Title: EGR B*llocks!!!
Post by: Omega man 2 on 01 February 2009, 17:41:43
Right, I've just discovered that my egr is leaking water from the back of the cylinder head into the egr system and into the inlet. >:( >:( >:(

How can I seal this off?  I'm tempted to just fill it with resin or something similar.

On my 4 pot the egr is at th back of the head running next to water on a flat surface with just a flimsy gasket seperating them. I've gone through metel and paper gaskets put it doesn't seal it >:(

I'm guessing thats what was wrong with mine - swapped the engine in the end as it was quicker (in terms of time off the road) than pulling the head off and getting it sorted - but suspect that it also had a cracked head given it overheated BIG style..

Yes, I must really buy a v6 ;D ;D

Anyways, can I just seal the system in the inlet with something? :-?
