No. Your the first to mention this on the Forum2 months, 8200 km and EGR cooler is ordered for replacement(T6, 204HP)

Indeed it would - please provide if you can. Thanks.It would be very interesting (for the oil consumption issue) to know what part number and suffix the egr cooler is. (to hopefully conclude it's a new part vs the T5). If it appears on any paperwork, could you share it here?
Please check your EGR if it is an "A" suffix EGR it will fail and do a lot of damage to your engine. Once your engine has started using oil it's too late the damage has been done. The CFCA motors are failing world wide because of this issue. The FB page I mentioned above already has 450 members with the same problem. These are only the ones who are actively seeking answers. If you have any question please join this page for some help.

Of course there is a lot of Internet chatter, but Evidence ? No.It does get mentioned a lot on some of the T5/6 Facebook groups & forums.
Point taken but when you have 170 members on TX, 450 members on the FB page others on different forums that I have read and that's only the people trying to find an answer all with the same problem. All Ponting to a Failed or replaced EGR with high oil usage. To me that doesn't sound like a bit of a coincidence. The EGR is the main reason it stuffs the engine due to failure everyone getting oil tests done are coming back with extremely high Al and Si levels including myself on a 2014 "D" suffix EGR.
Now I find it funny how some members of the forum have deleted both the EGR and DPF and now there oil mineral levels are now normal.
To me the evidence is there.
Extreme heat from the turbos are causing the EGR to corrode and fail.

Just confirms exactly what I have been saying. No evidence just supposition. There was a problem with 2010 - 2011 CFCA engines and this was a manufacturing problem, corrected for the MY 2012. Not ALL vehicles were affected and unfortunately if you were a low mileage user, especially California users, you could just be coming to the point where you MIGHT have problems.What about this article then it suggest that all CFCA will fail.

I would be very suprised if the computer is not plugged in on every service. I would guess the fault was not there 7 weeks ago. Have you asked the dealer. I have had to wait a few weeks for repairs which I would class as non urgent yet been fitted in very quickly when major off the road problem I think that is acceptable as if they dropped everything for non urgent fixes they would not have space to fit in the VOR work.The interesting question is whether the plug in system presented this issue when the van was serviced by the same dealers 7 weeks ago and they just moved on because the engine management light had not illuminated on the dash
