VW Eos problems with exhaust gas recirculation or EGR valve

Hey, the symptoms definitely sound like a faulty or stuck EGR valve. I had a similar problem with my 2015 VW Golf. The check engine light came on and the engine ran rough, especially at idle. There was also a strong exhaust smell and loss of power. My garage checked the EGR valve and found that it was stuck and had to be replaced. This was a serious matter because the EGR valve plays an important role in exhaust gas recirculation and engine performance. After the replacement, the car ran perfectly again. You probably won't be able to avoid a visit to the workshop, but after that things should start to improve again. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for your answer! That confirms my suspicion. Do you remember how much it cost to replace the EGR valve? And were there any other problems after the repair or did everything run smoothly again? Thank you!

Hey, of course I still remember it! It cost me €355 to replace the EGR valve. Since then, the problem with the "functional error in the EGR valve" was resolved and the car ran perfectly again. There were no further problems after the repair - the engine now runs smoothly, no more exhaust fumes in the interior and no loss of power. So, if you have similar symptoms, it's definitely worth visiting the workshop. After that you should have peace of mind. Good luck and hopefully a good journey again soon!

Hey, great, that almost sounds like a relief! Thanks for the info. I really will have to make my way to the workshop. I had a bad experience last time, but maybe things will go better this time. Do you happen to have a tip for a good workshop in the Munich area? Thanks again and best regards!

Hey I have a problem with my seat ibiza 2014 with automatic transmission since 3 months I can not drive in cold start and get the error p176B I have replaced the DSG in a workshop and still does not work I hope someone can help me please

(Translated from German)

The error code P176B typically relates to a problem with the transmission control module or a sensor issue in the DSG system. Since you've already replaced the DSG, I recommend checking the transmission fluid level and quality first, as low or dirty fluid can cause shifting issues. If the fluid is fine, it might be worth inspecting the wiring and connectors to the transmission control module for any damage or corrosion. If these checks don't resolve the issue, it may be necessary to have a professional diagnose the transmission control module itself. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
