EGR Cooler Bypass

Post by gavin_d549 »

Got a 2009 2.0 TDI 137bhp (CBDB engine). I recently got her remapped to Stage 1 and deleted the EGR via software. Few weeks have passed and now I have a load of white smoke coming out the exhaust. It's obviously coolant. After a bit of research, it turns out its likely a leak in the EGR cooling system. It's definitely not a head gasket.
I'm looking to bypass the EGR cooler by taking the coolant lines and connecting them together. I've 19mm coolant hose bought. Can't seem to figure out where the EGR coolant lines are. I know they're hidden between the engine block and the firewall, but when I stick my hands in there, I feel nothing. Looking for some help pls.
Thanks!
