What have you done to your P5 today?

[CheeseHelmet]

Quite possible. I'm highly shocked I've never had issues with my EGR on my car.

Maybe you got lucky and it rusted shut

My car has been idling great since I put in a new EGR valve, best money I spent.

with the help of a friends press, i got my new wheel bearing in. had some issues getting the knuckle back on but it went after a bit. messed up the balljoint pinchbolt so just need to pick up a new bolt to replace it tomorrow and ill be on to some smooth driving

first replacement bearing that went in was faulty so i need to send it back to rockauto. lucky for me I ordered two bearings so I was all set!

i had some hiccups with getting the knuckle off the car because I was being a retard, but with all going well getting the knuckle on and off should take under an hour.

then setting up for pressing the bearing took us about an hour to find the right pieces of metal for propping up the knuckle. but when we found out the replacement bearing was faulty it took us about 15 minutes to press it all out and re-press in a replacement.
