[Vwdiesel] EGR popped!

[James Hansen]

We've had ulsd for most of the life of my 97 Passat (in Canada).  Intake
coking has not been affected in any way, it still does, even after modifying
the duty cycle of the egr.  Where is the oil coming from that burst the
diaphragm in yours Matt?  Isn't supposed to be oil there, other than what
travels down the signal line from manifold boost pressure.
