Iv just got 1. Loads of people have them as it seems a compromise between a egr delete. I haven't fitted it yet coz I'm gunna leave it till after the mot. Some people said it brings on the engine management light which then has to be mapped out. Think it's worth cleaning out the inlet manifold aswell

I fitted one of those to cure the engine hesitation around 1800-2000rpm, and it really made the difference. However, approx. 2 weeks after it was fitted, the Emissions Management Light came on.

Ended up putting the original gasket back in, and reduced the EGR to the minimum via VCDS. The hesitation is cured 90% I would say, and it does not throw the EML.

Either way, it is well worth it, as it makes the driving much better.

What are vcds?

VCDS is a diagnostic software. You will need a PC, the software and a cable to connect to the car, and allows you to perform diagnostics, i.e. search for errors, change parameters, log information, etc.

There´s a section "VAG-COM & Diagnostics" on this forum with plenty of information about it.
