Leon TDI Cupra 150 EGR fault code.help!

Hi,i was wondering if you guys could give me some much need info.

The story starts like this:-

*On putting a new cambelt on the car around a month ago i noticed a serious amount of built up deposit and sludge in and around the throttle butterfly and egr.

*So last weekend i took off the throttle body/EGR valve to give it a good clean,a lot of crap came out so i cleaned up like new,i only used brake cleaner and a rag.I refitted and off i went.

*Car drove great,went on around a 150 mile journey,stopped at services,went to pull off and the EML came on.

*Plugged vehicle up and came up with the code "EGR system,upper threshold reached.Code-19586.

*Canceled code,no probs,drove around a 60 mile journey,stopped at a tesco,drove off,EML came on again,vehicle was driven very easy(not thrashed etc!)

*Plugged in again,same code.

Does anyone know is my EGR nackered??I never took the egr canister off,only the valve at the inlet manifold!Is there a special way to put back on after removal???or do you guys have any more info or someone had the same problem???

Any info would be great,many thanks

Ok,thanks for that,
So is that butterfly thing at the entry of the inlet manifold to stop the engine from stalling etc??

The vacume pipes are definetly on the right way,one has a slightly bigger bore than the other.

Would you be able to explain to me which part is faulty,the space ship type thing(is that the egr?)or the plastic part at the side with a rod on it which controlls that flap???

Is there any visual way to test them???

Also does any one know what the coded number on the fault code means.

Many thanks again

Anyone out there with some more info on this?????,would be very greatfull.Thanks in advance

Is there any way i can test the egr???
What does the code number come up with,is it the valve or the canister underneath which is at fault???
I see you can get these allard egr removal pipes,what is the purpose of them??are they cheaper than buying a replacement egr???

Thanks again

Aaaa ok,the valve before hand i think was clogging,thats the reason i took it off was due to the mass of sludge and baked grime around the shaft of the egr.

The egr is as clean as a whistle now so when it says egr,its only after cleaning it i get this!!typical
Upper threshold reached does it mean it isn't opening enough or opening too much????

So if i fit a allard intake and junk the egr it will allways put the eml on will it?????

How do you go about removing it from the ecu or diag equipment??

I have accses to a wurth diag laptop,can this do it or is it a job for the VAG????

Ok,many thanks guys.I have only accses to a Wurth laptop,is it only the vacom tester that can do this????

What if i disconnected and blocked the vacume pipe on top of the egr,will this disable it and knock off the light???or just disable it and keep the light on???

Also you said the light cannot be removed with my ecu,is it only on an after market ecu??or
just a remap on the current one???

It really bugs me having my EML on in front of me,are there any options out there to get it to stay out without having to buy a new EGR??How much do they go for???

Many thanks guys

Very true about the eml,i plugged the wurth laptop up,cleared the fault and it did a 240 mile journey yesterday(120 each way with stops!!)and no eml!!.....I thought great stuff,its sorted itself!!but leaving the house this morning......3 miles and it was on!!!,

What do you guys think my next move should be???the car has only just turned 40k,it was running great(still is bar the eml!!)i decided to clean the egr and inlet because of the serious build up of gunk and now i have a fault!!!..........thats all i did as mentioned above was remove the egr and wash it with brake cleaner and a old tooth brush and replace.....and now i have a fault!!

Guess the saying dont fix what aint broken is very true!!!

Also,i had the ecu remapped with performance torque 10 months ago,if i put a alllard repalcement on the vehicle should they be able to sort the light????does the allard get rid of the egr and that butterfy flap??????...if so would the engine run ok???How much is the allard compared to a new egr?????

Sorry for all the questions but trying to sort this problem the best i can.

Many thanks again

Yes i know,the car is running great,if i was to disable it i could fit one of those allard ones could i???how much do they retail at???
Im just thinking if i ever sell the car etc i dont want the eml on
Is it the same egr thats on the 150 VW's/Skoda/Audi's or the 130/110 VW/Skoda /Audi's,im sure i can find ones in the skrap yard.Would they work ok????
