Re: state of gte battery charge

Re: bought a high mileage passat gte - so questions

i am forming the opinion the charge defaults to about 80% when left to its own devices, i have come to that conclusion as it never shows more than about 23 miles and i know the 13kw battery boasts about 31 miles, and i accept its still the tailend of winter so it wont achieve that anyway yet.but my ...

egr simulator

it seems an over zealous MOT man discovered a TAFMET egr simulator, which i think fools the egr valve into thinking its open. its been on at least 5 years ( before we bought it as an ex lease car) and had no idea it was there as we have never done anything to the car - just drove it.
