting back with your suggestion to the query raised, it sounds like a very good option to me and which I will pass on  to my daughter. Thank you again. Daniel
