Stage 2 EGR and DPF mod. 184bhp and around 100nm on top. Been told it can handle more but i'm happy with that modest increase if it means having a reliable car. Rolling road before and after included

Re: 2.0tdi died after heavy acceleration and now won't start
VW are offering 24 months goodwill (huh) on 11 engine parts related to fuel system and emissions from the date of the emissions update, that is if it has been serviced by them post fix, way to get money out of you for servicing eh? 4. Which components are covered by the Trust Building Measure? The ...

Re: Watchdog advising not to have the emmissions fix done
Verbal isn't good enough as the incompetent VW company can 'accidentally' apply the so called fix at any point on any visit when in their custody. You need to sign a document get a copy and only then would you have recourse . Problem is, they are applying it even if you've signed a document saying ...

Re: 2.0tdi died after heavy acceleration and now won't start
I don't know whether some poo from the bottom of my tank has gone through the system because I let it get down to 15 miles before empty the lowest in 2 years of ownership. I will keep the thread updated Thats an old myth. Fuel pickups inside the tank are at the bottom, so regardless of how much fue...

Re: Passat B7 Folding mirrors automatic
I'd prefer to keep it on comfort closing. When winter comes, you could end up damaging the motors if they are iced up and frozen in place

Northern Tuning Companies
Morning all Can anyone recommend a local tuning company in the North East that can do an emissions fix reversal? I'm looking to get the emissions fix map removed and the standard map put on. VW refuse to do it, so it looks like i'll have to pay to get it removed. I've heard some companies can revers...

Re: B7 1.6 tdi idle surge
Noticed random problem with my tdi. Pull up to a standstill so car is idling. Revs pulse from 900rpm to 1200rpm.... Odd. Car has had the ecu update. Also noticed cooling fan running after turning off quite often. Even on short 5 minute runs up the road. Your car will be doing a DPF Regen, and you a...

Re: First mod to my Passat b7 estate
Thing is I've now lowered my budget! I went to seen that B7 Estate today, there was a million stone chips all over the bonnet and bumper, would need re spraying, I then saw a (and hear me out) 1.6TDi B8 SE Estate in grey, took it for a drive and was surprised how pokey it was for a 1.6, same lovely...

Re: Watchdog advising not to have the emmissions fix done
Is this across all the diesel range? I'm currently looking for a B8 2.0TDI model year 2016/2015? B8 should be fine. This only affects cars with the EA189 engine (Euro5 cert) but covers engines from 2009 to 2015, and that is the 1.6 and 2.0 TDI with Common-rail injection (not the older PD units). Th...

Re: Does your DSG do this ?
I do beleive there was a recall for DSG's, something to do with replacing the trans fluid to prolong the life of the box.

Re: Think I've knackered my subframe!
Just the bottom arm by the looks of it. The bush looks goosed anyway, so may just get away with replacing the arm. I hope so bud.. it seems a slight bend on the subframe part where the arm connects.. not sure.. it's in the garage & I'm waiting a return call.. gutted. Sent from my iPhone using T...
