If it's leaking/blowing from a pipe between the exhaust manifold and the egr, then surely this is a straight fail?
It's still classed as the exhaust system.

Steel wheel. Pass and advise! Leaking EGR valve. Pass and advise! (I do think personally that a badly leaking EGR valve should fail, under a leaking exhaust failure thou). Pass and advise! Pass and advise! Pass and advise! Pass and advise! Pass and advise! Pass and advise! Pass and advise! Pass and advise! Pass and advise! Pass and advise! A steel wheel in its self is not a pass and advise  , although I do accept that most cars now have alloy wheels fitted I never said the EGR valve was leaking, i t was the main EGR pipe from the exhaust manifold to the EGR valve, which did have a large hole in it causing a major leak of gasses at the exhaust manifold area where the EGR pipe is bolted. I think in my opinion that DVSA would have treated the leak as a refusal to test the emissions , and now after the latest special notice I think they would expect the van to fail the test along with the ITEMS NOT TESTED being used for the emissions test not being carried out . I dont understand why that isnt a straight fail? Major leak of exhaust gases ? |

I initially took it that it should fail for exhaust gasses leaking, I tried to gain clarification from DVSA as to whether the EGR system should be included in the exhaust system for leaks, but could not get through to them for an answer. Others on here have said it is not part of the system? Is it or isn't it to date I don't know the ruling on it? |

Well if it isn't it should be...Exhaust gas goes through the pipe  What does it say in the manual? |

Major leak from any part of exhaust system
So You would have to abandon test
