Michael- You may consider CLEANING the EGR rather than replacing it. Further, I have found the rest of the system often fully clogged, in particular the distribution pipes inside the intake manifold. Here is a cleaning procedure for all. ... http://www.bulley-hewlett.com/EGRFIX.html Cheers, G.

My '81 will soon have it's new complete stock exaust system installed (purchased from the ever-helpful Bus Depot!) but what about the EGR filter? I want to have clean emissions, hence the engine rebuild and complete new exaust system. Questions for the list: Is there a better and cheaper replacement for the EGR filter setup than the aftermarket $170.00 copy of the original VW $239.00 item? By the way, the vw dealer in Atlanta said the vw ones are obsolete/no longer available, and the dealer here uses aftermarket brands when needed. Regards, Mike and Christina Nichols, Atlanta Ga.
