Audi TT Cabrio Probleme mit dem AGR-Ventil

Loss of engine power

Shaking while idling

Strong exhaust smell

Engine shuts off by itself

Unsteady engine

Check engine light on

Hi guys, I need some help with my 2008 Audi TT Diesel. The check engine light is constantly on, the engine tends to cut out on its own and doesn't perform as well as usual. At the same time, I notice a strong exhaust smell and the car often shakes while idling. I have a feeling it might have something to do with the EGR valve, but I'm not sure. Has anyone had similar problems before and can tell me what was done at the garage and what their experience was? I would be delighted to hear from you.

Hi, I had a very similar situation with my 2006 Audi A4 diesel. I have a bit of experience with cars but am not a professional. I had to take my car to the garage and they found that the EGR valve was faulty or stuck and had to be replaced. The repair cost me 355 euros. If you could give me the exact details of your car (model, mileage, etc.), I might be able to help you.

Thank you for your answer and help. My TT now has quite a few kilometers on the clock, namely 189432km. My last service was recently, but these problems were not fixed. If the EGR valve is the problem, the price range mentioned could be pretty close to my guesses. Let's see what the guys at the garage have to say. Thanks again for your help.

No problem, always happy to help! Given the number of kilometers, it may well be that the EGR valve has simply given up the ghost over time. In any case, it has all the symptoms. So yes, you could be exactly right. Next time you go to the garage, tell them to take a closer look at the EGR valve. That could also save you a few unnecessary repair costs. Hopefully they'll be able to solve it quickly and easily. Good luck!

Thank you, your words give me a bit more reassurance and I will definitely discuss having them check the EGR valve. Hopefully the damage isn't too bad and I can get this sorted quickly. I really appreciate your help, really thank you for taking the time to reply to me. Take care and always have a good ride!
