    Just waisted a whole afternoon of my very limited 'free time', anyway can anyone give me a solution to a what should have been a simple 5min job,I'm trying to remove my EGR from a 2001 VW Passat 1.9Tdi AVB Engine. And there's one bolt putting a complete stop to my endeavours, as you look at the EGR from bumper it's the one on the right (both are underneath) the inlet manifold is in such a position it completely prevents me from using torx key or even socket set!!! :( oh btw just ordered torx 40 T bar from local supplier at small money,but wont have it until early next week, and not 100% convinced it will do the job, anyway thanks in advance.

    I used a 1/4 ratchet spanner with a allen key to take it off my AVB engine last week.

    Allen key or hex torx! I took the left bolt of with torx key 40. I wont be able to do this untill next Tuesday so want to make sure I have exact fit...and as you used ratchet spanner it must have been allen key you used, so now I'm little confused.
    Thanks in advance.
