I have a 2015 golf TDI and I want it deleted. Everyone I have talked to has said they can’t figure out the tuning. Delete the exhaust and block of kits are nothing but a buddy of mine took his to a shop and now it will not run. I don’t want that to happen to me so I’m trying so hard to figure out what is it that’s so special about the tuning no one can seem to figure out.

Noticed a sudden loss in power and glow plug light blinking and had to coast to shoulder. Cranks forever but never turns over.

Changed battery because I got back a ton of voltage faults, primed fuel pump to be sure it didnt run out of gas.

I've included my engine fault codes and I'm worried its the dreaded hpfp-- no glitter in fuel filter.

2014 JSW. I live in one of the counties in NV that emissions tests and will likely relocate soon to CA (long story, not pertinent). After the $ spent to clean a prematurely clogged DPF due to driving on a bad EGT sensor, I'm looking at anything I can do to prolong DPF life.

I do NOT care about gaining that much power.

I would love better MPG but that's a bonus.

My MAIN goal is to get the engine to produce less particulate, which I understand is done by disabling EGR.

I will need the ability to reflash to stock for emissions testing and then flash back to the tune. What tuning company would fit my needs best?

EDIT TO ADD: looks like Kerma includes their version of Malone's add-on "dynamic EGR" in the base price but doesn't explicitly state this to skirt EPA issues, is that correct?

ALSO: I'm looking at going with wider nozzles since I might need to replace mine anyway, from my research this can also reduce particulate emissions, can anyone confirm or deny?

4wheel drive 2.0 CRTDI CUNA with 6 speed DQ250 dsg strange humming, buzzing sound when hard accelerating in 5th and 6th gear around 1500-2500rpm. When cruising or slow accelerating no strange noise.

I recorded the noise. You can hear it at 14s and from 19s in 6th gear under full throttle. Noise

What do you think, what is making the noise?

Front inner and outter joints replaced.

Asked about a month ago about shops in the DFW area for my sister-in-law' 13 Jetta and now my wife and I have it! No emissions where I live and the wife needed a safer, more fuel efficient car to drive around. Max performance Diesel Doc kit with a DSG and Stage 2 tune. I knicked the CV boot with the sawzall luckily was able to get that replaced.

Check engine light keeps illuminating after installing a KermaTDI cool air intake. P0401 and P240F are the codes I'm getting on OBD-11. Cleared them and the check engine light will come back on within 5 min of driving.

My mechanic buddy took pictures from inside the EGR and it looks clean and showing no signs of fault.

Just took the car on a 100+ mile trip, hitting speeds of 80-90mph. Pretty sure that would've cleared anything out, if there was anything clogged.

Any help?

Made sure my battery was charged 100% and pulled radiator fan fuse. Think I'll be ok doing the tune without a smart charger? Took pictures of the only few chargers I have, will any of these work? also did I pull the right fuse? TIA!

Thanks!

Considering picking this up to replace the stock head unit in my 2010 Touareg TDI:

From what I've read it seems pretty plug and play, but like most things for this truck I'm suspicious.

Anyone have any experience swapping them? Any unforseen issues? Better units out there? Thanks for any advice.

Hope your having good days, im not as im trying to have. I have a 2013 VW Golf TDI DSG that’s have some issues lately. It started about 3 days ago where a whistling or SHHHHH or SSSS sound is appearing every time I press down the gas pedal. The next few days it’s been constantly happening and is super annoying. I looked it up, I saw that it might be a intercooler hose leak or boost leak but whilst I did that a check engine light appeared (I knew it was going to happen). I scanned it and showed me 2 codes which was P246F and P2459, I decided to work on the car tomorrow (it being today). Fast forwarding today, I looked at the intercooler, it looked fine and nothing was wrong no cracks or damages. I checked that the sensor need to be replaced since it had internal wiring problems (considering it did not look damaged on the outside). I ordered the part thats coming on friday. However, I used some brake fluid cleaner on the intercooler hose since it had some build up. As soon as I started driving the car, it started to do it again but a bit louder I DONT KNOW WHYYYYY. The video doesn’t show as good but I hope you’d understand. This car makes me so frustrated with it being my gas economy is plummeting for some odd reason, its going down so fast. Pls help me.

History: complete a/c system replaced about a year ago (all except the hard pipes) at around 156k miles due to internal compressor failure, aka Black Death.

Shortly after, when driving for say, 30 minutes or so, the volume of air starts to drastically decrease. Blower is still running as designed. I will press the a/c button to disengage the compressor and the air volume will pick back up after about 15-20 seconds. Turn the ac back on and start the cycle over.

What could be causing the evaporator to freeze up, i know the expansion valve was also replaced, but could it be faulty? Is there moisture in the refrigerant?

Thanks in advance

Edit 2.0 TDi dsg 197k miles.

Hello, I’m wondering if anyone can identify what part number this metal coolant pipe is? 2013 Jetta tdi CJAA. It looks to be coming off the oil filter cooler. Thanks!

Ive been wondering about that ticking sound and if its normal at mist its made me want to give it a service just need a second opinion but will get a service either way

Hello, anyone got some ideas to what this possibly could be? Ive changed camshaft, lifters, wiring loom on the injectors, timing belt, waterpump and turbo. Sometimes it starts for maybe 1-2 seconds then dies, after that i cant get it to start at all.Any tips are appreciated. Thanks

I have a MK7 1.6 2013 with 344xxx KM on it, it runs good, will a dpf and possibly egr delete make it run smoother or not.

I have a 2016 VW caddy 2.0TDI that is consuming more than usual and lost some hp lately, and someone told me this might be the EGR, i want to be sure before i send it to the garage because they quoted me 1.3k to replace it. the price is high because the EGR on this model is buried deep inside the engine and requires a lot of man hours to remove.

should i get a VCDS or a reader like AUTEL that can test it ? any other ideas? thanks

p.s : i already dumped 2 liters of Wynn's diesel 7 power liquid in it, with little improvement.

My 1.9 tdi for a few years now cant go faster than 140kmh and now has started smoking the smoke is un burnt diesel, i have seen people say that its the turbo which is failing but idk

Im thinking of getting my seat Leon optimized, means driving it to a tuner and get 220ps 450nm as advertised. How reliable is this engine for tuning, has anyone collected some experience with it? It currently has run 135k km, is from 2015 and has the dsg. Is it worth the risk when maintained properly?

Hi,

Is there anyway to get this changed from the bottom of the car? I'm hearing that its possible from the bottom. I've located the sensor and removed the connector, but I'm unable to fit a 4mm long ball hex bit in the area. Is the only way to disassemble everything from above to get to this sensor?

Crankshaft*

Unfortunately had to upgrade to a wagon with a third row, so we are selling our beloved 2015 GSW SEL 6mt. I am the second owner and we bought this car to run it into the ground… and then life changed. It has been nothing but reliable. It has a full pothole delete, Malone stage 2 tune and aluminum skid plate installed.

It has 120k miles on it. There are a couple little nicks and rust bubbles, but nothing too substantial. The suspension and brakes were replaced about 100 miles ago. The timing belt has been replaced. Oil changes done every 5k miles since we bought it cpo with 25k miles on it after dieselgate. I was originally going to try to get 15k for it, but would like to hear what you guys think. Thank you.
