Under bonnet familiarisation

homerorchid · Nov 15, 2022

Just curious, don't need to know but what is everything under the bonnet of my 2019 T6 DSG 4MOTION 199. I know the obvious eg windscreen filler, oil etc but be interested to know other bits eg all those metal tubes ect

The metal pipe at the lower area with a bellows looking section is the EGR pipe which has been known to split. Symptom is an exhaust smell inside when driving.

EGR. When it goes off, reach for you wallet.

Is there anything specific, other than what has been shown above, that you would like to know ?
if so take a photo and post it in the thread, someone will let you know what it is

Thank you Perfectos, been wondering what the long metal tubes (towards back at right leading to engine) with grey knobs on are? Thank you all for taking the time to feedback just to satisfy by curiosity

Hazard a guess and say air con (low side?) Grey cap cover the valve for charging or it could be coolant circuit bleed valve ?

The metal pipes and the 2 grey caps/knobs? are top right. Tried to upload photo but my IT skills are lacking

My 2021 registered T6.1 has the secondary fusebox above the starter battery. Anyone know how to unclip it all to remove the battery (should that ever be necessary). Thanks.

If you take off the oil cap for any reason, PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET, unless you enjoy spending a long time fishing for it at the bottom of the compartment.
